Also, after moving into the building, I discovered weird things like my car-space is not accessible from the garage entrance on my side of the building?! Something else the real estate guy failed to mention!

Seems the two apartment towers each on a different street and joined in the middle by a large communal garden and BBQ area has a carpark that was built in such a way I often describe it like a deck of cards being shuffled by a high roller croupier.

Researching this tutorial has made me miss card games. Now I have other things to be annoyed about.

I attempted solitaire with actual cards in the early times of being one-handed. Soul destroying. Don’t do it!

Who is old enough to remember a great joke from the 90’s about Lawyers

Joke goes like this “What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?”

Answer: A bloody good start.

I offer you the modern version. “What do you call 100 real estate agents at the bottom of the ocean?”

Think you have this from here?

What kind of scumbag sells a forever home to someone who has disabilities advising them falsely on how easy they can access things like I don’t know, a car space, power to a mobility scooter and not tell them of impending costs and increase in fees?

Did I mention we are up for a new lift in 2026? Annoyingly, the lift has been a major annoyance this year, often being out of action for days, sometimes only hours. One particular Friday, I left to go shopping and my phone blew up as the building group chat had so many messages about the lift being out. I had to right leg it up the stairs upon returning from shopping with a carer on her first day with me.

A few strangers, neighbours in the building had come out to help carry my shopping upstairs and for that I was very grateful, but alas, being in a building with only one lift was something that was an afterthought, in the end once I found the right location, number of bedrooms and within a budget, I could cope with.

Thanks dad! Love you, Dad. Don’t hate me because my father loved me.

Decisions

I have finally decided, as if it’s been some kind of Light bulb moment that in my younger days, I DID NOT SHAG ENOUGH MILLIONAIRE’S! Yelling is completely intentional!

As some of you may be aware my father passed away late 2022 and now, we are emptying his house and something I always really wanted to inherit I don’t have room for. Just before he passed, we even had a conversation about it.

He told me he knew I wanted it, but he thought we should sell it with the house to add value to the house.

Three real estate agents have advised not to keep it in the house, not even to style it.

Here’s a joke for you.

What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

(I sweat this joke is 20 years old and I don’t mean any offense. It’s just a reference for the next joke.)

A: A bloody good start…

Lawyer joke

The 90’s! They were rough right? I think today the joke should be…

Q: What do you call 100 Real Estate Agents at the bottom of the ocean?

mmmmmm….

You get my point now, don’t you?

Looking for a new rental property can be brutal. A tenant seems to give notice and the Real Estate advertises it straight away. I get that it’s their job to keep rent coming in for their landlords, but….

Real Estate

The outgoing tenant hasn’t really looked around at their options. I can’t see it until closer to it being available and then there’s a ten-minute open for inspection, where 15-20 other people are there also.

Smaller apartment

I often email the agent to say, are their any stairs? I can do about four steps with a handrail, that’s my limit.

I have been to see a property, it’s cheaper than what I’m currently paying and smaller and not further away from my comfort zone.

There’s no washing machine taps in the bathroom. There is a shower over a bath. Yes, I did ask. The property is way too small. As I walk out, the property manager is standing there at the bottom of the steps to more flats upstairs and she’s telling everyone as they have a communal laundry up the stairs. Sometimes I think there should be a charge for my time and them wasting it.
