I can’t cope

Hahahah @Captain24 . I'm glad you've got set your boundaries. Remember to keep those boundaries!

Sounds like she moves around heaps!

Just the thought of moving gives me a headache. I don't like moving. Too much work.

How long have you lived in your current place?

She does move so much @tyme. Plus Ive had to do so much cleaning and stuff. She does use me a lot and I let it happen. I am scared that I will fall into the same trap.

I’ve lived here for nearly 3 years. The unit before this house I lived in for 7 years. I’ve been back in town for 19 years and this is the fourth place I’ve lived in. The first two houses I didn't leave of choice. One the owner wanted to move in and the other they wanted to do Reno’s.

I despise moving!!

Moving shouldn’t be too hard for you being a minimalist! Just jokes. How long have you lived in your house?

My current house, I've been living in it for 1.5 years @Captain24 . I still have bags of stuff I haven't unpacked lol! It's in the too hard basket... yes, I'm a minimalist, but I still have stuff. LIke when I went house sitting, I had a car full of stuff. I took my own blankets, sheets, pillows, food, etc. Even that fills a car!

My previous house, I was there for about 5 years, then before that was 8 years...

To be honest, I don't really care much about where live. I never go into a place and say "I'm going to live here forever".

I'm still looking at interstate houses.

I have unpacked everything @tyme.

I get the too hard basket. I threw out a whole garage of shit out when I moved. It had been there for 7 years so I obviously didn’t need it anymore. I did do a quick skim through though to make sure I didn’t need it.

Yes. I get you have stuff, I hope you know I was just joking.

Im not sure I could up stumps and move interstate. I have to consider work and the dogs and stuff. But I do feel like I am home living in this town even though I struggle with it.

So you haven’t been with the monkeys for that long?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a move once the monkeys grow up @Captain24 . I'm still looking at WA. One place I haven't been to is NT. I'd like to go there one day.

As for the monkeys tonight, they watched Shrek and then left. I was in a meeting earlier today, and in the background, the little one was like "I need to poo! I need to poo!" Far out! How embarrassing! I told her to leave BEFORE my meeting, but she didn't. She said she wanted to sleep. Yeah right! The next thing I knew, she was singing, wearing my shoes around my place and stomping, then asking to do a poo (because she can't reach the toilet!)....

Joys of kids - and not even my own kids! My sister wasn't home from work yet.

Are you not worried about how to meet people and stuff @tyme

Ive hardly been anywhere. One day I’d like to buy a motorhome and take the dogs on tour with me.

The little one makes me laugh so

much.. I still remember the ‘who’s doing a wees’ I need to poo is hilarious. Makes for an interesting meeting. It could have been boring otherwise, sometimes meetings need livening up!

I don't need to meet people @Captain24 . People generally come to me. I'm not one to be tied down my people. I learnt that long ago. "If you like me, sit with me. If not, that's okay."

You know how some people NEED others? I'm not one of those people.

Anyway, there's a thing called internet and phones now... any connection is possible.

Remember when you were a kid? You probably had the home phoned connected to the kitchen wall? That was me lol.

Fair enough. @tyme. I don’t need a lot of people but I do need my bestie and the friend in town. I just don’t want to be with them all the time.

The phone is great it’s how my bestie and I have stayed connected.

I didn’t have a home phone until I was in year 11 and that was 1993! It was in the ‘sun’ room where everyone could hear what you were saying!

Yep! The good old days where everyone knew what you were talking about @Captain24 ! How fast tech has advanced! It's scary!

Anyway, I'd better be off. Thanks so much for the chat. I'll catch you over the weekend.

Thank you for tonight @tyme.

I do struggle a little on weekends as I don’t always feel safe on here.
