Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor23 Sept 2015, 4:13 am AEST

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

@plasmo did they scare you off lol Not seen you in a while. Hope you're okay. Guess it's Macca nite come to think of it.
I ended up moving. Prob few thing left behind so blocked landlords number lol. Figured lost bond anyway but was only 2 wks rent plus if they are feeling generous have my bank details Doubt it tho lol
Am in Perth now. Need an Ark. plus city traffic a shock to system. For some reason google maps doesn't show streetlights, and where am a few things have changed, so having to find my way around again lol . Port won again yest woo hoo .
Had huge car trouble when went to SA prob said. Plus place staying now hit me for 4 weeks bond was not expecting that. Being told it was to do with how I asked to stay at caravan park apparently if say long term they do you for bond, but if just say need something to stay its no bond. Hilarious. So am nearly broke now. Well can get a few grand super after july 1 ha.
Asked about bond loan after the fact plus applied. Fingers crossed. All sorts of rules. Person told me they may not approve it as somehow by getting interest free loan for $1500 to cover upfront accom costs broke me, paid back at $13/wk might send me broke they say ....... thinking Ombudsman if they pull that trick lol
