On Friday I got the house tidied up. I moved the washing machine and =
freezer out of the laundry and DAMN it was dirty under there! I vacuumed up =
the dirt and mopped up the floor. Next I packed the car full of loose items =
to drop off.
That afternoon I canceled my PO Box and headed north for a long trip to =
pick up my keys and sign forms. On the way I had to make a quick toilet =
stop. I finally found the address I was given but it was a house so rang to =
check. No, it was right. The lady runs her business from home. I did what I =
had to do and headed off, stopping only to fill up tge car and get some Red =
Rooster for the next trip.
I got to my new home and went in the back door. The builders were changing =
the locks so I only had keys for the sliding door. I plugged in the garage =
remote system to power and went back out to my car and opened the door =
remotely. I emptied the car and looked around before going back down the =
coast.
Saturday morning I woke early and got ready before the removalists arrived. =
They turned up at 7am and got busy. I filled my car again and got stuff out =
of the shed. It took longer than expected as they couldn’t get their truck =
up my steep driveway. We headed north. They were trailing me by a few =
minutes so I popped into the shopping centre to get a Maccas breakfast.. an =
egg and bacon and bbq sauce deli roll plus hash browns and a big coffee. =
The only time I will eat there is for emergency breakfasts! While waiting =
for my food Telstra rang and said they would be about half an hour or so. =
They were due between 10am and 2pm and arrived at 10am!!! Wow!
I got a call from the removalists on the way home asking if I was arriving =
soon as they were waiting. I said to give me three minutes.
I let them in and they unpacked my stuff while I did the same. The Real =
Estate agent ws showing people through a home down the road and dropped off =
my keys.
Telstra shortly arrived andbwired up my phone and got me to test the line. =
Working in the bedroom but not the kitchen so he rewired it correctly. =
$299 all up! Owners pay $150 though. Whew!
One problem though.. the dishwasher was installed with the power cable =
coming into the cupboard on the right. However, the socket is in the =
cupboard to the LEFT!!
I drove back to the coast home and cleaned, vacuumed and scrubbed then put =
the cat in the car boot. He was not happy, Jan!
I dropped off the keys and remote to the agency and drove home.
More to come soon…

Trejkaz… right you are.
I asked the programmer to do it but I might have to do it myself once I get ADSL again. Should be a couple of simple lines or even a one-liner.
Beno: Yes hehe
