Selling a house sucks at any time, but winter is so much more work….sweeping up pine needles, sweeping away puddles that gather where you don’t want potential buyers seeing them, cleaning floors from wet shoe marks!

How far should an agent go to sell your house, and where does the Consumer Guarantees Act kick in? I expect an agent to be ‘actively’ marketing my property, especially at open homes…so if they are standing round with their fingers up their asses rather than highlighting features in my home…aren’t they breaking that agreement I signed? Maybe a strategically placed recording device would help

When we sell this house and get a new place, Nicole will go flatting probably. Who am I without my baby? She has been my reason for everything for the past 22 years…so what am I supposed to do now? I feel Mid Life Crisis looming…any ideas on how I can make it a blast rather than a bust? Maybe I should get all MILF on you all and become an excercise junkie….pffft fat chance.

We found a nice place in Miramar yesterday….for some reason I’m scared to live in Miramar coz Mum always said that when the big one hits, that strip along the airport runway would break off and miramar/seatoun/strathmore would be an island on it’s own…most of which would end up under water! So now do I count Eastern Suburbs out? The plus about Eastern is the garden centres!!! Man I miss gardening, I can’t wait to have a pond again and some fishies…..hope the cats don’t eat them, coz I hate ponds with wire netting over them…ugly!

I’m desperate to lose some weight…I’ve decided to go for a new angle….’hunger is my friend’. For some reason the ‘I’m Hungry’ feeling has always been something I fear….why? Why can’t I just be ok with feeling hungry? I mean I’m not really hungry am I? As long as I know I’ve had enough…then I need to be able to cope with a feeling.

Why can’t we cope with some feelings?

Fear, hunger, depression…..why can’t we handle some feelings? What is the difference between feeling bad about something we just said to someone and feeling bad because we’re hungry? Why can’t we cope with the hunger one? We have to ‘fix’ it or make it go away by feeding ourselves or over feeding ourselves. Any bad feeling, we have to ‘fix’ by doing something to make it go away. WHY?

Why can’t we just be ok with bad feelings, as we are with good feelings?

Something to think about….
