It has been interesting reading back over the plans we had. Well in a nut shell, we did not proceed with the lower end property renos because the profit margin was slim and too risky for us. The dropping market didn't help. Mr Tiz still works but only works away sometimes. We bought one...

... I have a look every now and again :-)

Hi ya, what a day I've had! Accepted a good offer on the house today so I'm happy to have it sold. I look forward to buying a reno next so I'm off shopping again. Re the liability stuff, it is covered in my normal insurance for the place. I thought everyone had that in their building/...

Hi Jason I will put their names on the database once I have the court order. I tried but can't do it before that happens. I did self manage and the checks I did included ringing his employer and the previous "landlord". I thought that was enough. I now suspect that the "land lord" was...

Wow fudge thats amazing that they left such expensive stuff! The stuff left at my rental was only worth $50 or so. It is all trash really. As I didn't have LL insurance I can't claim. LL insurance was on my to do list but never did get done. Y Man I think you might have a point about...

No I didn't have LL insurance, just never got round to it. I am selling, but buying something else.

She forgot too. Been there done that :o Tis not all bad, life gets busy and we forget things. I suggest a lunch that you book and completely plan.

I've had a bad time recently with my tenants. Just wanted to let you know that it isn't all roses with property investing. Some people do try to take advantage. Anyway, the story is that I had tenants who appeared to be caring for our 4 bed rental reasonably okay. They paid their rent , even...

Oh my goodness this thread was hard to read! Main reason being my clenched jaw I think. As others have said though, when in Rome... I'd be really hopeless if I was starving. I'd be almost dead before giving in and eating a dog or a cat or a rat. Though must admit that the idea of eating some...

Took me ages to get the hang of texting. Now I have got the hang but it is always full sentences with punctuation. I agree about those messages without a name :-( It is frustrating.

That looks great. Bet it was well used yesterday. :)

There are a few laneways near my ppor and I'd just like to share some observations I have made about them over the years. One lane linked a circular quietish road with my busier road. It is a useful laneway because you can use it to cut through to the beach. At various times in the earlier...

Great to hear from you Sailor Bosun :) I missed you as you know. I think it's been a big year for many people (me included) and I find the familiarity of SS nice even when I just lurk. Let us know when the book comes out.

I've sent you a PM Kath.

Flippin heck thats impressive! Did you get it from a specialty store? I thought I was being technical with my new three position tri-lock. Still requires keys though. Your new door security seems to work the same way as my lap top. With fingerprint recognition. That sometimes requires me...

My four year old laptop is now functioning quite well and I've had no more visits from the Beijing spammer. My email doesn't seem to be compromised any more and I'm not sure which particular action achieved that. I think it might have been a bit of everything, thanks for all your input! :)...

Hi Kath Firstly, I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time with these people. They may very well have mental health issues but even so they shouldn't be allowed to use it as an excuse and treat you so appallingly. It sounds like they are taking advantage at the same time as having a...

Thanks Strannik but I've already got Trend Micro and it doesn't expire until 2011 so not keen to replace it right now. Plus I bought the Trend Micro because I felt AVG wasn't working for me so I uninstalled it. The laptop is 4 years old now and was getting very slow and freezing up. It wasn't...

Okay the emails are coming from Microsoft and not from Windows. I've lookedd and I've got auto updates switched on but can't figure out if it filters through to Firefox or just updates Internet Exporer. Re the password, No I've never done one that complicated. I'd have to write it down...

Well my password was a name and a year but I put capitals in as well and it was meant to be strong. With the patches, you may be onto something there. I've been ignoring the windows emails recently. I'll take a look. I stopped downloading all the updates a couple of months ago because my...
