Homeless beachbum Just an update. The first move is now over and we are officially homeless on the beach with a really healthy bank balance :D Luckily weather this week could not have been better and some relaxation is more than welcome after all the madness in our life recently. I still can...

Removalist Recommendation Sorting out stuff has been distrubing my internet activities :D If there is anyone that has moved recently in Melbourne please feel free to add here recommendations or overall comments about your experience. I have been in contact with a couple firms that I found from...
