Goodbye old house and old life!!! Onto the transitory period before the next big thing... interestingly just yesterday I hear from my cousin in regional Vic that they're seriously considering moving (back) to WA...

E: I also wish to mention that my fingerprints aren't working so well on my phones. Must've been cleaning too hard lol.

I loath going back to an empty place for the final clean. It's an emotional kick especially when you got the place in a worse condition.

I can totally see why people just get bond cleaners to do the job. By that stage of the move you're already exhausted and cranky. If you had to leave because you didn't want to it's easy to feel resentful when cleaning. I'm so glad it's over. I never want to think about that place again now

I do too, but I want my own photographs. Not trusting any company cleaner to match to intake ones properly.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Oh wait so these bond cleaners do the photos as well? I figured I'd still take my own photos anyway after they're done.

I'll keep that in mind from when I move out of my current place...

Nice! Where are you moving to, if I may ask?

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Have moved to a tiny musty old bachelor pad of depression in Richmond. It's just a short term lease, hoping to gtfo as soon as uni is done. Possibly out of Melbourne or even Victoria. Definitely not inner city

Ooh, any ideas where you're headed? Kinda can't wait to join you, although I'm thinking more Europe than another state ๐Ÿ˜
