I applied for a whole heap and three more I've found. I have an interview next week.
I don't know when she is coming back. She didn't say much. The other one might be moving in this Saturday Sunday but I'm unsure @ENKELI
How many have you been apply for?
Doesn't help my centerlink got stopped because my parents earn too much. I at least got the low income health care card so that's always good.

Hi @Birdofparadise8 . I had a heap of reconstructive surgery for burns mate. New ear, back and neck and and my arm was given complete mobility. Had a heart attack n strokes in the process so was in a comma for a month or so. It was all stuff that should have been done years ago but did not have the money till now. So now I look in the mirror and the outside looks tip top. A great outcome, with a few hiccups on the way.
What are you reading @Birdofparadise8 .. I wish I could read. I get through a letter or a few pages of a book, and I drift off. But my friend reads to me now and then. I close my eyes and let the luxury wash over me. Its one of life's great joys. Do you have a favourite book.. tonys

@Birdofparadise8 I've applied for about 20 in the past month. A lot of competition with school leavers, especially since they don't have to pay adult wage.
I hate how centrelink works like that. It happened to me when I went to WAAPA (WA Academy of Performing Arts) to study and my mum earned too much. It's total and utter BS.
I just keep applying and hoping something comes up. I was given one job but then the person who was leaving decided to stay.
Yeah the healthcare card helps a lot for meds and transport. I hope something comes up for you soon x

Thankyou @Birdofparadise8 Sounds worse than it was. I have a handful of incredible people
that work for me so if I ever feel sorry for myself, I need a good slap.
Paradise serries hey. sounds intriguing. You'll immerse and escape, the joy of books hey.
I'm a movie tragic. What would we do without the arts. Well I hope you have a peaceful day.

It's been good so far. I'm trying to get into reading, and romance is so good. I love the spice, hahaha.
Movies are good, too.
I'm sitting on the couch debating whether I will wash up or not and get dressed.
I would like to go to the gym as well.
@tonys will you do anything today or do you have to stay in bed?

You had love in your childhood and some heart ache too. @ENKELI . What I like most is your mum
reading out those words and instilling her values , hopes, and dreams into you.
Never had family back then, but it found me at the other end of my life. I'll take my wins anywhere I can get them.
I was thinking how much you remind me of my book keeper. @ENKELI . Similar childhood. Speaks Austrian
Men short changed her badly, and the self esteem issues. She put an add in the paper as a part time, in home, English teacher. and thats how she first walked into my life.
When she is not around I let spell check dig me a deeper hole, and I'm always yelling out to someone
How do I spell this or what's that mean. I sold my business while in hospital, but shes coming with me.
I tell you all this because I think you have the heart and patience of a teacher.
There are lots of old and young alike, looking for that. Personal assistants. People that can cross
the tee's and dot the I's. Tend to the detail so I can focus on direction. I would be 'nothing' without her and a couple of others.
Maybe one day, give it a little thought. Its just an add in the paper. Take care @ENKELI tonys
