Reading Time: 4 Minutes OK boys and girls, we are back! Back for the continuation of our most recent real estate purchase. If you missed part 1, don’t fret! Have a read of it here. Basically, after zipping around the Greater Perth area for the best part of a long weekend, we’ve narrowed the shortlist down to the FINAL FOUR. Ironically none were detached houses, which is a shame because I was on the look-out for somewhere with a bit of land. As we all know, it’s land which appreciates in value and the building which depreciates – hence anything with good land content and value, usually receives a big…

What I’m Viewing
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Howdy folks! Me again. Geez – can you really believe that we are in February already! I certainly can’t, seems like only yesterday that MrsFrugalSamurai and I were welcoming in the New Year under the mistletoe at our friend Emili’s place. Time is absolutely FLYING. Which is why I thought it best to introduce a new series today, it’s something I’ve thought about for a while and hoping you guys like it! Introducing… “What I’m Viewing” Now I don’t mean in like a perverted or voyeuristic kind of way… ha ha, no siree, that happens after dark, no I mean in terms of what I am…

Been a faithful blogreader this whole time. Staying true”. That’s my number one fan this is Stan. For the rest of you, I can explain… Last week, we’ve had a crazy week or so. Getting ready to move out of our old place into our new, on top of housesitting for my parents and babysitting their dog, whilst juggling full-time work, meant that we literally had zero time for anything. Whoa! This must be what parenthood is…

Regret, I’ve had a few
Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up everyone! Hope we’re all having an AWESOME weekend. What’d you guys get up to? Man, tell you what, I am so glad this heatwave in Sydney has passed. It got so hot sometimes that I actually couldn’t function as a human being… I think that’s when you know you need a time-out. When self-immolation turns from an interesting Wikipedia article into reality. I was reading in the news that mid-week, the 15… yes FIFTEEN hottest places on the planet were in Australia… Love it. And so I came to find myself on Friday afternoon in the local Westfields (shopping centre) having a spot of…

Hello 2019
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hi everyone! Welcome back, welcome back. Gestures to an open fire crackling in the hearth. Hope we all had a fantastic New Year’s party – I know I did! And ouch, what a hangover right? We spent our NYE at our friend Emili’s (not her real name, so you’re safe Emily if you’re reading this), chomping on KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and playing a multitude of board games as we waited to ring in 2019. Between all the yelling and laughing and general good times, I had what you would call an epiphany. Been having a fair few of those recently (read here and here). Yknow,…
