was having a great weekend

The boys played a lightning carnival yesterday, all day and got into the grand finals. I don't think that I have seen Nik play so well. I was very proud of both of them.  In between games we spent in the park and couldn't have wished for a better day. Mark is playing football in the half time at Subiaco today so I got up eaarly to take him back to his dads and while I was up there I called into the markets. Nik stayed in bed. When I got home at 11am all looked well so I went outside to the dog. Thats when I noticed the garden shears mangled and they are really good ones. They have tried to cut through the dead lock distroying my door. The dog must have been the welcoming party or something. My teenager was still sleeping through it all.

Well they didn't get in so nothing is missing, though they cleaned us out last time but I was still shook up. The cops are coming soon. They still haven't fixed my window since last time and now the fence is half down too. Hate living in this place sometimes. Back onto homeswest tomorrow. They wrote me a letter saying that my rent is increasing to $160 in November. What a f*@#ing rip off!!!!!

Who you renting through?  We pay $170 a week through Housing.  We don't mind as it helps to fund other families in need.

Remember not to touch anything until they have taken fingerprints  Here's a helpful tip, get some door alarms.  they don't cost much and if that door opens... they're going to cop an earful.  We got them on our windows to stop the girls from throwing their toys outside and they don't even try it now!  You can get them from a hardware store or look in the supermarket.  you just use double sided tape to stick them on! oh, you can turn them off when you are home!

And make sure you get a new door put on!  Whoever is responsible for the maintnance should be making this a high priority!

Re: was having a great weekend
Thanks. I am going to look for those alarms now. We are making a trip to the hardware shop tonight because I am going to get some more security. It is not the best area and unfortunately I am situated with a walkway down the back and it is not easy for them to be seen from the road. Hard to explain just I think opportunists can see that it would be hard for them to be seen. Location you know. Great tip. I will not make it easy for them and they might get the message. At least they didn't get in this time.

Glad to hear things went well at the footy, and $160 is good for rent. I'm paying $170.

Re: was having a great weekend
Thanks guys was just a bit angry. $160 would be good if I wasn't in such a bad area. It is high density homeswest housing though. It is really like the slums right behind the brownley towers in Bentley so am seriously thinking of moving but then scared of losing my job and having no government housing to fall back on. Plus my kids getting older and will move out soon. It is bad not feeling safe. Anyway will get over this feeling soon enough. Still waiting for the police so can get the report done. Then will need to buy new locks yet again. Homeswest take too long to get anyone in so more from my pocket. I am such a winger today. Ha ha.

Hope your son had fun playing footy, and sounds like they enjoy their sport...

As  for the dirtbags that damaged your property, hope the police find them,,.... and also im not surprised rent going up, as its wrong with the government increasing rates all the time for home owners...

take care
love cazza
