Well we have been looking at huses and haven't got one yet, there are at least 50 plus people at all the opens and not enough housing to go around, many are from aussies who were living abroad and now the pandemic has hit has moved back to australia...so we have 2 weeks to move and nowhere to move to....fingers crossed we find something!
Haven't really been spending much money lately which is good but still haven't saved as much as I would like this month but have been buying a lot of packing boxes...half the house is packed, the shed is almost done and most of it has been put into storage till we buy a house....so just need to tidy up what is left in the shed, move all hubbys wood and a few things that need to go into storage and then we can start moving boxes into the garage and start cleaning so when we move a majority of it will be done.
It's my birthday today but not doing anything but packing and sorting...never really do much...and its 106 here today so to hot to really want to do anything...thankfully the next week is a bit cooler.
I know that when we do get a house the move will be organised and cleaning wil get done...not sure if we will do the yard or pay someone to do it..depends on the weather and my energy levels....I have been doing quite a bit of it...but there are so many leaves all the time since we live under massive gum trees!!
Wish us luck and fingers crossed we get a house soon to move into

I know people don't like what I have to say and that is okay!!
Australia (SA where I live) has hardly been in quarantine since april 2020...and I know so many family and friends in the US that sre trying to quarantine and complaining about it...I seriously try to be compassionate about what they are complaining about...but I just can't as someone with a chronic illness that is my life 24/7...many don't worry about what people with chronic illnesses go through and as I have told them eventually they will be living a "normal" life soon...we don't get that...so sorry if I don't show the same compassion as most but I also don't get compassion...I don't want people to feel sorry for us or anything just realise that our lives haven't changed much as it is our regular life and I'm sorry that yours is...end of rant!!

My hubby left his bank card in the atm over the weekend while trying to help an elderly lady next to him..he just forgot to get it from the machine...the bank called today and someone handed it in so he can just take his id and go pick it up....so happy I was hoping this would happen but you never know these days....still so many good honest people in the world...so that is one less thing to worry about.
We are going to look at a rental today and tomorrow...thinking we are all going to like both but tomorrows house has a big shed and my hubby and daughter like to build things...but it is 2 story and my hubby doesn't have a lot of energy since his cancer treatment so we will see...if not will keep looking...just want to be moved and settle...hoping the move doesn't cost to much...we can't do it ourselves with our lack of energy...we can't lift the furniture or we would.
We have been using what is in our pantry/fridge and freezer and have cut our food budget in half for now..which is great...when we move we will top up everything and then try to bring the food budget down more...food here is expensive but I know we can do better with it than we do!!
Its my birthday in a few weeks...probably won't do much but may have a bbq to use up some of the freezer stock

Januarys bills are already paid and we are now putting everything into savings except that grocery and gas money that comes out fortnightly out of one of our pays...also decided to take out the birthday money this month as well...although we don't need till april and july...but its how I do it..Everything else is going good do have so many medical appoints this month which will cost out of pocket but hopefully will have that covered...as some are new I don't have exact figures to work with...so will just tweak as we go along

Day 2 od 2021 and hubby was doing the banking...was helping and elderly lady who was trying to use an atm...but they were both down...he told her she needed to go to another bank as she was almost in tears...and he forgot his card in his machine and now its gone...I transferred all money from that account to another one...no-one has tried to use it so we will go into the bank on monday and see if anyone has handed it in if not will cancel it and order a new one....we can use mine if we need to..other than that we have already paid our bills for the month...feeling good about our finances this year!!
