What about apartments
It will be a massive change for me to lose just a proper backyard, I just couldn't take having zero outside space. And I just have to have a cat that would need it as well.

I can afford what I want (and that place) but they just don't come up that often in the right spot.

Perth if you are fine living in an apartment is pretty good value though, $400k would get a lovely 2 bed in a very nice suburb.

I came to the realisation recently that most of the people in my life that I have been 'friends' with were complete dick heads.
Thinking about this not all, a couple of them are great people and give me good answers/covos when I do contact them via txt/fb. But it seems all a bit one way.

I added her to FB a year ago but I really got along very with girl in y12 and the year after when we moved to Perth. I thought why the hell did I just forget about her after that. We should have been good friends, 10 times better than all the other arse hats I've known in my life. Would see each other at a party or the pub and would always almost race over to talk to each other.
 
I lived on Coode St in WA. However, it was in South Perth. Nice area. My villa unit, built in 1987, went for $550,000 recently. Two bedrooms with a very small back court.

It's hard for me, where I live is a boring shithole but in the city when I'm there now I almost feel 'lost'. When I do stints working in Perth everybody is so incredibly nice but it feels like I don't fit in or belong or something. Even the kids they seem to like me but we have little in common unlike the little shits at home.

I've lived in the city for a long time before and enjoyed it maybe need to calm down and realise it will be an adjustment, but a good one.
 
Kram I kind of felt the same way when I moved to Perth in 1989. Part of the problem was the toffee-nosed school I taught at. Rich kids. Yecch. I also didn't feel at home. I didn't find the people as welcoming. Their attitude seemed to be that, boy, I was lucky to escape horrible Melbourne. I moved to Perth because I was pissed off at the Catholic Education Department, not the city. I knew after a month that I didn't want to stay there.

I learned an expensive lesson. Twice I've left Melbourne and twice I've come back, this time for good. I've never owned my own place. I've never really wanted to. That's why I'm now a poor.

74561347 the book about The Sopranos I have on reserve has now been at the "Being transferred between libraries" stage for like 2 weeks now. Would you have any idea wth is going on.

Is very frustrating, cause it was sitting at the library where I would pick it up from for a week, and the tool whose turn it was didnt get it. I could have ****en read and returned the thing by now.

I'm going in, in person, next weekend to return The Godfathers, should I ask them about it?

It means the book has been scanned at the sending library and is now being transferred to the receiving library. This can take a while for several reasons

1. Just because it says it is being transferred between libraries doesn't mean it's actually on its way. It could still be on a shelf to be dispatched from wherever its coming from and they haven't actually sent it yet.
Because of freight costs, a library will generally only send a full box to another library service rather than single items. So you have to wait until they have enough items to justify them sending it.
Items get sent in a box to another specific library service, you can't pack a box of stuff that's going all over the place so sometimes it takes time.

2. The interlibrary loan service only picks up from each library once a week now instead of daily. So they pick up, then it goes to central point in Melbourne, then next week it goes back out to the destination library, so can take 2 weeks if all goes well. If the sending library misses sending by 1 day, that can add another week to the process. 3 weeks for delivery is not uncommon.

They had to change because the old daily courier service was far too expense. To maintain that service, it's was something in the order of a 600% to 700% increase in costs, so compromises had to be made.

Unfortunately asking won't help, they have no idea either. When an item is scanned and it routes to the receiving library, it is 'in transit' on the system. When they receive it and scan it, it will be assigned to you. Between those two events, there is absolutely no way of telling where it is.

Sorry
