@gtwilson I’ve always dreaded this part too but this time for some reason it doesn’t seem so bad. Probably cause I have a methodical process about it all and not just chucking stuff in a box. Still have a few weeks to go before we move.
@phoneboy will have to try it the next time I’m over there. I’ve only ever had Texas BBQ.

So I’ve started to clean out my stuff in preparation for moving house in a few weeks. I’ve packed up all my gaming stuff and DVDs, prepared some things to put on evil-Bay and some things going to charity. Tomorrow I’ll keep going with it all.
@matigo I know right! Her voice is amazing, the costumes and wigs are awesome. Her stories were pretty funny too. She was telling the story of her 40th birthday and at the end of it she’s like ‘I’m not going to tell you my age, but I will ask this: what’s your granny doing tonight?’ and walked off with plenty of sass. Loved it. That’s another off the overall bucket list.
@phoneboy This reminded me of the Texas BBQ tour I did for my birthday while I was over there 5 years ago. Completely awesome.

@matigo I hope so too. Its been almost 10 months since I last worked. Plenty od ups and downs along the way but if this all goes through it’ll mean 12-18 months work. I’ll be happy with that.
So this is a public service announcement/rant so bear with me here.
I’ll start with the PSA first: this is a warning to everyone not to buy rugs from Kmart. I had a rug next to my bed to stop the carpet from getting stains from tea spills. It did the exact opposite - argh! It looks like the adhesive didn’t stick to the bottom of the rug properly and it stained the carpet, quite badly.
Over the last three weeks, this stain has been worked on with several different solutions (WD40, vinegar & bicarb, ammonia, urine remover, other carpet cleaners). Believe it or not the urine remover has worked the best, don’t ask me why. This stain has defeated us to the point where we had a “professional” carpet cleaner see what he could do about it.
So now onto the rant. It is now over 7.5 hours after he left here and the carpet in my bedroom still smells like a wet dog. I don’t know if he used anything to dry the carpet after he was done but my good holy god. Are you kidding me right now? I still can’t move any of my furniture back (not that I would now considering how late it is and I have no suitable lighting anyway). Just grrrr!
