The procrastinators will answer this soon- when they get around to it [laughing]

Pisces,

As for me, I can suffer from procrastination, but I find when I *have* to do something, that is a great motivator. For example, when I have a project to do at work, and it HAS to be done, then I just do it! But too many choices bring out the procrastinator in me I am better off when I have no choice. So, for example, some people are told…[Read more]

OK- I got a quote of 5k. I hope they use gilt-edged paint for that

Well, some may like arm wrestles… but I am a big wuss at that Chan… In my family, during a particularly slow time in a holiday season…

My mum beat me…

My gf beat my mum…

My sis beat my gf…

My bro beat us all up!

Naaa- my bro beat my sis!

So I got beaten by a 70 year old!! [cigar]

Hence, I couldn’t have a cat fight with a girl, a…[Read more]

Jan, some of us will continue to express our opinions despite the abuse of others- no worries. [rambo2] I pick my times though. Sometimes, people try and lure, but I just can’t be bothered buying into their anger [thumbsdownanim

Noooo Chan! Saying you are provocative was in relation to this:

Chan said:

“I love to see girls fight. Come on gals have another go at each other…LoL”

Chan, I find you in no way irritating or annoying :o)) Another term for being provocative is to “egg people on”. It was just a term I used playfully *hugs*

It’s ok, Derek- I ain’t much of a lady, so your wife wouldn’t mind!! [happy3] Wives like me as a rule :o)

kay henry

Good idea, Mysta- re Choice Mag- I always thought that was a good mag!

I’d better stop replying to each answer- looks like I’m doing the geo-geo [goatee]

kay henry

hey Derek…

If you find painting therapeutic… and are looking for subjects to delve into their mind and be their conscience… we could have a win/win thing happening here…

If you paint my house, I will let you be my conscience [biggrin] what say you, Mr Derek??

kay henry

Thanks Mysta! [strum] What would hgappen if I got sucked into the no-name paint? Would it fall off? I have no idea about reno stuff, so it’s all new to me

kay henry

hehe Chan, oh provocative one [fez] You’re being as provocative as Celivia (she’s always looking for a fight!) [jerry] hehe. Always picking on people. hehe- only joshing, Cel [king]

Rachel, waddya do at home with the kids? Read books? Watch [jerry]? Go [ohno2]?

Maybe a few of the at-home parents could have a PI daycare. You could take turns and…[Read more]

Thanks, Russ I’ll be getting a pro housepainter to paint for me. I wonder if anyone knows how much it might cost for paint plus labour? Start to finish, including cleaning walls etc.

kay henry

No.

Thought I’d repost a reply I put elsewhere- seems this topic has come up under 3 separate headings in a few days.

Derek and HousesOnly- I know what you mean about going for growth, but as I’ve stated, buying in a small place- if it’s the right kind of town- can have huge growth prospects.

I said elsewhere:

Depends on wehich properties one is…[Read more]

Scremin…

Rachel asked a question… you answered it in your way, and I answered it in mine. And why are you needing Rugby and Chan to “back you up”? They are my mates too, Scremin, so I doubt they’ll play little gang up games for your amusement.

No need to be hostile if you answer a question and another person has a different perspective than…[Read more]

Well, pocket, you did ask other people’s thoughts, even though you seem to have your mind set. If you were hoping for people to agree with you, then you have got what you were hoping for, mostly.

Your initial post mentioned nothing of your extra costs, and just mentioned you wanting her to split her stamp duty rebate.

kay henry

Bec just stated her opinion, as many others do, and she got banned, Rachel.

kay henry

eeeeeeeeek! wayne- you’re right!! [blush2]

kay henry

5 units @ 80k each seems prety good- PARTICULARLY if they are on the beach!

Bear in mind, that 40k return is 5% yield on 400k. Are the units strata titled? Are you into reno’s?

Re your last question, if you see something you consider a good deal, why not go for it? 400k is a reasonable investment for 5 properties

kay henry

Becoming my conscience, Derek? I DARE ya! When you have finished messing with my conscience, will I look like this? [eh] or this? [exhappy]

And I am supposed to come home and not watch crap TV?? What *else* is there to do? Or am I missing out on one of life’s secrets? I do meaningful work for a living. Whn I come home, I wanna be like this:…[Read more]
