^ You will - the Family Court website is really helpful and there are heaps of FAQs and Guides! You are in front already having the letter from DHHS - we had to deal with a Legal Aid lawyer who turned up to represent the mother who didn't work so free gratis for her ( she never came ) but we still got through it ok with no lawyer - my brothers works!

Got a bloke outside installing the new headunit in the Crewman. Touchscreen radio/CD player with bluetooth so I can use the phone through it. Getting it done a day earlier than planned.
The guys name is Yusuf, so if you see on the news a story about a white crewman ute exploding and multiple people being taken out by fragments of burning mullet, you'll know he installed more than the head unit.
Joking.
He's clearly a subbie for the install mob, rocks up in a nice looking VW passat rather than a tradie van or ute and has the boot full of tools and parts

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

New head unit works brilliant, including the bluetooth hands free for the phone.
Got a call while I was out driving to pick up the weathershield I bought from the dealer, I'll put that on when it's less freezing outside.

South Melbourne markets!
Wow, what a great set up. I love oysters and getting them so fresh and cheap then smashing them on the spot in the munch out area was awesome!
Fish so cheap!!! We pay $60-$80/kg for Red Emporer in Perth.... $40 here!!! Even King George whitting fillets are only $52/kg... crazy!

Really proud of my kids. The youngest completed exams for the first trimester second year for the JD which is full time while working 2 days a week a little while ago. She said it was a tough period and thought she fluffed an exam in advanced property law: she said it was hardest exam she’s ever done and was really distressed after it; she could intellectualize that it wasn’t the end of the world but she’s so committed to it and works so hard it was hard for her to get a perspective.
Anyway, time passed, she’d already arranged to take a week off & went to blob out in Thailand with a girlfriend for a week of R and R when she got the news this morning she topped her cohort! Teacher wants to use her paper as an exemplar of how to go about things...
Friggin amazing: she’s so stoked. Well done her.

Good on her WPT, must get the work ethic from her mum.
My contract at work finishes tomorrow, I've been asking for a couple of weeks what's happening cos I was supposed to be getting a new one for 12-18 months to go work on an IT project. Caught up with the woman I'd be working for Monday, she apologised as there'd been a few changes since I got that verbal offer and some uncertainty so no one was prepared to authorise the contract.
Long story short, I got a new one today for another 3 months, start on the project Monday (NFI what I'm doing, the PD is hieroglyphics), got a meeting with the ED of the project on Monday to discuss my role.
I've really enjoyed the last 2 months working in the IR/Case management area. . One of the guys in the team, a recovering Lawyer in his own words, commented today that it was obvious I'd done this before as after a few days I'd taken to it like a duck to water. I countered with, "more like a pig to mud"
Anyway, I like the joint and I feel valued by the people I've worked and interacted with and got my confidence back. New chapter and challenges come Monday and 3 more months of employment. Plus I got a new work laptop today, very schmick.

Well done Stui, I’m sure you deserve it.
It’s nice to read about every one kicking goals instead of doom and gloom!
Me, I’m kicking myself for missing tonight’s sunset after seeing everyone’s pics in Facebook, but we left home at 6 got home at 4.30, it’s been an exhausting couple of weeks, junior dished up spag bol, I think hubby is upstairs asleep, and I veggied on the couch catching up on taped Foxtel stuff, but
We have walls! I actually got teary when I saw them this morning! Looks amazing, you don’t know if your design is any good til the walls are in! It’s awesome!
On the way home hubby says next time we won’t build so far away. Next time? God no, no next time I’m toasted!
Cheers hope every one else had a great week too! Bath time!
