How,

Well it's done. House sold about two hours ago and fully paid. Agent has money and will hold untill the day I am ready to go. I have two weeks to move on out. I have also agreed that if I am ready earlier I will let them know and they will transfer money to me.

The house has been sold furnished to a lovely lady and I know her daughter as I worked with her.

Only one thing left now, get the new Den and it's on the move anyway so all good.

I am one happy camper and I tell you that for free. A busy camper for a while clearing out my stuff though. The buyer has asked me to leave what I don't want as she has nothing. She has split from her husband and living in a pocky room at a friends place. So works well for both of us.

BRING ON THE PLAYGROUND. 

Oh! The twins are very exited as well biggrin

How,

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. My head is spinning around and around tonight. I wanted a reasonably quick sale but really didn't think it would be this quick. To sell fully furnished has been a bonus too. I really didn't think that would happen. Infact I was that unsure about how quick I agreed on a February delivery date for the new Den. I rang them late this afternoon to see if delivery could come forward and they sounded very possitive and will get back to me.

No big drama as I still have the Avan anyway and am very comfy in that but would like to have something bigger so will keep the fingers crossed.

Bob, the twins stay mate.

Frank, they don't need an excuse to go skinny dipping mate. Gee, things have been that hectic around here I just remembered they are still down "the" beach. Better go and get them.

So I will have a new address within two weeks for anyone interested.....AUSTRALIA.

That's amazingly fast.

I have envy now, enjoy the freedom must be a very liberating feeling shaking off an asset like a house. Though some say a house is a liability.

We are still renovating this joint and plan to flick it soon to fund the gypsy life.

Wow good on you Doug.

How,

No problem, I will drag the sleeping bag out and find the nearest bridge and sleep under that.

Actually, the twins and I can just sleep down at "The" beach. We won't need jamas there smile

How,

I do want to sell the Avan Ken but not until I get the "Chief". I need something to Stay in until then. So if you hear of anyone that wants a small Avan Camper set up fully for free camping yell out mate.

Hey Dougwe .

Well Done, hope you got the price you were after..

Well If you have to move out in 2 weeks get the stuff that you want to transfer to the Van, or storage and get your but up to greens and maybe you can be the greeter for all the nomads heading up..

I'm Looking at maybe a cup Weekend trip...

Before the Xmas Period..

I don't know you that well yet Doug...
but I'm a little bit jealous.!!
Just think, Mate...no more Emergency Services levy....no more electicity bills, no more gas bill...
no more water bills...no more council rates....no more home and contents insurance....
you bloody beauty !!...and don't lose any sleep about being homeless....
...if the boys in blue fine you for anything...
...or that over enthusiastic council worker who thinks he's a Gestapo agent, can't fine you for staying in his precious little patch,
bc there's no address to send the bill...hahahaha !!!
