homeless

Now i have managed to find myself without a home. I guess that makes me homeless. I have never been in this situation before, well not on this scale; it can be quite traumatic.

One Friday morning I received a phone call from my real estate agent asking me if I had moved out yet. Well, actually, I hadn't. I had no where to go and no money to get anywhere. The bailiff was on his way. I was on my way to the Residential Tribunal Office and to the District Court. Oh dear.

I lodged an appeal with the District Court and spent the afternoon waiting for a time or date to be set for my appeal to be heard. 

Finally I was heard at 4.30 and by five o'clock it was all over. I lost; I was locked out of my house with all of my possessions and I literallyhad nowhere to go. All I had was the clothes I was wearing. My phone battery was flat. What on earth was I going to do?

I climbed in the window and began to pack up my computers. The agent was going to allow me access from nine in the morning til five that afternoon - and again on Sunday. Then I had to be gone. 

just throw it onto the street

My son, Tim, organised to stay with some friends down at Port Adelaide. Tim organised a truck, but first he had to get it emptied which took most of the day. Eric would bring it around on Sunday morning.

Early in the morning I got up and was waiting on the front doorstep for the agent to arrive to open up and allow me access to get my possessions out. She was accompanied by the police. I'm not sure why.

"Just throw it all out into the street as quickly as I can" - seemed to be the advice coming from the police officer. I certainly was not going to do that. Although just about everything I had put out there in the past few days had disappeared.

I moved the lounge suite onto the street. That could go; it badly needed recovering. In due course I put half of my kitchen out onto the street. Plates, cups, glasses, crockery, dishware, all of my saucepans. Food; everything from the freezer. I couldn't believe this. I had to throw food away.

Keep packing. We could do with some boxes

About

Designed by Christopher Robinson of EDG3.

This template was just a concept I decided to play around with firstly, then I threw it into the mix at openwebdesign.org and asked for opinions. I started this template quite grey (once again) but it got suggested to use earthy colors, so here's my attempt at something completely new for me, with random new colors which I have not really used before!

Hope its turned out well anyway.. not sure what you could use for but maybe having the images down one side and text on the other may give you some idea's, maybe someone finds a use for it.

This design only uses two main images, the first is the logo image, and the second is the main central column. Feel free to contact me if you use this design as its always nice to see them in use and see what people have changed in it.

Fancy a List?

Well here's one anyway..

• red
• blue
• green
