We went to that Auction of they creepy house. Even after inspecting it the second time- still creepy.
The house was sold for $435,000. Personally i think it’s overpriced considering there’s so much work to be done.
Lots of people rocked up all believing they were going to get a bargain. No bargain here. The bank got what they wanted (the price paid was the reserve).
On a totally different thing altogether.
Not sure how many of you feel the same but lately I don’t feel like Melbourne is as safe as it used to be. I mean I’ve been aware of the crimes but after the few incidents -terrible crimes against women- 1st being the disappearance of Jill Meagher which then turned out to be a rape/murder and then the latest of this girl from Bacchus Marsh who disappeared and turned out dead a few days later.
Seriously… how is a girl to feel secure when.. who knows what weirdo is lurking about.
I don’t like being alone at all, even when I’m finishing up at the swimming pools and leaving at 9. It worries me.
But I really can’t stay indoors all the time, and it bothers me that based on a few idiots out there, they have somehow starting to change my habits and feelings about things in general. But what am I really to do?
I know I’m more cautious now and act differently then I did before (most of it is good) for example:
-whenever i walk to the car, prior to even getting there. I ensure that I have the car keys in my hand from the venue to the car.I don’t want to be distracted by looking for my car keys and not realize that there’s some douchebag.
-no matter where I’m going, I always let someone know where I’m going, when I get there and when I plan to leave. Usually I let someone know (usually the fiance) that I have arrived at the destination safely.
- i never park my car in some dark dingy corner of a car park and always park under street light (even if it means the birds use my car like a public toilet)
-will pay the extra to park at secure car park then some random off street parking.
-always locking my car doors the moment i get in
some things ive been doing way before i started to feel insecure… somethings (like having car keys ready)- have taken some time to change as a habit.
what have u done differently?
