I have successfully convinced my daughter to move back to Melbourne.

And what sold her on it was Slurpees. I was telling her how good they are and now she wants to move back.

does this mean your coming back too?

[โ€“] danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I am starting to make plans and will hopefully move back around the start of 2026.

Oh cool. Let us know if you want some fires set in some suburbs to reduce property prices. Though I somehow doubt that'll help much. I cant even afford Paky these days!

I could buy the burnt out shell of a house....

Who am I kidding, couldn't even afford that.

You joke, but a burnt out shell just went for 400k out my way. It is INSNANE.

If it has a working dishwasher I'll buy it. It's been 7 long years of handwashing dishes.
