    rach rolleston to emerald is 138klms away from each other and the cheapest house in emerald that allows animals is $490 a week

    zilzie is $350 aweek brand new and animals are fine to have in yard.

    totally agree.....stupid family lol

    oh so he;s not actually in Springsure..ok that makes sense

    wow thats a bargain for zilzie, maybe you'll have to go to zilzie did you say you have freinds there ?? at least he isn't 7 hrs away so in reality you will have 6 of the 7 days off together rather than 4 or 5

    lol thats ok rach your not nosey i love the fact that you care so much xx

    yeah nathan is working at rolleston and i was going to rent in springsure as its only like a 10/20 min drive

    Yeah i have friends all around rocky, yeppoon, zilzie, calliope area so i can always keep busy on his days away! unlike here....i am very very very much alone and have no one to talk to plus like you said. its a whole lot closer to where he is working, plus being that close we are saving so much! plus that would have to work in my favor when a house does come available in springsure to rent.

    I dont really want to buy a house yet as nathan has only just gone onto full time, he has been a contrator for so long. would rather wait a year or two until he has been in his job for awhile IYKWIM?

    thanks heaps rach for all your help today and to everyone else, it means alot xxx

    HI MUMMY2CHLOE
    I am going to reply before I read everyone elses thoughts, so maybe this is nothing new. This is what I would do:

    I would want to be together as a family. And with a 7 days on 7 days off roster, living in really cheap rent...what is stoipping you from going to the beach during his 7 days off...even camping by the beach is fun? Obviously not every week off, but some weeks off, you might be able to go somewhere else as a family.

    And the small school sounds like great opportunity...you would soon meet others.. And because you are renting...if it doesn't work out you can always move to the beach later....

    now I have read the thread: oh maaaan! bummer...i hope you can find a place soon. I am not familiarvwith the area, so can't help with ideas or knowing people who might be renting...

    all the best

    Hi sweets!!

    I have been on whereis.com.au and realestate.com.au to try to help you find something!!!

    I am so sorry you can't find anything!! Maybe in Zilzie try to find a 6mth lease?

    I wish I had some magical answer or I owned a house you could rent..

    Good luck!!

    Thanks heaps everyone you all rock!!!

    BUT it seems this nightmare just keeps getting better

    The fella we had lined up to drive the truck that we are going to hire.......cant do it anymore and we have no one else that can drive it for us
    why does it have to be so bloody hard!!
    renting a truck was the cheaper way of doing it cos money is seriously tight and now i have no idea what we are going to do?! its way to expensive to get removalists in and dh cant drive the truck cos he doesnt have a MR or HR license.


    nothing is every simple or easy is it!

    plus on a complete different note.....i still have 2 mini foxies for sale and NO ONE wants them if they dont sell in the next 6 days i have to fork out MORE money to get there 2nd vaccinations

    I GIVE UP!!!!
