Ok, I'm home, finally it only took two attempts!
Bath- The only reason I got upset was because she had absolutely no right to send me that letter in the fashion she did anyway. I had already made a formal point that if that house had become free then we would not even attempt to move in there because it would be illegal. When I told the department this in the first place they told me that I was doing the right thing by telling them.I thank you for your comments!
Now the point about the Police..And I'm asking everyone here! How would you like it if when you are just sitting in your backyard just relaxing, the police rock up, pull a piece of your back fence out and just walk into your backyard?
About rent receipts, we aren't paying my aunts rent. Thats why they can't provide rent receipts. I know you are trying to help and thats why I'm trying to explain.
Now for my HAPPY NEWS!
Today at about 10 to 11 my cousin had a beautiful baby boy by the name of JACOB ANTHONY. He weighed 6lb 15 oz and they are now relaxing as a family
at home.
ETA: I forgot to mention we received a letter today from the Department. We have been approved for Early Housing as of last Friday the day after that letter arrived courtesy of the Police.

Jess - congrats to your cousin! It must be a relief for you all. Great news about the housing. It's sickening, too, that police in small towns think they can get away with anything because it's sort of a closed shop. Other local police will obviously take their side and no-one's going to action any sort of complaint, it seems. Really, like Bath said, you're pushing ***** uphill to try to fight back the way that they fight, so the best way for your family is to cop it sweet (no pun intended!). They can only make your life difficult and you will have no impact on them except to give them something to do when they are bored! But, really, it's good news on the housing front
I just scored some more eBay nappies - they are in Lakes Entrance and my mum can pick them up, so save on postage! Might just get a pack of coloureds and then we'll be set for NZ and then just leave them for my sister.
The smoke has come in again - can the rest of you Melb girls smell it again yet? It just came in tonight.
Oscar is being too cute, WAYYYYYY too cute - how am I going to survive the years until he's a horrible teenager? And what if he never becomes a horrible one, just a great one like my cousins in Ireland? I am going to suffer a death by gushing! My death notice will read "Gushed to Death"...I'm a goner!
Mel - I'm just finalising some paperwork to send to uni - according to the new rules I have automatically been scheduled for exclusion! But I spoke to someone who said to send in my intermission letter and Oscar's birth cert and they'd waive it. Sound okay to you? I have to send it off this week, as it has to be in by Jan 4 or something...I won't be here.
ok,off again!
Jess - great news about housing! Well done, you'll be in your new place in no time (hopefully!). Congrats to your cousin too, what a lovely xmas present.
IK - did they say why they excluded you (did they discontinue you?)? Usually after intermission, if you do not re-enrol, we normally notify you by email or phone to confirm if you intend to come back as many don't. The cut-off date for re-enrolment is usually early Dec and they should have sent you a letter saying so and giving you the opportunity to get it all done. Letters are sent in October. Maybe they forgot about you. The late fee last year was $97 so it would be good if they waive it. I am going into work tomorrow, so I will check it for you and see what the system says your status is. If you talk to Susan, she should get it done for you. The uni closes tomorrow at 5pm until early Jan, so nothing will get done with it until then but make sure you send it so she has it when she returns - maybe email her aswell to tell her its coming. Can't smell smoke yet, but it has gotten a bit chilly outside. Lets hope none of our babies turn into "horrible" teenagers. I know what you mean by gushing - both my girls make me gush on a daily basis. Tonight Chelsea just came over and gave me a cuddle (a squeeze as she calls it!) and when I asked her why she was giving me squeezes, she said "cause I love you!". She is beautiful! Marley seems OK after needles, just very tired.
Have to cook a slice for tomorrows lunch, but will do it in the morning! Nearly bedtime.
Thanks Mel! I just emailed Susan, so I'll check all morning for her reply. They said it was an automatic thing for having discontinued after the HECS cut off date, but that it would be waived when they have a copy of my intermission letter and Oscar's cert. I have already re-enrolled for Sem 1, so I hope this is all academic (so to speak!) cos I don't want to have to sort things out from NZ! Anyway, I trust that it will sort itself out - Gill at exclusions told me that it should all be ok, when I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago and that it was a result of a rule change earlier in the year.
Ok, I've used up my credits with DP - told him I needed to send an important email (he tried to scoff but then I explained, then I was told off for leaving it so late, but I told him I hadn't, I just needed to check to make sure I was right!) and he's struggling with the boy...who he is supposed to be showering with now, but he's been on the computer...
Catch you all tomorrow!!
