@Centrelink is 4 months a normal amount of time to wait for a claim to be processed? 3 months have passed since estimated completion date. No outstanding tasks, can’t get through. Office staff can’t help

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

@Centrelink hi, just wondering how long claims are meant to take. It’s been 4 months since I submitted and 3 since the estimated completion date. Could really use a little $

country life is not bad.

@snarkywench On purpose?

Picture of “vicious” culprit

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

My crazy new neighbour who comes flying out and abusing us if I put on our porch light - complained about our “vicious dogs”. Ranger took one look and started laughing.

@LindaWhitby01 This is Celeste. Adopted a week and a half ago from a rescue. Happy purry thing.

New kitten loves books. I think she came to the right house.
Great spot for afternoon naps.

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

When your husband gets stuck overseas for further weeks the only logical solution is to panic buy another kitten.

@WilliamsAndrewP Just atrocious really. I’ve had no reply so I guess i’ll wait for the VCAT hearing they have initiated

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

Think buying a house and moving to the country means no more landlord woes? Think again. 29 days after our lease ended they are now trying to claim our bond. Over some scratches on a door.

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

@AnujaCabraal Thanks. I have my grumpy self righteous hat on today so the agent did not know what hit her when I refused to agree to pay for a new door and said i’d like to take it to VCAT. In addition I will be making a compensation claim on my time, furniture loss, disposal etc.

Meanwhile the 100s of hours we spent cleaning the flood? So much for quiet enjoyment! “It’s not the owners fault” but also “he won’t be fixing it, if you don’t like it leave” in the middle of a lockdown - a family of 5

“SOme damage from your pet requires a whole new door” the damage

Skies after the storm. #countrylyfe

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

Stormy old afternoon in the country. So glorious after a hot week.

[Katie Wiese @happylibrarykat]

I have moved to the sticks and it's been great but I've a little culture shock. Must remember that the local supermarket closes at 1pm on the weekend. Also I am without internet until next week.

@wadekelly @latrobe Best of luck Wade! Was lovely to work with you.
