a bit of a search

Without enough work to do today, and stuff I want to do at work tomorrow, I'm taking my rdo now.

I'm going to go shopping for fabric for my tudor frock ( I love Brunswick) and then I'm coming home to do the sewing of my corset I didn't get to do on the w/e.

Richmond houses - $310-360, including one very close to me: http://www.domain.com.au/listing.aspx?mode=rent&id=3620640

doushkasmum type accomodation - rent = $150

splodgenoodles type accommodation = $260, I think.

total rental money available = $720

so we need to find places at $240 ish.

Yes, me too.

I htink the good think about mrsbrown's work here is that it's made us all realise we need to talk about other things.



Exit plans from the scheme are essential - let's face it: what's the likelihood of 6 adults wanting to stay in the one place indefinitely? And having the same space requirements in 10 years time? There's a zillion reasons - nice ones and sad ones - as to why people might want out at a given time.


I reckon, about 75% of the time, I'm happy *not* being communal. That could change if we did this. I'd either spend time trying to push everyone away because I would feel you were all impinging on my marriage and on me, or I might find I kinda like it...I'm not sure.

It would be awkward for this relationship if one was more keen on socialising than the other. (ie tenbears and I)

What I tend to imagine working best is essentially a nieghbourly thing, but with certain shared facilities...I guess the question is how much shared stuff...and how we organise it...how we solve disagreemnts...and other stuff too still...

The stuff about children - I suspect that would have to be an additional arrangement between the relevant parties (and it's certianly still only a vague possibility over here).

I'm glad you replied.

sjkasabi and doushkasmum's posts got me pretty down yesterday. I hate having my idealism tromped on.

There's nothing like somebody doing something concrete to make everyone realise we need to sort out the abstract...

Sorry for getting you down. I wasn't trying to tromp on your idealism. Just pointing out that if you want the scheme to work it has to have more than idealism, and it has to have ideals everyone involved is happy to subscribe to. Which is boringly practical, I suppose, but I meant it to be a constructive response. Let's take the idea seriously and think it through.
