I think those complaining about the loss of public spaces are forgetting the fact that these spaces being for sale in the first place means they have most likely already closed their doors.

Would you rather someone re purposed the space into a home or business? Or bulldozed it to be replaced with a generic pop up building?

I'd be interested to hear of coloured stove tops available in Australia. All the ones I have found for sale have been in America.

Most uncomfortable nights sleep of my life have been on airbeds.

Last time my back seized, and I'm an active 27 year old with no joint problems. Since then I've decided that sleeping on the floor is better than an air mattress.

Put chilli powder on your window sills and porch.

The cats will learn pretty quickly where not to walk.

In a place that small I wouldn't plant anything in the ground. Keep it all potted, at least then you can move and re-arrange it as it suits your needs.

To be honest it looks like this has already happened before you bought the chair, and someone else had glued them back in before selling to you.

The house we are renting had wood panelling as one wall in each room. Our landlords instead of ripping it out painted it the same colour as the drywall and I'm glad they did. Now each room has a feature wall with a bit of character without having any heavy colours.

I seriously don't understand the general AT shame in having a TV permanently featured in their living room.

There are only two times I can think of that renting a storage place is worthwhile.

1) You are temporarily moving far away and will be back and need your things.
2) You are having issues selling large expensive items and need to store them in the mean time.

Otherwise it is just a waste of money and effort. If you don't need it where you live, you probably don't need it!

We live next door to either a community service house or government owned house.

When we moved in the woman was a single mother who was quiet, then we discovered everytime she got a boyfriend there would be all night screaming matches starting from midnight until 7am, and when she has a partner and they are getting along, they have people show up to smoke and talk outside their house all night long (because who needs to sleep at night when you don't have a job?).

Somewhere along the line the children seem to of been taken away from her which has made her worse, because now she doesn't have to worry about waking the kids up.

They also were left with a friends adult untrained dog at one point that they totally ignored and would constantly bark. I ended up setting the trigger hose up on the fence so any time it barked I'd run out and hose it down while yelling shut up. While you can't train awful neighbours, I trained their awful dog to shut up when I told it to.

After the awful experiences I've had with neighbours, I can't wait to buy a house on a big block and surround it with high fences and hedges so I don't ever need to interact with my neighbours.
