Moving into a flat....
if i lived with lazy flatmates id move or get rid of them (if i was head tennant) moving house sux so id get rid of them. with the right advertising, trademe local paper etc its reasonably easy to find someone. and if you are the head tennant you have the option of choosing who gets the room(s). state the rules so to speak as you show the person round the house so they know what to expect. alot of people lie at this stage so sometimes hard to tell if someone is telling the truth or have a flat meeting and voice your concern, with everyone else there may have some luck nothings worse than coming home from a stressful day at work to a stressful home

what to look for in a 4 foot light and bulb
ahh yes i see what you mean, similar to my blown light atm, it has a plastic guard on bottom of reflectors. what sort of price can i expect to pay for a single or double 4 foot light unit? the 2 foot single one was enough for me, im expecting a 4 foot single will suit me perfectly as the 2 foot light did not cover all the tank (obviously)

Moving house and moving tanks !!!!!!
when moing tanks with water in it i found water sloshes around ALOT, not sure but i assume would stress the fish out alot. i placed a towel on top of tank and then lid on top of that if possible, helped reduce some of the water going everywhere

what to look for in a 4 foot light and bulb
wasnt sure where this should go My 2 foot light blew yesterday, it was lighting for my 4 foot tank, i know wasnt really ideal but enabled me to see me fish, i have no plants or anything All i want is a basic 4 foot light that will sit on top of tank (it has a lid) anything anyone can recomend, how much can i expect to pay. the cheaper the better obiously, second hand is fine as long as it works

will be very impressive thats what i would like to have, already under 900kg with all accessories and interior etc, however 300 hp is a bit of an ask from a 1300 motor almost 20 years old (is doable tho) just dont think its worth the cost, ill be happy with 200-250 horse at wheels from my setup

Im open to grudge matches :lol: ive never been on a track before so will be big learning experience for me and never been able to test my new setup properly, so long as car is legal in time i will be there racing i give hondas alot of flack but only for a laugh and friendly competition

Anyone got any fundraising ideas?
do a budget of your money that comes in against all your outgoings and cut back on all nessecities. what skills do you have, i used to do weekend relief milking and plucking possums for extra cash, can make good money if your prepared to work for it im on a good pay yet i was still broke a couple days after payday, done a budget and realised how much i was wasting. as wasting hundreds of my pay on alcohol, takeaways, and well....stuff. have woken up and in the last months have saved ALOT of money and have got my african tank setup full of fish and what not, am alot healthier and my good car is almost ready to go can even stop indulging in your hobbies etc
