well, no money coming in is disappointing , just would have been a huge task with everything on me , i pay for travel to WA fm SA I pay for my own accom. and drive myself to work in my car. and they give me 40hrs a week for a few months. it had me going for a while, was trying to fish whether they needed a medical, cos cannot pass one atm tbh but they just kept giving vague answers while repeating requests for me to confirm I would do it.
if they had then said need a medical, then i would have been stuck with a few weeks accom to pay for incl weeks notice to cancel and round trip to WA, say could have been out of pocket $3k all risk and No Reward. rate was good, hours average. they could have paid for my accom and it would have made sense @Zoe7

Hi @Shaz51 We had Peachfaces in our Aviary when I was in my teens.
They never bit me when I handled them.
Just a few weeks ago I bought new Peachfaces, as well as the Fischers.

yes, buying a job I used to call it @Zoe7 would have ended up better off but too much outlay and its all upfront, plus what if they had said, oh we need a new medical and I could not pass it ? and had already spent the money. just me chasing shadows.. Thanks

Yeah sounds super dodgy to me @TAB and very much geared to their needs and not yours. Glad you turned it down. How are you for funds in the meantime? I know so many struggling so much at present and it seems like thoings are only going to get worse. I am not sure how I am going to keep up myself.
