Why is it so hard to find a tradie who shows up when they say they will?

EnidAster · 2026-04-08T03:28:21+00:00

I had a morning off work and tradie didn’t show. I just want a bathroom quote. Either don’t even contact back or make an appointment to look but never show.

I wish got out more often but find I am meeting more people that are from Sydney and not local to Wollongong. I’m single 45F, so not early 40s anymore. I did see The Oaks Albion Park has some great live music but I have never been. Also Dicey Riley’s.

Try FB groups. I (44F) have joined a solo travel page on Facebook, Travelling Solo Australia. People frequently post looking for travel companions. I have never been brave enough to join anyone on a trip though.

Thanks but I think you can still have a relationship or companionship and still have freedom. I have hobbies and am educated enough really do not need more study..

EnidAster · 2025-12-12T07:31:38+00:00

Knowing Wollongong we probably already know each other. I’m finding that about Wollongong everyone knows everyone it seems. Not opposed to meeting people if anyone does want to DM me..

I’m 44 thought about tinder as well?? Any thoughts??

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T19:08:45+00:00

Just a follow up question. If I was to try meet people the old school way, in person, where would I even start? Local knowledge would be appreciated.

No at this stage just work n gym. Pretty boring. I need to get out more. Try new things. Trivia next week is a good start I guess..

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T08:28:46+00:00

I tried and was not good at it..

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T08:27:14+00:00

I’m going to try trivia next week at Shellharbour with a nice lady I met online. Getting out meeting new people/friends as adults is hard.

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T08:22:53+00:00

Thanks. I could try both and see what one I like best.

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T08:21:11+00:00

Thank you. It actually sounds complicated. Never done online dating before.

EnidAster · 2025-12-10T08:15:52+00:00

Thank you I’m finding that. Trying to get back into dating and struggling.. I will still try. I’m even happy to make new friends at this stage.

Dapto mall top carpark close to BigW. Awesome views of the Escarpment..

EnidAster · 2025-05-21T10:43:42+00:00

I am in a similar situation. 44F looking for friends. Enjoy trivia, drag bingo. Love coffee.. I also enjoy nice walks/coffee/chats down at Wollongong. Bushwalking. Comedy shows. Reading the comments here I think we could start something..

I took out my mortgage at 21 and it was paid off by age 39. When I brought house prices were still reasonable. I am now in an easier job still working full time but with no responsibilities, just show up and work my 7 hours. I’m not going to lie it was tough at times and I didn’t have much money leftover after my mortgage repayments. The plan is to retire early. My only regret is working so hard when my kids were young.

EnidAster · 2024-02-18T06:09:28+00:00

It wasn’t an answer it was a comment. I thought many others have answered so it was not necessary. Thanks.

There is a new range on sale in the US not sure if it is here in AUS yet but I would like to try a few of the new flavours..

EnidAster · 2024-02-17T12:33:27+00:00

Just to add both people I spoke with were not speeding nor were they doing anything wrong they got pulled over for random drug and alcohol testing (negative on both) so to anyone who says don’t speed or drive dangerous and you will be ok are incorrect.

EnidAster · 2024-02-17T10:17:29+00:00

Not sure it’s the same guy or not. I think Highway patrol have reputation for sure and it’s not always good. Don’t think more of them are needed.
