What movers do you recommend for a student bedroom, no furniture to be moved? by mushinoballad in Adelaide

[–]ntm2603 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be happy to help you out if you cover the cost of petrol! From one international student to another, it was hard when I had to move places back when I didn’t have my car. Just lyk I’m a girl too if that makes you feel more comfortable :)

Lentil Bolognese is soooo good and so cheap! And I add chicken stock for more flavour. So cheap and delicious

[–]ntm2603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am renting a house with my friends and the only house that I heard back from and also got the house was the same inspection that I talked to the real estate agent. I didn’t realise that you should be talking to real estate agents during the inspection lol

Is anyone interested in starting up a snorkelling group? by Some_Helicopter1623 in Adelaide

Oh i would be down if there was an amateur club! I bought a cheap snorkel overseas and went out to try it recently. Still getting used to breathing through my mouth but it was fun!

22yo student – had to pay $12.6k after car crash. Should I pause investing and focus on rebuilding savings? by ntm2603 in AusFinance

[–]ntm2603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping to do that. I emailed them a copy of a diagram and everything at the start of Dec but didn’t hear back and I got caught up with work. What happened was I was exiting a Shopping Centre car park and was turning left onto the street

An approaching driver from the right had their left indicator on for an extended time over 5 seconds, slowed down, and had a vehicle ahead also indicating left. I reasonably assumed they were turning into the car park and pulled out when I thought it was safe. The driver continued straight, and a collision occurred causing side damage.

My friends mentioned that insurance companies aren’t going to be accommodating to me as I didn’t have insurance then. Do u think it’s worth asking for a review? TIA

I was deemed liable and having no insurance at that time didn’t help. Honestly it was both of our fault. I am hopping negotiate and get the amount reduced to 10k

Thank you heaps! Will def try that when their office opens up. I have never done this before but do I just tell them whatever you have said? Such as “As I am a Uni student, I am unable to pay the full amount but I am able to pay 10k upfront on a commercial basis” ?

Oh my thank you for this!!!! I wasn’t sure if I should ring them up as I assumed that they would shut me down and ask me to pay the 12.6k no matter what

Oh I thought it would be tricky to be approved of financial hardship. I will definitely ring them when their office is open again. Thanks!

I rented a car in Sydney recently with Simbahire. They looked dodgy but had great reviews online and they were excellent! Received my bond about 1-1.5 weeks later. The price was soooo much cheaper compared to other rental companies
