I think we can all relate to 'times' in life turning sour. Hey, it happens. Life happens. So be it. As the old saying goes,
"If life gives you lemons,
make lemonade."
Good advice. And so 44 year-old Ian Usher, a British immigrant to Australia, is following said advice. Seems he and his "ex" have had such a falling out that he is ready to walk away from it all. Literally and figuratively.
After it sells on eBay, of course.
Yep, a quality "Fried Fridays" contender, this one. When all else fails, put your home, car, possessions, friends, and even your job up for sale on the Mecca of sales sites, eBay. Yes, you read it right: even friends and a job can be up for sale, kinda sorta.
Of course, it takes a buyer for the whole kit and kaboodle. Starting June 22, you could bid to step into Ian's shoes and pay to:
1) own his rather pricey 3 BR home in Perth, AU
2) own his car and toodle around Down Under,
3) own his jet ski and let the wind blow through your hair (just avoid those monster brack-water crocs near Darwin),
4) own his parachuting gear (which is guarnateed to be "good to the last drop")
5) be able to apply for his carpet job
6) be guaranteed an initial meeting with all of his friends
Yep, you'll be able to try out for his job, an idea that his employer has even signed off on. That is, if you like wall-to-wall carpeting. Joy Jones Rugs, the employer, is offering the successful bidder a two-week trial run...things go well, you can extend it for three months..and if things go super well, you can make it a permanent position, all things falling into place.

"On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all," Usher says. For him, everything seems to have a memory and attachment to his wife of 5 years, even though they've been apart for a year, now. For him, it's just too much to bear.
"It's time to shed the old, and in with the new," according to Ian.
Happy New Year in advance, Mate.
