    Gratitude thread!

    My sister bought a little studio apartment, after being dejected because she missed out at an auction a couple of weeks ago. I’m happy for her :)

    I also had a lot to do at work today, so the time went by quickly.

        I can live without a dishwasher, oven, microwave, still don’t have a dryer, but the last thing I’d ever let go of is a washing machine. It’s a non-negotiable. life would be horrible without one

      I’m grateful for the roof over my family’s heads and for kids that enjoy spending time together. I’m actually rather grateful we’re not doing much this weekend as I need the rest. I’ll be watching the wrestling tomorrow with the kids and that’s about it. Physically I’m knackered, it’s been a tough week.

      I’m grateful I found the motivation to go to the shops and grab a few things I’ve been needing for like 2 weeks. Even if that motivation was mostly because ice cream

      Grateful for my oodie and my warm merino socks, and for this absolutely rich and delightful chocolate cake left over from morning tea at work. A lovely pick me up while painstakingly working through all my deductions…

    Help me hivemind: where have I hidden the double sided tape? It is not in the tape drawer (yes I have one of those)

    After jumping into the puffer jacket thread yesterday with a bold claim you need neither a big jacket nor a puffer…I succumbed today and am now one of the great Melbourne puffy community.

    My fav little local store was having a sale so I got a proper down one for half price so just a bit over a hundred. I have to admit I am very toasty warm

      Thank goodness all the chickens are OK. The platypus has a lot of splinters in its bill, and is even more ill tempered than usual.

    Sent off an email to the general manager to have a meeting face to face next week about the police check.

    I expect to lose the contract, but I still have a little hope that I won’t.

    Also I have a migraine😔

    Goodnight everyone ❤️

    Hampton red rooster is an absolute fucking shitshow. I ordered three items and they couldn’t get a single one right. Satisfryer was missing chicken, pineapple and drink (and chips were wrong size), popcorn chicken entirely absent (about which my cats are pissed ) and flayva was a bbq. Which i did not order.

    Straight to chargeback ya cunts.

      I’ve found more and more fast food, the people making it just don’t care. Even my local HSP place will put the cheese on top if I’m not in store to correct them during construction. These days I tend to only get hamburgers from maccas because they’re $2ea and simple, the still get stuffed up - sauce on the side, pickles falling out - it’s not hard, they’re the most simple burger.

    I feel guilty about spending money on self-care sort of things. My group training gym is kind of exxy, but from that, I have started to cook for myself and found a supportive community. I am likely starting piano lessons soon and I also wanna buy a guitar for fun? Then on top of wanting to travel and only having a small window to do so because of study, and everything necessary, it’s like should I just not do the music lessons, even though they will give me a sense of achievement and something else to do other than doomscroll all day?

    There’s the saving for a house part as well. I’m very lucky to still live with my parents.

    Existential crisis 💫

    (She gets half a roll of toilet paper for her nest every week after I clear away the old stuff. Thankfully, she just likes laying on it. No idea why)
