Pretty sure this is cheating
certainly has the cheat code for looking cute
Pizza for cat?
I recognise the ref, I’ve never watched it
Is that a purrito?
Tomorrow’s thread posted! I think I got the date right this time :)
Goodnight all.
Edit: realised Seagoon made one 8 minutes after me with pizza emojis. I like the pizza emojis better :P
Appreciated. I love people who step up.
I came at 12.01 and saw there was already a thread
Been a day. Deep breath.
You got this! You are capable, kind, and it’ll be okay. Because you are amazing 💜
thank you studspud :)
Wow it’s like I’m seeing double 😂
This is my favourite doggy pose
Straight after his stretch he runs into the kid’s room, jumps on her and runs out. 😂
I’m getting Moulin Rouge vibes from this photo
Naaaaaaaw
Oh my goodness he’s just so adorable.
a very happy boi 🐶
there is nothing more delicious than someone else organising and cooking dinner and that pizza looks especially delicious
I just had a shake for dinner and a bit of fruit and that’s ok , took 5 minutes
the amount of time I normally spend cooking is too much
Pizza for you, pizza for me.
Pizza for Rusty, Pizza for all!
🍕
Chaotic evil are you?
That looks beautiful!
Entered the new place today.
sad realisations
Oh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I’m not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck.
Like an idiot I didn’t measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted).I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn’t feel like what I’ve worked for at all… Fucking rental market…Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I’m going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I’ll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.
I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I’m really sad at having to shrink it so much. I’m ready to live more expansively. I’ve really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it’s going so much worse than I expected…
And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it’s too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that’s fallen through as well, arrrgh… what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?
Hugs. It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect as long as it’s clean and safe and you have access to all the things you need and can do what you want.
I do feel like I’ve got to shrink my idea of “doing what I want” down to fit the space, especially considering how much I have to pay to still live there. Never mind the plants, I realise I will be doing a lot less cooking here as well. Need to remember the big benefit of this place is I can leave once uni is done. I’m going to make the most of that choice, not going to let this bastard rental market crush me
so many hugs
sometimes I feel like we are living in Victorian times again , our choices have shrunk so much
I really feel for you. All I really have to say is that we’re really adaptable critters, and I’m sure once you’re over the shock of the move, you’ll get adjusted to the smaller place pretty quickly.
Thanks 🧡 yeah, I think I’ll find a way forward and adjust my mentality to just get through the next six months. I’m lucky to have my own space at least, and not with housemates from hell. I’m lucky too that I have a great job and plenty of field work options coming up.
It’ll be a good impetus to work on what I want in life next instead of being stuck in a rut
I think you get two free hard rubbish collections a year? Or am I making that up… maybe check with your council and use it as a backup option
My current council doesn’t do on-demand hard rubbish :/ The next booking available is well after I’ve moved out. I’ve got a friend with a station wagon, we might be able to take it to the tip. A shame as it’s a perfectly functional couch but I can’t seem to move it online
Cheers Strawberry Short Cakes🍺
Cheers🍻
Cheers 🍺
I forgot the strawberry 🍓
The closest I have to a strawberry are those strawberry and cream lollies.
That’ll have to do!
After my coffee of course.
They’re my favourite soft lolly. I believe 3 is the recommended serving size.
Yeah right.
3 handfuls, right?
Who’s to know if you eat them in the dark while watching tv.
Yeah right exactly.
I’ve gone over 3 already.
That’s the way. Prove them wrong.
That’s like telling me the recommended serving of dim sims are 2.
Hey buddy, you left out the 0.
Speaking of dimmies. The man brought some home.
🤤
2? What is this a famine?
My pink moscato has strawberry flavour.
That counts right?
I think it does. Welcome to the Strawberry Appreciation Club. 🍺 🍓
😂 cheers 🍺
Finish at 730 today 🥲
Nooooo. I’ll keep a couple cold for ya 👍
Just saw an insta story of a group of friends together that I’ve hung out with a few times during this year (not super close with them but neither are they with each other). We have a group chat used in the past to plan catch ups… not this time though. Maybe it’s just a coincidence they’re all together but can’t help but feel purposely excluded.
Wasn’t going to drink tonight but now I want one.
I’m sorry to hear that. You sound like fun to hang out with. ♥
I didn’t know I needed to know about these, but I do. stab proof jackets
Friday night in Thornbury just got a lot more interesting.
Sleep in….check
Peanut butter toast…check
Coffee….in progress.
Pizza….later
Ahh I’m so thankful I took the day off
Got up at 4am…check
Poached eggs on English muffin… check
Coffee…check, check, check
Pizza…later
Ahh, I would have loved to have taken the day off, but I guess it’s not that bad
Apart from the first point everything else sounds great.
It’s a nice day too so hope you’re able to enjoy that and take Mr Woof for a nice walk this afternoon
He always gets an after-work walk, it is always nice when it is good weather for it. The middle of winter when it it cold, dark and wet it is not so good.
Pizza sounds like a very good idea.
Bit late to the pizza party and forgot to take a ‘before’ pic, oops
Everyone is on the pizza train!
Blah. My internet is down. No cricket streaming :(
I have watched Gladiator in preparation for the sequel tomorrow.
Are you not entertained?
It’s one movie I actually wanna go see at the cinema, haven’t been in ages
Well go on then.
Going to get my car key!!!
Edit:
I am so excited for you!
what did you get?
Good old corolla lol
Edit: it’s a Mazda 6, I got it confused with another car I was looking at.
Corollas are great…but isn’t that a Mazda key?
I’m so fucking dumb lol
It’s a Mazda 6. I got them confused because I was looking at a corolla as well 😑
now patiently waiting for stories where you’re in the carpark, standing in front of a random corolla wondering why nothing’s beeping heh.
It won’t be long man lol
Maybe I’ll get an airtag 🤔
Not a diesel is it?!
Nah it’s not. Only 2 previous owners as well which is nice.
thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?
Mazda 6 is solid as. Nice and comfy, with enough guts to overtake people that like to do 20 under on the freeway.
Enjoy your ride mate :)
I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.
My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I’d gone with the Mazda.
I think you made the right choice.
SOME of them are. I have a lot of thoughts about the diesels.
I’m not a huge fan of smallish diesel cars, unless they’re European cars.
Mazdas overall are solid cars, quality and reliability wise.
Yessssss!!! 👍
smart choice! Everyone loves to bag them, but never heard a complaint from someone who actually owns one. only know people who regret selling them.
I reckon it should last a while. Work had the novated lease thing, but fuck that.
Yeaaaaah nah, not worth it unless you’re making serious coin. And sadly I don’t think a Corolla will last just a while…I think your stuck with it till the heat death of the universe. They don’t die.
Or you drive serious km. It’s designed for people who need a car for their job.
🤣🤣🤣
You’re right, you need to be near the ceiling of your possible salary before doing novation.
So cool. 😎
HELLL YEAAAAAAAHHHH
Yay! That’s awesome!
Seems like a really nice car if it’s anything to base off the previous models.
