Back home after picking up my mum from the hospital. I left around 3am once we realised she wasn’t going to get seen by the doctor for hours, and I would be too tired to safely drive her home. Took until 10am to get her scans done, and 3pm to get the all clear, so a long stint in ED. She’s just got some bruises and she’s a bit sore, so glad that’s all it is.
I went to the tow truck place to clear out her car and she’s lucky the collison was on the passenger side and not the driver side, because she would have been severely injured. The other person involved was completely fine, newer car with way more airbags that cushioned the impact.
Barely slept last night and all the driving around today, I’m exhausted.
Big careful hugs for you and your mum 🫂
Jeez glad she’s okay. Sounds like quite the ordeal.
Time for some well earned rest and glad to hear your mum is ok.
Get plenty of rest, you need to look after yourself as well.
So glad that you’re both ok. Definitely rest up, that’s a lot to deal with in 24 hrs…
Your poor mum - I’m so glad she’s ok. And very stressful for you, too
so many hugs
happy your mum is ok considering
Glad she’s ok, hope she can rest up and everything is alright
Just went out and there’s a for sale sign on the house across the road. The caravan, the trailer, the two cars are gone. This is the same cunt who floors his hotted up torana down the street every weekend and then revs his car outside my place while his wife moves the 2 cars so he can put precious back in the yard. He also yells at his 2 little kids aggressively. Fucking hero. Best day ever.
So the wife has to move the Camira so she can move the Commodore so he can get the Torana out?
Yeah something like that while he barks orders from the driver’s seat. 😂
He sounds absolutely charming.
I’m picturing him as overweight and tatted up with large sunnies.
Spot on. Built like a brick shit house with a booming voice to match.
Fox racing hat and Jean shorts?
I don’t get that close.
Probably a good idea 😁
I’ve got a very particular mental picture of him and I’m willing to bet it’s pretty accurate.
Here’s hoping his house sells quickly and the new neighbours won’t be as annoying.
I feel bad for his family
good day for you he’s gone,
I don’t think they’re gone yet but it’s a matter of time.
I was stoked when the local meth dealer moved away, good bye to his giant bark all night dog too. I had a little celebration with his neighbours that I’m friendly with.
Ripper!
Yay: my mum got her eye surgery moved forward after much pressure
Nay: it’s on Anzac Day and my aunt can’t go and flights are stupidly expensive but at least my aunt has offered to chip in.
Looks like I might be doing a week back in the equatorial concrete jungle soup. Maybe a good opportunity to focus on writing uni stuff… Shame it’s my favourite time of the year in melbs but honestly all that is irrelevant when my mum’s eyes are at stake.
my mum got her eye surgery moved forward
Oh that is good news!
Yes and I won’t lie, what happened to your mum definitely added fuel to the fire for me in urging my mum to take the private option and get it done asap. So thank you for sharing your experiences!
sending a million good wishes for your mum
and good luck on the uni writing
I have been very good with the limited sweets thing this lentish…until tonight when I made this creation.
Here we have vanilla bean ice cream, hot chocolate topping, coffee topping, chocolate ice magic with a biscoff crumb and a twix. It was magnificent. 5/5 yum yums.
A jumbo twix. Yessss please.
Gifs you can hear
Ha…ha…
omg that looks so delicious
It was! It started with the kid getting in my car with a hot fudge sundae. I thought I can do better than that and I did!
this makes my guilty treat of a handful of gummy bears look like fasting
I had a savemore yopro low calorie paddle pop thing. It was no 2001 twix monolith. Then I put the heater on because frankly the main thing that has me overeating is the cold at night. Eating for heating is not a solution. I’m trying to avoid that this winter. Better to pay the power company than the junk food company.
Ice creams aren’t really food.
maybe good ice cream, made with cream? but it certainly isn’t a balanced dish
It’s flavoured air.
dusk view from my balcony 🙂 meh, for the cables but there are cables everywhere
the trees are lovely here 🙂
Beautiful!! So happy you have a lovely space to enjoy!
This election campaign will drive me crazy because of the huge number of people who cannot pronounce nuclear. Nukular, nooclearar, nuklah, gnocchi-la, newklrrrr, arrgghhhhhhhh.
It’s new-clue-arrrr
we need to hear more about the policies on gnocchi-la
One vote for the gnocchi-la ✅ I’m not fussed about the sauce.
Made myself a roast chicken sandwich.
Oh it’s so nice.
The dietician has taken ham and salami off my wife’s menu to address cholesterol. It should likely apply to me also, but I’m not organised enough to book things like “check ups” and dieticians. So I bought a large whole chook last weekend and we roasted it. It’s going into sandwiches this week (and will likely be a weekly thing for the foreseeable future) instead of ham/salami. So far, everyone likes the change. It works out far cheaper also: over 2kg of chook is about he prices of 500g of ham/salami.
but I’m not organised enough to book things like “check ups”
Alright consider this an order to GET organized. This is your health ffs. Nothing else is more important.
This is the second time today I’ve had to tell someone “yo you should REALLY see a doctor”.
Poached chicken breast is awesome to substitute for deli meat and you can add subtle flavours to it.
I personally use drumsticks as a bag of them are pretty cheap and the meat is so tender.
Air fry 1 big one or 2 medium or small should be enough for one sandwich size serving. Season before cooking, let stand for a few mins then cut the meat off.
Yum Yums to be had!
A whole chook in the instant pot for 40 mins is easy peasy and you get left over stock. I do it for curries, chilli and apricot chicken.
The chook also wont have the nitrites found in ham and salami so there’s another health bonus.
So simple and yet so good
I remembered it’s my birthday today so I got the breakfast banh mi as a treat on the way in to work. I think I’ll check my emails and head down to the nearby shopping centre during lunch to collect up as much free/discounted birthday stuff as I can

Cutting a big old bit of concrete with an angle grinder and didn’t realise it had rebar in it… whoopsie doodle. Tried to snap it in half when half way through without realising. Whoopsie doodle x 2 :(
Duuuuuude. You OK?
We lived!
Wasn’t that bad just the plan of attack failed :( Fuck they’re dangerous though lol.
I will not touch an angle grinder with a ten foot pole lol
You can never quite tell when they’ll kick.
yeah, I imagine that’s a little dangerous?
I’m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully it’s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. I’m just thankful she’s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then I’ll drive her home.
Good job totalled car, it crumpled on her behalf. Drive gently on the way home. One of my repeated memories of post accident issues was how much the drive home sucked because I was all beaten up and resisting the mild g-forces as a passenger was suddenly a painful struggle.
You just reminded me of an accident I was in as a teen where we had to go over the railway lines to get to the Drs, and then again to get home. The whiplash!
Thank goodness she’s ok! It is a truly scary experience. 🫂
I’m glad she’s OK ❤️
oh no, I hope every one is alright
Gentle healing hugs for you and mum.
Good job ex-car. She should probably be playing some Tetris.
Oh goodness!
I’m glad she’s ok and it wasn’t any worse.
It must have frightened you terribly.
Hope you’re ok as well.
I’m glad she’s okay
Shit, that’s one of my worse nightmares. Hoping everyone involved comes out mostly ok.
God, that would have been terrifying. I’m glad she’s ok
yikes. She got comp insurance?
Happy Unicorn Day everyone!!
Happy Unicorn Day Spinny 🦄
Seeing petrol go up around some places in town. ~$2 in Brighton, $1.65 in Springy.
I was reminded by my manager today too. I’d better fuel up soon too. Late Easter this year means I think high prices will last a bit longer
New car comes with a full tank of fuel 😁
I noticed it too so I topped up even though I had a half tank.
Oh bugger, I forgot to fill up
still waiting on REA 😠
5 hours late, then they send a no show apology 😡
What in tarnation:
The end times are near. Repent all and be saved!!
The food scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Im actually tempted to try them lol
thats what I said about the meat pie corn chips. It was not good.
but then if you didn’t try them you spend the rest of your life wondering what they taste like
i still regret not buying the haggis chips
Err that’s a hard no from me.
But…why
Is this pic from last week?!
Literally this morning at 7/11
Pie floater.
what is wrong with you
haha ! Have you tried one?
do I look crazy to you?
I’d still hit that though looks great :)
What is it floating in, the kiddies pool?
spoiler
It looks amazing tho and I want one
It’s pea and ham soup. It’s full of stars.⭐️
Pie wallowing in the shallows
