    It’s been a big week. I’m tired but I’m ok, I’ll rest tomorrow. Plus man and kid picked up her new car today so it’s a celebration 🎉. Good news is, with a little rearranging both cars will fit in the garage because her’s is a matchbox.

    Cheers everyone 🍺 and 'ave a good weekend.

      Has she done a defensive driving course? They’re pretty good for learning to swerve and brake, you might be able to get away with something similar out your way.

        Mate, she hasn’t even got her licence yet.

        That’s actually a good idea.

          Certainly saved me from an accident in my first few years of driving. Some shit went down in front of me on Punt rd and I wasn’t going to brake in time so I swerved onto the empty wrong side of the road. I reckon they should be required to move from Ps to Full license.

    Gutters started overflowing. Thankfully it was the release valve near the tank and not anything else (just cleaned the bloody things a week and a bit ago).

    But golly gosh when I hear water gushing I get completely paranoid now after all the water woes over the last few years.

        power outage means safety mechanism stopped the worst.

        Gushing water is months to years of fucking drama and mould paranoia

    Op went well but dang, keeping on top of the eyedrops and meds for the next week and doing a lot of cleaning and bending down etc for my mum is quite a bit of work. Between that and getting on top of work and uni it looks like I’ll have a lot on my plate

      Doing a load of washing right now, woke up pretty late so I won’t be able to get it out for another 30 mins.

      I did bolognese sauce last night, as long as it works it’s all good!

      After washing I’ll warm up a lasagna and get ready for the Anzac Day footy match.

    Hilarious scenes here. Kid has now learnt why spending 5 hours in her new car with radio, lights and windows down is too much for a little battery. Also why Mummy has windy windows. Daddy is now charging the battery to atleast wind the windows up in case it rains. Kid has now killed Daddy’s buzz.

    I really do try not to be judgy. But there are people out there actually making an active choice to have margarine on their toast. It’s not better for you and it tastes like spreadable plastic.

        The olive oil based stuff is still way better than marge. Have some Nuttelex.

        And margarine still has dairy in it!

      Marge is a good starter spread for kids cos unlike butter it doesn’t rip holes or roll off the bread.
