Thanks for all the congratulations on the unit acquisition yesterday. I'm still settling into believing it's real, especially after two let-downs.
It's going to be strange not obsessively checking the real estate sites and doing the rounds of the OFIs every Saturday.
Now to continue with Operation Sort Shit and decide what to take and what to dispose of.
A temporary storage space like Storage King is your friend here I reckon. I found when I moved, that I just put everything I wasn't sure about in that space, and only put stuff in the new place that I KNEW I wanted there. The doubtfuls were sorted later and a lot went to next generation family and to charity etc as I just didn't have room for them in the new house. Ended up with the new place having ONLY stuff I wanted to keep. This really really helped my decision making on the other stuff. It also helped that the storage space was just up the road from a Vinnies which dramatically eased the actual disposal. Worth considering as a tactic.
I don't think I've suffered from hayfever this late in the season. Generally a spring thing and gone by Dec/Jan....It's friggin March and I'm still dealing with it
Listed some old PC parts on Gumtree, the first five minutes I get the standard "I want to purchase give me your email so I can send you a phishing link" quickly followed by an account called "support" with the gumtree logo telling me I had a pending offer and to just provide my email.
This was then followed up with a second "support" account trying a different scam, and one person doing the "I will send a courier" bit.
I got myself an instant pot for Christmas and it has been amazing on low energy / sad days. Today I was WFH and feeling terrible, but I managed to get rice on mid afternoon ((cup of rice, cup of water turn it on and wait for it to beep at me). Then I managed to saute some onions garlic etc, added lentils, random spices and some leftover tomatoes and I got yummo dal stew with the rice. Enough for a couple more meals too. And I feel much better for having eaten something hearty and homemade.
I realise when my energy is low I can chop a few things, but nursing multiple pots on the stove then cleaning them all up is too much. Having something that I can put stuff in and it does it all and just beeps when my stew/beans/whatever is ready is great.
Also been making yogurt in it which is also awesome.
I love this and it's exactly why I love my slow cooker. Fry up a bit of meat and onion. Chuck it in with some other stuff and the end of the day I have meals. Absolute bliss.
A young brushtail just tried to have a go at Mr Woof through the glass of the back door! It was full on banging on the outside of the door right in front of him. Mr Woof is now outside doing a full security patrol while Miss Meow supervises from inside.
Alrighty. Halfway through preparation for interview on Wednesday. Shame it's going to be 37 degrees so I'll be ubering instead of PT so I'm not a sweaty mess.
That aside, if anyone has a ps5 controller with stick drift, push the analogue sticks down for 10 seconds, then turn clockwise for 10 seconds and again counter clockwise for 10 seconds.
Edit: because I referenced it, here is the first video I ever saw on the internet. Iirc I saw it on ebaumsworld and have been saying "but I'm le tired" for over a decade now
Any of the South American ones. Brazil, Colombia or the special blend. Essentially any of the 1 kg bean bags are good value for money, not the dark roasts though.
The only ones I've tried are the Lazzio Medium beans in the white bag and they are excellent. I can't speak to the fancier looking ones. I should do a trip and pick up a fresh bag actually. I also prefer my coffee a bit stronger and the medium hits just right for me.

10 years out and I believe it! What I’ve heard of the apps now is swipe garbage. They didn’t often read profiles back then, I’m not sure you even can now
So today my health insurance policy got canceled automatically, which I didn’t know could happen, due to my payments lapsing.
I have 2 options, I can resume my old policy if I’m able to make a big enough or full payment (which I may not be able to meet).
2nd option is to take out a new policy within the next month.
There’s obviously differences between my old policy and the new policy depending on what I pick for extras and whatnot but I’m not sure what I’m losing out on and how much difference the limit are.
If I retain my old policy it could really strain my finances for awhile and if I’m able to do it at all.
If I don’t I won’t have to pay for the period I wasn’t covered and I’d be on a new plan and have to restart waiting periods.
In my life time I’ve only claimed on dental, optical and some prescription meds but not much else if that helps.
Happy to take some opinions about this, I have some time to deal with this, by end of next week.
I'd probably go with the new policy. Most of the waiting periods are only 2 months, it's only a few more major things that are longer, and the worst case scenario just involves you needing to be treated as a public instead of a private patient.
I would recommend you think about whether the extras is actually value for money - the maximum payment amounts make it hard to get your money's worth from those, you are probably better off putting the money the extras will cost into a savings account to pay for treatments.
