    Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.

        dunno. Garage door was open when we got up. It has been opening itself but I thought we solved that issue.

          Hopefully your insurance covers it all. Let me know if you need any tips. Companies can get shifty with claims and such. happy to provide some advice from previous experiences

            it wont sadly. Excess is like 2k. We intentionally set it as high when the premium and just accepted if the tv blew up or got stolen we will just cop it on the chin. So I guess thats whats gonna happen.

    I’ve changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.

        And her phone ping in locations that deathcaps grow, but she says she doesn’t forage for mushrooms. And she served her own meal to herself on a different coloured plate to the others. So many coincidences!

        It’s so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn’t want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I’m so interested to hear what the defence will say.

    Doctor problems.

    Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn’t let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).

    Absolutely pointless waste of time.

    I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.

        There is something about moving that brings out the need to decorate. I have bought a cheap rug, I’ll see how it works with everything else before deciding if I want to spend the money on a proper one.

    I’ve just realised Miss Meow is going to be able to go outside in the new place. She’s not going to be able to scale the colourbond fence, and as long as I make sure there are no gaps under gates or anything like that it should be secure enough.
