IKEA drill set, hammer and screwdriver yet, space heater, baskets and tubs and stools, microwave and pizza oven, etc etc. All those bottles of this and that for cleaning, bleach tablets, sponges, hand soap. The list goes on. Let us know what you donât already have!

Thank you!!

Oh wow, youâre moving? Sorry, I probably missed an update while I was away. Where you headed?
Super kind of you, thanks so much for the offer! Iâll be right though. Funny story, I actually had an old ozito drill handed down to me from the old LT before he moved. That kid a few months ago stole that as well, but I couldnât remember the model number. I went on the Bunnings website and more or less pointed at a drill set and was like âoh yeah thatâs the one I hadâ. I barely know anything about drills, but I think this one was a bit better

To the Northern Hemisphere and see if I can pay Santa a visit! I had been quite unclear about it before. Great to know you have a nice drill!

! is our chef leaving Melbourne đż (But also if it is for warm and fuzzy feelings, this is good)

I left Melbourne several Christmases ago (true story, the tickets to Perth were purchased initially to be just a holiday visit), but somehow Iâm still here. Think of me as so far west, Iâm past Werribee.

Youâre just in a really outer western suburb

Not going to lie, zooming in a train doing 100+ kph, while cars are doing 60 next to you is pretty fun. đ
The best bit is the freeway at peak hour. Cars sitting in traffic watching a secession of trains flying past them doing 120 while they crawl to town.
We have a new train line opening next weekend. Will have to take the kids to Ellenbrook on the opening day.

Might be heading that way myself mid next yearâŚ
Baku@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Wow! Can we get a Nath story time one of these days?
Nath@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
It isnât an especially remarkable tale. I moved to Melbourne following a girl. After a few years, we got married and had a couple of kids. Fast forward to the oldest being 5.
Dad came to Melbourne to visit us, it turned out he wasnât really cooking for himself since mum had died and wasnât in a great place in general. We had enrolled the kid in school, but he hadnât put down roots yet. And then my contract at work finished up. It was a rare moment where we had nothing in particular holding us where we were.
Melbourne was wonderful when it was just the two of us, but it was tough to be there with kids and no family support. Every time we visited Perth, we had grandparents and a couple of aunties to help look after the kids. We already had flights booked for Christmas, so we just cancelled the return flights. I lined up my next job in Perth and weâve been here since.

bacon@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
