Does my bum look big in this?
No girl. You look beautiful.

The trap is working
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
My birth certificate got lost somewhere in the house a year or so ago and after many unsuccessful attempts to find it, I’d decided today was going to be the day I’d apply for a new one. Checked the Justice services joint in Broady was open and off I went on the bus and train. Sign on the door apologising for inconvenience but they are no longer processing BD&M requests, scan the QR code for a list of other locations and go there. Ok, so I did and Reservoir was the closest, so off I went on the bus and train. Get to Reservoir and the same sign is on their front door!
Ended up getting photocopied notarised documents and submitted online, which I didn’t want to do because I hate sending personal ID documents online, would much rather do in person. I just don’t feel safe. The website is an utter shitshow, wouldn’t accept my postal address, I’ve seen window cleaning junkies work more effectively.
So I got home and baked brownies with the kids, and they are fudgy and delicious (the brownies not the kids)
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yum!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
They look great!
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced today.
It must have been frustrating as hell to deal with.
Those brownies look so nice. I could really use a batch of them warm right now after the shitty day I’ve had and fall into a blissful food coma.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That is so frustrating!

Oooooh carbs. My old friend.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Hello carbos, my old friend,
I’ve come to gnaw on you again,
Nighttime I dream I’m consuming
Noodles, pasta, rice I’m wanting
But eventually you’ll turn to sugar from grain
And cause me pain
From diabetes
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’ve already had about half a cup of rice but I’m about to chow down on some chips… definitely craving the carbs tonight as well.
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yummy chippies.
As ambitious as it was I wasn’t able to eat the whole lot so I have dinner for tomorrow as well.

Yipes - got a phone call on my break between clients - major shit has gone down at work.
Better not say too much even semi-anonymously, but it’s time-to-join-the-union-and-get-representation shit.
I see many phone calls in my future…bacon@aussie.zone 1 month ago
the sun has set and my room is dark
i should get off the bed and the phone
and clean my room

Today’s the day I know for sure I need antihistamines this season 😢
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Today’s the day I’ve ramped it up to nasal spray + tablets. And I’m still a bit concerned I could be coming down with something.

The surf is roaring in the distance… ‘bout 1.5km away, honestly one of my favourite sounds. Then every few minutes the neighbours’ cow moos and I lose my shit. I don’t know why a random cow mooing at 1am is funny but it is. Dog barking isn’t funny, plovers squawking isn’t funny… but when the cow goes it hits different.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Okay I’ve definitely had way too much caffiene and too much work time because my eyes feel very googly and I got that wired/tired thing going on. Someone make me dinner and take out the rubbish and put away the clothes and pack my bags for me please…
…wait, that someone has to be me? Bummer. 😮💨 Gotta remind myself of my trip, true rest and recuperation is around the corner…
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I got so many things on my to do list done today 🙂 , just niggling things
I have every cupboard sorted now and unwanted stuff put aside, most has already been taken to op shop or distributed to neighbours
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s so nice getting things crossed off the to-do list and some decluttering done

Slept for 7 hours uninterrupted. Luxury!!

This level of sleepage is unheard of by those in my household aged between 13 and 79 lol

Ive been playing (reading?) this compilation of interactive stories. Not quite a choose your own adventure, but you make choices for the main character (it reminds me of a dungeon master narrating a DnD game and you choose what spells or how to approach a situation). It’s very compelling, I’ve finished the Wizard’s stories.
However, this shows me that amateur male writers generally do not know, or care to know, how to write a good female character. I loved the cleric woman whom the main character teams with, but no, she would not wait in a room for days/weeks while I’m cavorting in The Abyss/Hell. She is a cleric who has been in combat and has bashed goblin heads and smote nasty evil. She would not wait in that room on the off chance I would return. Ffs.
It appears most of the series’ in this collection are from a male point of view, and while I don’t mind the 80s/90s-esque style of writing (calling women pretty things, etc) as it fits the silliness of medieval fantasy heavily inspired by DnD, I do mind when women character are just treated as props.

This week has been the 7am start work week with lots of uni stuff due. Tired but wired. Sleep deprived but slowly sleeping earlier! Submitted stuff a little late but getting through it. Next week will be better

I have spilt coffee on myself twice today, which is twice too many. First I was walking along a footpath/bikepath and stepped on my partners heel accidentally, and he stopped to fix it and I just walked into the back of him and spilt coffee down my front. Glad I had a raincoat on lol.
Second was just now, and just out of pure unco-ness I just slopped some of my coffee onto my oodie.
Put a fork in me, I’m done 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️

poking holes in you means spilling coffee from your stomach

There’s some kind of onepass members deal weekend thing happening from today til sunday. Considered posting in the frugal community, but although they are deals, everything is branded so it doesn’t really compare to just buying home brand everything (I mean who the fuck is spending 30 bucks (on sale!) for “One Summer Eau De Toilette Spray”??). But these are some of them that seemed okay:
Kmart
- 110 pack Finish Classic dishwashing tabs - $15 [13.6c per tab]
- 1.25L Morning Fresh original dishwashing liquid - $7 [55.9c/100ml (I think)]
- Handheld physio massage gun set - $49
- 10 piece Sistema Storage Set - $22
- 188 Piece Mega Art Set - $29
- 4L Duo washing liquid [$3/L]
- 5kg clean and soften washing powder - $12 [$2.40/kg]*
(NB on the washing powder: Coles sell a 4kg box of homebrand washing powder for $5, so that’s what I mean by homebrand still being cheaper. That’s what I usually buy)
And a couple more from Kmart that seem like more kiddy things. Idk if they’re worth it, or would even appeal to kids (they seem like stuff nobody else bought so ended up on special buy to me), but I know a lot of parents like to buy things for chrissy through the year, so maybe they appeal to someone:
- Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Jurassic World assorted dinosaur thingies - $10ea
- Disney Sorcerer’s Arena Epic Alliances Core Set - $15
- Hot Wheels City Super Loop Fire Station Playset - $19
- Crayola Multi-Colour Light Board - $10
- Monster Jam Garage Grave Digger Playset - $49
- Nickelodeon PAW Patrol All PAWS Gift Set - $15
- DreamWorks Gabby’s Dollhouse Kitty Fairy’s Garden Treehouse Playset - $29
Catch, Bunnings, Target, and Priceline all have deals on, too, but I haven’t had a chance to look through them just yet. Plus I’m trying not to impulse buy all of the things.
Officeworks has 15x flybuys points on Apple products, and half price standard photo printing in store.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s totally cool to go in there. I’m not a mod or anything but if people prefer brand for some reason and use deals or coupons that’s still frugal
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The cost of selling my name and details is not worth “deals”.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
You have a fair point. Personally, I’ve pretty much just accepted my details probably already are up for sale somewhere. Everywhere seems to either have data breaches once a week, or basically is a data breach (selling everything they know to the highest bidder). The “deals” aren’t really anything special for the most part either. Half price/home brand pretty much makes the first list redundant anyway

I got everything youse asked for and I gift wrapped them 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁. Now who’s gonna help carry everything in and put it away.
I picked up some German cotton thread. It scanned at $30. I declined.

I keep waking up swinging my arms. it started a week or 2 ago I dreamt the toddler was falling off the bed and woke up basically throwing myself over the mrs to catch him, only it was 3am and he was in his own bed. Happened a few times last night where i woke up jolting my arms out or something. Worried its only a matter of time till I hit the mrs or a cat in my sleep. Not exactly sure what I can do stop it.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Had a dream that UFC was on at the MCG and I had lounge tickets, so I went and took my cat. Just carried him around with me and he was entranced because there was a parade of women wearing huge, sparkly ballgowns. The food in the lounge sucked and tbh it kind of resembled some old rich person’s house with pale pink carpets and curtains. Pretty sure I went ringside and watched a fight, but the cat wasn’t enjoyed it, so we went back up to the lounge. Cat and I went home where I found out that Lizzo was going to be playing at the AFL Grand Final alongside Katy Perry.
Better than dreaming about needing to prove myself at work, I guess!

wtf this weather, just keep getting random rain , I have painting to do 🫥
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
My father kept us imprisoned in the house. He would take me to and from school, and my mother to and from work.
Sometimes I would be allowed to go with him to do the weekly food shopping. That was it. The rest of the time, we were props from him to unleash his insanity onto.
As I grew older, my mother convinced him to let her take me to the doctor with her, by ourselves. She would then tell me to go visit with friends, then we would meet back up and go home together, with him none the wiser.
Sometimes my mother is in my dreams and for a split second when I wake up I have forgotten she has passed away.
What a life it has been.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m glad you made it out and are here now.
Stories like this one, make me tear up knowing there are families out there living in forced nightmares.

Wouldn’t hesitate to sue if I can. All proceeds from the suit for a parenting licensing scheme.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Both my parents were the prison wardens of my life; without hijacking your post I’ll just say I grew up in a very uncharacteristic way for someone born early 70s. All those memes where they say they rode bikes all day with their friends and had to come home before the street lights came on and mucked about building cubbies etc., I cannot at all relate to. It’s hard when you can be long out of an abusive situation and it still just randomly pops up for no reason, like you’re out of it but never really free. It took a shamefully long time into my adulthood to realise that I am an adult, and have to employ my own initiative in life. I’m glad you’re out of that situation, and I hope the random “pop up” trauma doesn’t trouble you too much 🙏🏼
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m sorry you went through that.
I truly understand how you feel ❤️
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Bro. thats… thats so shit. I’m glad you are free now. Cant physically hug ya so go stand in front of a mirror give yourself a big hug and pretend for me, ok?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I appreciate the kind words man. Today wasn’t too bad. Tomorrow is a new day.
