It’s been a hell of a year! I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone here for all the support.
This was a difficult year, and quite honestly, I don’t think I would have made it without you all ❤️❤️❤️
Happy new year!!!
Happy new year!
I also want to say everyone here is great and has been a huge support network. :)
It’s a special place for sure. Like the old internet.
Oh Habib forever in our hearts. Wishing all the best for your future. Inshallah
Thank you ❤️ let’s see what the new year has in store for us all!
Happy new year to you too!
Nearly didn’t make it myself because of the shot time I had at work in the last couple of months.
Here’s to a new year and new beginning.
Happy New Year to the Fluffybutt fam. luv you all 😘
yeah , bad year too, spent far too many months in bed with sciatica
but I did do all that sewing and reupholstering
read a few books
and continued learning and growing
I don’t think I could have made it without mr seagoon 😭
Have a great NYE everyone. Thanks for the fun times on this site, and putting up with my bullshit.
And if anyone is wondering, my neighbour is watering the lawn FOR THE SECOND FUCKING TIME TODAY!!!
Bless you all and hail Satan :)
I hope you have a FANTASTIC NEW YEARS!
Hail!
bro sent an email to ol’ boy/girl last night. Basically a rant… i’ll write a list:
I predicted that they’d try and guilt the p’s into changing shit just for them and blame me. Don’t really know why I’m caught up in this.
Highly manipulative shit.
But why he sent that to the ol’ girl is fucked. In early Jan she’s about to find out if she’s going to be totally blind. We’re all stressing about that and there’s bro pulling shit like this. She’s stressed enough.
I swear SIL is pulling the strings.
I will not make them feel welcome next time I see them.
Thank you for listening :)
This mega pisses me off. In the vast majority of cases being knocked up isn’t a great drama. Much sympathy.
Some people…
Man, I wanna smack your bro and Sil lol. What narcissistic assholes 🤦🏼♀️
narcissistic
I think that’s exactly what it is unfortunately.
omg, that’s so shameful
and so many hugs and best wishes for your mum , that’s just so sad
best wishes for your mum
Thank you it means a lot. It’s been so rough on her last thing she needs is this crap.
This is my take on this: Bro and wife have had heated words. She’s thrown out a “your family treats us like shit and you don’t stick up for me. Blah blah blah”. He’s left the room to write an angry email.
Ignore it. You’ve got more important things to deal with.
I’m going to agree with this. I’ve been pressured into something along these lines with friends, but then I dumped her.
I think you’re right. Either that or she’s "I’m going to get my way and you’re not making it happen be a MAN’. Actually tempted to ask her point blank what role she’s played in writing those emails. Bro was sending similar entitled shit when they were getting married lol.
I don’t get why having or not having children is such a clout thing. And being empreggened means they get to be in charge or they have a tantrum? Sounds really entitled.
Is there a word like bridezilla but for this situation and both of them?
get to be in charge or they have a tantrum?
I think it’s that but it was happening before expecting. Now it’s next level entitled heh.
Mom/Dadzilla can be used after hatching. Breeder applies before and aft to a certain type of person who doesn’t bother to Parent and just spawns.
WTF: 4. AND 5.
I just have too many bad words… In more than one language, LOL.
Methinks it’s a shame there wasn’t several different instances of 3.
HNY! 🎉 To less FWs in 2025.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! Have fun and stay safe :-)
Woo Hoo, I am finally splinter free!
I think once the anasthetic wears off it is going to really hurt - the splinter turned out to be over 1cm long and as thick as a matchstick. No wonder it would not come out! I’ve got another box of antibiotics and an extra dressing, hopefully that will be the last of it.
Really needed that tetanus shot!
It’s a bit sobering to think that before tetanus shots and antibiotics a wound like that could easily have been fatal, or led to having the hand amputated (which also could have been fatal). Mind you, I would have already been crippled by the broken arm when I was 12
owww
I feel some point in February I blinked and when I opened my eyes it was New Year’s Eve. Where did the year go, I swear it’s faster every year. There’s been some ups and downs, and lots of things same as ever that wish I had managed to change, but it was not to be, such is life. Anyway, cheers DT. Hope you are enjoying the night whether it’s staying in or going out, whether you are partying hard or in quiet contemplation. May 2025 be a year of good things ahead.
Cheers 🍺
Hey! Why’d you post this picture of me bruh

Cheers to smart past you 🍺
Well, Happy NYE, have a palliative care admission. I don’t need pats, it’s been coming for ages, but sheesh.
Feels. Sending you some strength and patience vibes over the aether.
I’m really sorry
Really sorry to hear.
Wishing you a Happy new year.
MY PINA COLADA GOON BAG IS STILL FROZEN! THIS IS A TRAGEDY! A TRAVESTY! A WAR CRIME!
Yesterday the man and I had a bet on the cricket. If Australia got up, he has to make me a cuppa in the mornings for the rest of his holidays. Fuck yeah. Who’s laughing all the way to the couch now? Me.
Hello from Melbourne Airport! Hope you all have a lovely and safe last evening of the calendar year, no matter if you do or don’t celebrate! Lots of love and warmth!
My daughter’s friend got a new puppy and there was a name off. I put my bid in. Anyway it came 2nd. Arlo is his name but I refuse to except defeat. Conversation goes like this:
Me: How’s Gus going?
Friend: good
Friend to kid: Your mum knows his name isn’t Gus
Kid: Yeah. She knows
Me: How’s Gus going?
My name is better.
What a weird dream. The feeling of joy after breaking up with my last ex. Fuck it. I’ll take it lol
Sitting out front of my doctors surgery because if I don’t see her tonight, I can’t see her till 2nd week of new year.
Can’t say it’s exactly exciting.
Mega fortnight of roadtrip family visits done. Looking forward to home now. Actually excited about doing a but of a detox and cleaning out the kitchen and pantry over the weekend. I knew I was burned out but not how bad. Bring on 2025. The year of the weekend! (I.e. no overtime or work on the weekend)
I have now changed the sheets & vacuumed the house. Out with the old 2024 dust, in with the fancy new 2025 dust!
Can I go to bed yet?
Little tomatoes are forming!
One plant seems rather short and stunted with black spot on the leaves so I gave all the tomatoes and zucchini a spray with the eco fungicide. I also saw white fly on one tomato so everybody got sprayed with eco pest spray too.
My poppy seeds barely sprouted but dried out :( Resowed.
The Jack be little pumpkins haven’t sprouted so I might sow more.
I’ve moved the birds water dish to a less accessible spot but you know the dipshits are just going to come even further within the property line and trample my flowers… I need to slow down on the spending and try to pick a spot, but I may have to sacrifice precious back yard space to put a birdbath or water bowl there.
We got us some franklin’s no frills fireworks going. More sad than anything lol
I’ve had dreams about falling
From every precipice
Every cliff and yet still
Ever always returning the fool
I’ve had dreams about flying
From out this life
From strife and feeling
That the air on my face is cool
Kiddie fireworks just going off. Panicked cat count legging it over my back fence for the evening so far - 1.
Off an hour early today l. Heading home before it’s too crazy in the city 🎉🎉🥰
So I’m thinking Wallace and Gromit tomorrow morning at Cinema Nova. It will be a good first movie going experience for the boys as it doesn’t go for too long and will end before nap time.
I just hope not too many other people are there just in case things don’t go smoothly but maybe the novelty will get them through
Pest control man came. He couldn’t find it unfortunately. He hung up odour absorbent bags, according to the packaging it “doesn’t just make odours”, it “eliminates them!”. Seems a bit ambitious to me. But fingers crossed it works
He said there’s definite signs of both mice and rats up there. Droppings and insulation that had been lifted up where they’ve probably burrowed in to nest. He also said there’s a massive hole up there which is where they’d be getting in. Apparently it’s so large he didn’t even need to use his torch. That’s promising, isn’t it?
Not a possum which is good. That means the smell should go away in a week or two. But not great he couldn’t find it and suspects there are more. And that there’s a gigantic hole in the roof
Sigh
“My butt is clamped to flapping farts. I will need enough bees to fly to the moon”
Today is such a weird day. Super lazy and feels like im waiting for the event tonight.

So glad I never married my ex. They proposed just after HS, and I purchased the ring they picked out. $35 bucks.
I burned it along with the lovebomb letters and keepsakes they’d given me, and threw it all in the trash, after we broke up.
Now I live in an apartment, with my partner and cat. We drink and go out, we stay in and chill together. He hasn’t forced me into a shape to fit him. It’s liberating to find a person who gives you permission to be yourself, unapologetically. I don’t need a partner, but I found who I am because they encouraged me to do so.
Just a little appreciation of the way my life changed.
Now to pawn off the el cheapo gold and diamond necklace my ex gave me lol

I’m glad you someone who uplifts you like this, enriches your life, and you don’t have to be a shell of yourself. I hope to find the same!
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 days ago
A partner, I’ve learned, is someone who helps you be more “you”. I hope you find that someone too, we all deserve to have someone love us for being unapologetically us

I was an operations/billing consultant, 6 years in at an old job, and he was a temp in the call centre (where I had initially started). The works Xmas party was coming up, and because we (call centre, credit/payment plans, and billing/backend) were a small team, we didn’t feel it was fair to exclude the temps from the Xmas party. So we successfully lobbied to have them invited too, it was some ritzy expensive place near docklands. Anyway, my partner (obvs not at the time) and I hit it off that night and I spent the night at his place 👀😅
Had to go home the next day to a very angry ex, as she was still living with me while her parents set up their bungalow for her 😂😂😂😂 once she moved out in the new year (2019), that temp needed a pkace to stay as his share house fell through. He never left. He was meant to go back to Perth and then onto Canada for a job there. But yeah, what was a temporary stay with a FWB has turned into a 5 year relationship hahahaha now we have a cat so I guess we’re serious LOL
sorry for the long story haha! I just think it’s a funny story heh
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
so many hugs, so happy you found the right guy 💖
one thing I don’t understand, it just doesn’t make sense, these people choose us for all our traits and personality and what we do, yet they try to crush that and stop us from doing those things

Ikr. In the case of my ex, I think they were always MTF trans, and before they realised, they took me and tried to force me into what they wanted to be themselves. Besides the actual sexual crimes they commited against me, I think that was theit reason for trying to make me more “feminine”. Their reason was they were helping me find my “girlhood” after my mum forced me to dress like a boy when I was a teen so men didn’t stare at me lol.
One extreme to another gosh. Childhood trauma can really set up some nasty adult relationships. I’ve found a happy medium now dw my wardrobe has lovely sundresses, skirts, pants, and shirts haha
