Last hope for the year done.
Bread, peanut butter, chippies, mushroom soup and baby peas.
Maybe I should have also picked up more chicken schnitzel but I’ll leave that for next time.
Also Aldi gravy is pretty good!
Happy New Year! May 2025 be safe, prosperous and enjoyable for us all!
Happy New Year. Love you all so much. 😘😘😘
Happy new year guys!
Happy Early New Year. The kids lost interest in the ABC NYE show, which we all used to love. They had proper kids entertainment during the early fireworks (think Bluey and other popular performers doing songs kids like) but they’ve foregone that in recent years in favour of more adult indigenous awareness type artists. I get the need to show awareness of the issues facing indigenous people, but maybe not during the kids part of the show?
Anyway, I love you guys and hope 2025 is a better one for all of us.
Awkward for the neighbour, sounds like he shot one off early!
Ah, Premature Explosion Disorder. Nothing to be ashamed of, that happens to a lot of people!
Well if it’s been 365 days since they last let off no wonder haha
Party next door loud… I’m staying at home and inside being a square thanks
You know… I miss things like No Frills and Black & Gold. Seriously not a fan of the Colesworth duopoly
I see a lot more full trolleys in aldi than I do coles these days. We are also lucky enough to have a Foodworks and an IGA.
I’ve started to be able to kind of make it to Aldi (on a good day if I really push it) but no idea if it’s going to stay that way.
Also there’s no way I’ll be able to carry a full shop
Nice, I don’t have one here
Being a clutz has paid off. Yesterday I went to an all you can eat buffet with some friends. The food was not very good. If you left any food, they would weigh it and charge you an amount based on that.
I grabbed my plate and somehow, I just lost my grip and it. It bounced against the side of the table and the really shit cuts of meat that were close to inedible fell on the floor.
They didn’t make me eat them off the floor thankfully.
I still quote this to this day 😂
Happy New Year, DDT fam!
I don’t speak about it much, but this year has probably had both my highest of highs and lowest of lows. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great place both for staying generally/mostly upbeat and positive and for solid discourse when it comes up. I really enjoy reading everyone’s comments on the daily, even if it’s just about life in general.
I really wish everything the best that 2025 has to offer you, no matter how big or how small. We’re all doing our best.
Big love. 🖤
So many sirens going off, never ending, wtf is going on this new years.
Lots of people around my way seem to be setting off their own, and plenty of sirens too.
Seems average to me
External cupboard for washing machine ?!?
Like a dirty little secret
Pun intended
delicious cheeses on crackers are being nommed
Yay for cheese
it’s that apricot and almond cheese 🤤
Is it too late for coffee?
My dad told me about his coffee drinking habits. He drinks one upon waking. Then one at 11am at work. Then at lunch time. Then in the evening. We think he might also have ADHD.
Right now he’s standing on the roof blowing the gutters, with a fleece jacket on, probably to avoid getting sunburnt. This man has never worn sunscreen in his life. Yesterday he painted the fence. Last week, he polished the garage door (who polishes their garage door?!). He can’t take a break and do nothing. Absolute madman.
I need your dad to come to my place and do all my house maintenance chores. I didn’t even know garage doors could be polished, sounds classy.
I’m about to make another coffee if that’s of any l help.
When I’m working I’m usually having 3 or 4 coffees a day but they’re taken very early.
My 2c: if you’re staying up til midnight or later, go for that coffee!
Caffeine doesn’t have too noticeable of an effect of me, though, so I am biased. I suspect it probably does something subconsciously that I don’t realise, but as far as conscious effects go, sometimes I’ll feel a little more awake for 5 or 10 minutes max. But it feels akin to skulling some water, eating a banana, going outside into the sunshine and saying “I’m awake now!”
PFFFT
ANY HOUR IS A GOOD HOUR TO HAVE COFFEE
I wish I had his motivation to do chores hahahaha
Exactly!
Me too, I don’t know how he does it.
I wish coffee made me that productive!
I’ve been doing a big reminisce and reflection tonight. I feel like I’ve lead a very interesting childhood. So many things I’ve gotten to do, whether I was meant to or not that most people my age never have
I almost shared a few stories here, but I thought they were a little personal and also rather irrelevant so I deleted them. One day, I’m gonna find a medium to write all of my stories in without feeling weird about it. I doubt it’d be a book, as some have suggested, but I like sharing stories. I like hearing random anecdotes and stories too, for that matter. I used to always badger my mum for stories about her nanna

Fish fingers served on a toothpick please. So I can ceremonially remove the stick to appropriately celebrate splinter-free finger day.

Last day of carbs soooo what do you recommend? (Also two oat beers)

Happy new year everyone!
One ambo driving past. No fireworks yet.
Currently playing Lego Skywalker Saga with A Die hard movie on.
Sadly no booze, forgot all about it.
Gotta remember at midnight to go to the building hallway and look through the windows to the city, gotta get my new years fireworks fix lol
Over half way through squid game two, and it doesn’t need to exist. Almost identical to first season so far disappointed
Oh man, we smashed it in a few nights and were sad there wasn’t more
I’m still watching it and enjoying it tbh. I feel the story is almost identical though. Idk just a bit disappointed
Lame AF I’ll give it a miss then
I’m disappointed in my cordless stick vac. It seemed to work well at first and I liked that it was relatively quiet but it doesn’t pick up anything… or maybe it just struggles with larger particles like tracked paper cat litter pellets. But that’s what I got it for!
The Big W corded stick was literally half the cost, crevice tool is broken and the thing is kind of falling apart in half but it puts the fancier model to shame. Sucks large stuff up no problem.
Unfortunately it’s incredibly loud, requiring me to wear ear protection and scares the cat. So it’s not easy to vacuum
You need to regularly clean the filters on these. I use a paint brush to get a good clean on both the hepa filter and the foam like cover.
Yeah, I checked that nothing was blocked but will have to check again
Um, have you washed the filter? Not just emptied the bag - the filter screen needs to be rinsed and dried too. Also the rollers might be full up with floof and need to be combed free. Failing that, there might be blockage in the tube that connects the bag to the business end - poking with a chopstick from the underside might help a bit.
I should try that. It was much weaker from the start and there doesn’t seem to be a blockage but I haven’t washed the filter yet
I need a new vac, so I won’t be getting the Kmart one lol. I have a hand-me-down phat-ass Dyson, but the bucket clip is broken, so I have to hold the bottom until it’s over a trash bag to empty it. I think half the apartments dust particles make it up my nose each time lol. I just wish I could fix the bucket because I like the Dyson, I’m very grateful I was given it, even though it was used for years beforehand.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a GOOD cheap vac sigh
I don’t think there is. I always want to get a proper vac and not cheap junk but finances
On a packed tram home, shoulder to shoulder, person across (approx 25f) from me just unwrapped a hungry jacks type burger and started chomping away. It smells a lot (normal burger smell). This is pretty strange and poor form right??
I don’t mind if people eat, as long as they’re not making those gross sucking noises as they chew. And mouths closed when you chew people. MOUTHS FUCKING CLOSED!
I’m sorry for my outburst.
I agree with you.
My dad unfortunately eats l like that I have to try and distract myself. It’s so disgusting.
Seems ok. Some examples of poor form might be eating a burger while:
Attending a funeral
While using a public toilet
While getting a massage at the day spa
Just to name a few…
Waiting for someone at pathology
Very poor form. Eating on public transport (except in a properly appointed dining car) is VERBOTEN for a lady. Yes, it’s the smell and and difficulty on disposing of the rubbish plus handwashing etc. Gross too from a microbiology perspective.
Was on a tram last year where a girl sitting alone in the first seat behind the driver (no.11 tram) was chomping on KFC. When she’d finished all she was going to eat, she dropped the bones & rubbish in the bag and then tossed it over her head behind her without looking. Hit 3 people before making it to the floor. If looks could kill then I’m still surprised she made it off the tram alive.
Thank you for chiming in. I was starting to feel crazy with all this gaslighting
poor form to eat on a tram wat?
Am I the one being weird here 😬
Round one Boomies survived. I have the Cult on but strategically throwing single biscuits for them to chase was probably more helpful.
Happy New Year, DT!! An hour and half away from midnight here but not sure I’m gonna make it!!

Oh great. Well at least I can stay inside watching the test match as long as it doesn’t get rained out as per usual in Sydney.
