    I’ve been so successful in weatherstripping around the sliding door the dog door panel is inserted into that now the air pressure is blowing the dog flap open and letting in even more cold air than was coming through the gaps.

    Going to see if I can finish I watching The last of us Season 1 tonight.

    Then I’ll start making my way through Andor.

        Stopping at season 1 though.

        Past few nights I’ve done a few movies, Thunderbolts, Heads of State and the Amatuer.

          season 2 seems to have lost the plot, I watched the first 2 episodes and just did not care for it

            I experienced some of the story from season 2 from the game. It didn’t sit well with me to be honest and I heard the tv show has some problems in season 2

    I think I’m going to bail on that 1st birthday this weekend. The only people I know at this birthday are the parents and they’re going to be busy socialising with everyone, and I’ll probably feel awkward in this setting being childless. I’ll just message the day before that I’m sick and don’t want to spread germs. Does this make me a bad friend? I’ll plan a catch up with this friend in a few weeks and still give a present then.

    Yesterday on the way home I saw the fire brigade breaking out somebody stuck in one of the old cast iron toilets. Hope you all have a better day than that unfortunate person 😸

      Oooh I wanna know the whole story. I wonder how long they were there before they realised they needed proper help. Oh that poor person!

      When I was little I got my hand stuck in a trolley. All I heard was a staff member say “I’ll get the butcher”. My dad was a butcher. I knew what they did. I cried. The butcher brought out a tub of fat.

    I decided to check the status of my tax return and my voluntary super contribution has been reset to $0!!! Wtf! However, it’s still being processed (“Balancing accounts”) and I don’t want to slow anything down so I think I’ll just wait until it’s been finalised and maybe it’ll be added back in by then. I’ll be a very unhappy camper if I have to amend the lodgement and delay getting my money back…

        Yeah, I got the letter confirming the NOI and saw the deposit in my super balance minus 15% tax several days before I lodged my tax return. I didn’t enter a value for TFN under my super contributions (just the fund name, fund ABN and amount contributed) because I couldn’t find a TFN for the super fund (I assume that’s for SMSFs or something), so not sure if that was an issue.

        But, my ATO account has been a bit weird, random errors when logging in (not a scam) and there’s a new “payments” prompt at the top of my home page even though there should be nothing outstanding

        Edit: I’m a goose, the “debit” account in the payment prompt would be the amount I owe if I didn’t have deductions. Sooo I have no idea why it isn’t through yet. I’ll wait and see…

        I was going to be in that position due to an improperly taxed second job and a taxable cash scholarship, but dumped a load into super to get around it. I really need that tax return and not a tax bill, so it’d be nice to get that processed properly…

    Took the Minipeelers to Highpoint today and had a fun time topping up our supply of trackpants, T-shirts and other things that were not so practical lol. Some Lush products were purchased and bathing indulged in once we got home. The house smells a treat!

    I had a spot of cleaning mojo and vacuumed and mopped the floors. I now have nice clean floors but the kitchen’s too wet to go in and make a cuppa. Boo.

    I love how Temu tries to trick you into taking a credit on your account instead of getting a refund to your card. They tell you it will take days to repay to the card, but it actually goes through instantly. Plus they put in an extra pop up to try to get you to change it without realising that clicking on “get refund instantly” means getting an account credit instead of an actual refund.

    Oh well, I know their tricks and have the refund in my account and gave a bad review to the dodgy embroidery kit I was sent. I was actually a bit surprised that only one of them was actually dodgy, and because I didn’t have to return the kit I’ll be able to use the cotton on the stitch book I got that didn’t come with any, so that works out ok.

        They often don’t want it back, especially if it is low cost and you say it is defective instead of just change of mind. They also sometimes offer you a partial refund if you don’t return it, but ask you to send it back if you want the whole amount back. I also discovered tonight that when you put in a bad review for an item it prompts you to return it, and gives you an additional chance to return an item at no cost (normally you have to do all returns in each order in one go). Which was handy, I had something that seemed ok at the start but then didn’t actually work after I used it for a while, but I thought it was too late to return it.

          Yeah, also when she refused to bring her kids to the hospital after the staff were urging her to do so, when they thought the kids had eaten leftovers. (Due to her claiming so). Her excuse was ‘no I don’t want to upset them from school’. It meant she 100% knew she hadn’t fed any to the kids. Because what normal person wouldn’t be terrified their kids might have eaten some, and are about to suffer a horrific death? No. She knew what she did, and hadn’t served any to herself or the kids.
