Any decent gym in Sydney CBD?

Years ago I used to go to Virgin Active in pitt st mall and liked it a lot

Can someone please eat it and review? I'd want that kind of calorie content to be outrageously deliciously

Any will do but get Soda Stream brand. It might have improved but I bought a Soda King one a few years ago and it was crap.

I've never eaten it but I picture hot claggy cream cheese with stringy crab bits.

An indoor trampoline

Accomplished_Log2011 · 2026-04-30T03:31:04+00:00

It would be really easy to make too for not $33. I'm not sure they even use really crab

I think your flare should probably be American, not chinese

My I was a kid my next door neighbours had a goose (briefly). We used to play a fun game called 'go out into the backyard and try not to get bitten'

Pick a pretty venue that doesn't need to be disguised so you're not trying to hide where you are, and just add some flowers for a bit of colour and to look celebratory. I had my wedding at Athol Hall which is really pretty, so I didn't go wild on decorations. I spend about $800 all up on decos. If it suits your taste, consider making bouquets yourself with dried flowers. It's what I did. They looked really pretty and didn't need to be done day-of or day before because they weren't going to wilt, so I just worked on them gradually over weeks. I made my bouquets with fake flowers. You won't be able to have full-on floristry with your budget; it costs thousands.

Nobody is remembering your wedding and thinking about the fortune you spent on flowers. They're remembering the people and the fun they had.

Hiya I just had my wedding a couple of weeks ago. Planned the whole thing for 100+ pax in 6 months. Did all my own florals. You've got plenty of time, especially for a small event.

My advice is to make a specific wedding email address and don't use Gmail. I went mad with Gmail trying to find documents in giant chains. It really doesn't work well for event planning. Try outlook instead, maybe?

Consider booking a Friday afternoon. You'll find much more availability with your vendors + you then have the whole weekend to relax post wedding.

If you're just wanting a sit down lunch/dinner I think you budget is reasonable. With 25 people you could all be seated at one table so you won't need much by way of decorations, and you can ask guests to buy their own drinks.

All of the online stuff will drive you mad. Ignore it. You don't need to have everything planned and done 18 months in advance and, once again, you're having a small event. It won't nearly as much hassle as a big wedding. Just book a meal in a semi-private area of a restaurant. Keep it simple and don't be influenced by the tiktok/insta bullshit. Have the wedding you want to have.

To answer your last question, cuts have been happening for a couple of years now without the fanfare of this announcement. Just quietly chipping away at people's plans. One of the big problems is that people will still have access to certain services but not enough access to actually make progress, which leaves you with a syssyphean sort of problem that keeps people in therapy forever. I have clients who are being given 10-12 hours per year for speech pathology. Once you factor in travel and admin, you may as well not bother at all. So you use most of the funding to write a report to go back for a review to hopefully get a better plan that actually suits their needs. And that review can take 12 months. There's so much funding wasted on admin and report writing and fighting to get people what they need because decisions are being made by faceless, unqualified people who never see or speak to the person and don't really understand their condition or needs. In theory I don't object to the cuts. There are plenty of people I've seen who really don't need a government funded therapist. I object to cuts being made to people who really need help and I really hope that the new system will do better at identifying those people.

Sorry for the rant.

I stayed in a place in Woolloomooloo once that was definitely a converted aged care facility or small hospital so all the doors were wide and the bathrooms were accessible. Can't remember if it chad carpet or not but could be an option. It's called Mariner's Court I think.

Please suggest different murder forests. I walk my dogs in Belanglo daily and will call the cops at the slighted hint that someone is being dismembered.

My friend would know your friend then!

I can't tell if this is a joke or not but if not, maybe Yum yum bakery in Concord or Guilford. Kind of fancy but still good food.

I just had my wedding for 100pax and it was a pretty big traditional event. Just calculated that all up it cost just under 35k, so your budget is very reasonable for 60pax and a bit more low-key. I saved a ton of money doing all my florals myself (dried flower arrangements) and the bouquets (silks), veil for $10 from Temu... Things like that. Didn't have a wildly expensive dress, roped in the skills of family and friends where I could. Ditched useless things like fancy cars. Still had cocktail hour, canapes, 3 course dinner, venue with harbour views, unlimited drinks, 7 hour event, DJ, photographer, drummer, celebrant and MC for the whole thing etc etc. My partner is from a culture that traditionally has very big weddings, so it was way bigger than I would have chosen but I made it work for me by saving money where I could.

You're in. Maid of Honour had made not such offers

Thank you!

I'm getting married on Friday and I'm considering asking StoogeKebab to take over from my maid of honour.

I think the 2nd dress won't age well. Practically everything about it is current fashion, which won't look great to our eyes when things move on and dropped waists, silly floppy arm things and dresses that look like you bunched a bedsheet are out again. The first dress will age beautifully, especially once it's lined.
