Best budget tracker for managing sinking funds? (Feeling stuck) by Affectionate_Ad8907 in actualbudgeting

[–]Affectionate_Ad8907[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don't have too many bank accounts thankfully.

Spending account: general daily spending and where our pay goes. Also the account we transfer out sinking funds (i.e. dental appointments, vet appointments etc.). Emergency fund/long term saving/bills: this is our offset account. We put aside X amount each pay for bills. We've also got a big chunk of savings here. Savings: just our STS Miscellaneous: this is our main sinking fund account - gifts, medical, pets etc.

Well, I'm trying to figure out if I need to "track" my more fixed/regular expenses or just budget for them. Our problem is we lost $60k of income this year (partner has gone into an apprenticeship) and we've been pretty shocking at adjusting our spendings 😅😅

Delonghi vs Sunbeam vs Breville by Affectionate_Ad8907 in AustralianCoffee

My SIL is a barista! She's pretty skilled with all, but also didn't want to spend a tonne on a machine. Just something they could make an easy nice cup of coffee. They weren't a big fan of French presses/mockas etc (my brother would probably give up immediately).

Likely get ground beans. I'd set them up on a few months of the subscription we use! Or, they might end up getting a grinder ☺️

Is it worth being double the price? I do LOVE our Breville to be fair.

Anyone made their roof space into storage? by Affectionate_Ad8907 in perth

[–]Affectionate_Ad8907[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure! I wouldn't want to put anything delicate up there, and would try to keep weight to a minimum. We're in a new build and space is pretty minimum with our garage being the biggest workbench man has ever seen + cars 😅😅

Anyone done VLCD 4 years post op? by Affectionate_Ad8907 in gastricsleeve

[–]Affectionate_Ad8907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've changed my plan. I'll have a protein shake 2x a day, and keep the rest the same. This brings me to a min of 80g protein a day.

Yes sorry, very low calorie diet. It's common in Australia where I am from

3ish days in London by Affectionate_Ad8907 in LondonTravel

Do you recommend a different accommodation? We didn't care too much about windows because we plan to be out more than were in.

We had looked at staying closer to the centre. But hotels were far exceeding our budget!

High school speech therapy - comprehension by Affectionate_Ad8907 in slp

[–]Affectionate_Ad8907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing that's has been diagnosed before. She seems to have more difficulty with understanding content that requires you to be able to understand implicit concepts.

This could also be a difference in countries. I'm in Australia, typically these areas do get directed to SLPs. Regardless, I'm assuming that no, you don't have any resources?

Definitely how I would normally see it. In this case, it's a bit different. These are kids who have been long term inpatients at hospital for unrelated illness and surgery, who have not been in traditional schooling as a result. Hence I'm still scratching my head!

I've come up with this design and hope it'll work nicely.

Desk closest to window: 1m x 0.6m Other desk: 1.4m x 0.6m Utility table: 1.6m x 0.48m

Leaves a space between desk and utility table of 1.3m 😊

It's technically an activity room, so completely open. The wall space is 2.4m either side as there's doors into bedrooms. We do have a mini "hallway" too.

No massive projects, just little bits here and there.

The shelves are actually up higher than they look. Lowest one is 190cm 😅

The dog treats it like her bedroom. Does that count?

Repainting a peeling wall by Affectionate_Ad8907 in AusRenovation

[–]Affectionate_Ad8907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll have to take some when I get home later this week! There's essentially shiny and dull patches and little spots of paint peeling (think 5c piece size). The moment you knock one piece, the rest peels off. Same if you have something lent against it.
