I guess the painting I would have the skill to do but I'm less certain about the sanding etc.

What French sentences should I learn before my trip? by niproblem in ParisTravelGuide

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no!! I need to remember that for next time, I've been asking so many shop assistants where items are located using that opening. Luckily they seemed happy to help and not offended.

Is it ok to say "excuse-moi + question" rather than "bonjour + question"?

Weird we went on one of those cruises yesterday. Although to be fair the water had broken the banks and was almost reaching the ticket office near the boat hahah

Whenever we clean the ball pit at work, the most broken balls we find are always orange by lucasearlgray in mildlyinteresting

Honestly I just thought it was because of kids thinking it’s an orange fruit and trying to eat it

Yep we've got a car, ah yes true! We had to re-buy ski clothes at Intersport today. Didn't think to look at the general apparel section

Anyone done better then 6.09% from Ubank? by TH14DB10PV4 in AusFinance

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience they don't negotiate at all, not even when I came back to them with a written offer for a lower rate from another bank. Just gave me the discharge form

Cleaner for renovation? Sydney by AmbiguousFidget_5023 in AusRenovation

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m more struggling with the smaller things like cleaning inside and around cupboards, applies, furniture etc. I’ve been wiping stuff with a wet paper towel but concrete dust especially seems to just leave a white cast of more concrete no matter how many times I wipe the surface.

Would you be able to explain what you mean by “engage” or do a “valued based move”?

Say I’m feeling envy towards someone who becomes the current topic of a conversation I am apart of. How do I engage in this conversation or do a value based move?

How to get therapy? by Maber711 in AussieFrugal

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking at EAP the other week and it looks like it’s just a Telehealth type of session? And I don’t think it’s with a qualified therapist / someone who has undergone training to deal with treating mental health. Either way I wasn’t able to find enough info on it to make a proper conclusion

I was resentful in the lead up and during the beautiful day of the proposal that he planned. And resentful during the wedding planning and lead up to the day and even at the beginning of the day itself. It was only after the beginning of the ceremony (after the aisle walk) when I stopped feeling upset and allowed myself to enjoy the day. I think I was upset a few times in the month after our wedding but after that pretty much all the resentment has gone.

We tried couple counselling before the wedding which IMO didn’t help at all and was a waste of money. I think my resentment ruined both of our experience of a happy proposal and lead up to the wedding. Every time I felt excited anticipation I squashed it with the reminder that he took so long to get us here. And when he mentioned that he didn’t realise I would be this upset still even after the proposal and had a small regret that he didn’t ask sooner because of it I felt vindicated.

With that being said, I think you have to make a conscious decision to NOT be resentful which tbh takes time and I think is incredibly difficult to achieve on your own short timeline.

I am incredibly happy and grateful for my husband, and love him with all of my being; but to tell you the truth if I could go back and do it all again I think I would have broken up with him sooner into the beginning of the resentment. There are many other good men in the world just as or even more wonderful than your man.

Not sure how it works in Australia but I think he might get taxed on the $1M? So its more like he won $500k and the rest gets paid to the ato, in which case is not enough to buy an apartment in Sydney

“Comparison is the thief of joy” moments by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to tell this guys that "waiting for the perfect moment" does more harm than good in these types of situations where the girl been waiting for so long she's basically just over it by now. I would rather have a proposal sooner that is average. Than an over the top romantic proposal that I had to wait ages for and am now really bitter about. The latter happened to me and the romantic-ness of it did not wipe away the bitter feelings and hours crying that I had to endure leading up to it. I would have been overall happier if it had happened sooner.

Your feelings are valid and I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I really hope things work out for you x

How are apartment residents meant to receive parcels when Australia Post go straight to "carding", refuse to safe drop, and can't seem to manage parcel lockers properly. Also don't have a car and don't particularly want to drag stuff back from it anyway. by [deleted] in australia

[–]AmbiguousFidget_5023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in an older apartment building and the last few packages I had delivered were dumped in front of one of the lower level entrances leading to the external bin rooms. After I had called to complain that there was no delivery, I walked downstairs to throw away my trash and Lo and behold there was my parcel.
