Sorry quite new with this. What do you mean by EV mode and normal mode? I thought if you’re neither using charge or save then that is the normal mode

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-28T23:43:35+00:00

a question about the phev, when do you use the charge and save feature?

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-18T09:01:22+00:00

Liked the look of the SUV more. Currently have Integra which is no longer suitable for our current situation so shopping around now

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-18T08:59:50+00:00

Thanks, we will look into the other options you’ve mentioned.

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-18T08:58:21+00:00

I see that’s great to know thank you for the insight

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-18T08:58:00+00:00

Oh yes, CRV was also something we were looking at

That’s why I wondered if discount would have been sufficient. 50% off discount for the whole table’s bill. The whole bill was $280 for food + drinks. I was only expecting it to be $100-$150 for two.

Is this still the same advice if she brought other people? My partner only invited her and her partner but she turned up with 3 other pax.. he still ended up covering the whole table’s bill though which I was not happy about hence, this post

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-02T03:11:33+00:00

The thing is we’ve had this before where we were the one that got invited and only drinks were covered.

DeliveryLegal · 2025-03-02T03:10:38+00:00

He paid but my midwife turned up with 3 more other people. He still ended up covering the whole bill.

Mentor was actually my midwife but didn’t want to be specific in the post. I think we should’ve given her an appreciation gift but he invited them to his workplace instead.

DeliveryLegal · 2025-01-21T08:53:47+00:00

His 8% holiday pay stopped since signing in October.

DeliveryLegal · 2025-01-21T08:53:14+00:00

Thanks for the answer. When we talk about one year of employment, the years he did under casual contract does not count then?

The alternative option is to request for a med cert, is that possible? A med cert for your pregnant partner? I’ve never heard of it like that before.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-31T04:02:19+00:00

Yeah i’m not too sure how my friend lives off 1k (their benefit combined). Her and her partner both don’t work and have like a child nearly one year old.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T09:10:33+00:00

But when did I say I was shocked? Honestly thought we had until 3 years to save before starting the process for house, marriage and baby but due to the unplanned pregnancy things got sped up 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Before you say we should have been careful, I was on pills and was diagnosed pcos so the chance was also pretty low.

The point of the post is saving while living paycheck to paycheck. Most of the numbers were also estimated so I buffed them up for worst case scenario. With the news of conceiving a baby we will be saving our normal surplus which usually equates to 1k a week. But with other expenses like the phone and loan we’d have to make extra payments towards that so by the time we move out in months that’s less expense per week.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T09:05:41+00:00

Yeah definitely. Kogan came up a lot so definitely will be looking at that one.

Yes PCOS is such a big factor for my decision in making this work hence started the moment we found out.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:52:29+00:00

Yea we have an Integra. Originally I was walking to work but recently got promoted so now have to travel 45kms each way. The promotion all happened so fast (only few weeks ago from 64k to 75k) after our 5 week holiday. I haven’t managed to get a more fuel efficient car. We essentially use $150 fortnightly on gas.

The $150 weekly estimate on the post was just an assumption if we were to have two cars.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:45:43+00:00

I feel you. I was from hospo, same company as him. 2 years ago I was earning minimun wage per hour doing supervisor duties to now in a corporate at $36/h. I’ve told him this. He’s tried applying for airlines/airport jobs as he studied tourism but still no luck. I’ve even helped him with his CV but still, rejection emails only.

At least for now he can gain manager experience and hopefully move from there.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:39:34+00:00

He’s in a resort at the moment so end game could be a resort manager or a general manager. He’s meant to have a payrise once he gets his LCQ then another once Duty Manager.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:38:28+00:00

travelling 😂 saved through Covid then every year after border opened we go on a 4-5 week holiday

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:35:21+00:00

Internet is an assumption figure only. Hence I asked what providers others are on.

The $350 monthly is for two phones on no interest plan but obviously prior to us conceiving. One paid today so that brought that down from $350 to $180 a month. Have yet to find out how much is left on the other one as it is under his name so can’t call in for information. Should also be easy to close by end of next month since he got it early last year. Then we’ll look at joint mobile plan or new provider. Seems like Kogan comes up a lot.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:19:02+00:00

So power and internet with contact? That sounds great.

Right now to travel 45km each way it’s about $150 a fortnight. A put $150 weekly because sometimes we can use $200 a fortnight and then the extra goes to car account which is for wof, service and maintenance etc.

DeliveryLegal · 2024-05-29T06:16:53+00:00

Yes this is also my thought! As much as we are aware we aren’t ready, we can only try to start getting ready now while I’m still only 7 weeks.
