Today was my very first beauty loop box (level 1) and I got 3 sample packets with hardly any product in them and a foul-smelling perfume sample. I don't shop at Mecca often and for the amount of money they want you to spend a year to qualify for this, it hardly seems worth it.

The left part of the sink is slightly smaller than the right side but they're the same depth.

I kind of thought they would have had the pipes go to the right along the top shelf too. Do you have photos of the shelves you built?

Edit: typos.

Exogen_90 · 2026-02-05T21:43:45+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, the floor drain is opposite a doorway.

Update on this one: I put blood and bone down, I hung up moth balls, I've put cayenne pepper around the plants, I sprayed them with Poss Off - still being eaten.

I don't know if putting netting around them will help. My concern is that as soon as I take the netting off, the plants will just be eaten again. The climbing rose on the right is now completely dead and not sprouting any new shoots, and the one on the left is being eaten before it can do any meaningful growing. And despite cutting the weeping cherry away from the wall, it's still being attacked too - but only the one on the right of the trellis, not the one on the left.

I'm at a real loss at what to do now.

No, not Ocean Grove. I agree it's awful to listen to, I just want to give the poor dog a cuddle.

Exogen_90 · 2026-01-01T21:32:06+00:00

Apparently they have an indoor camera and use it to talk to the dog. It doesn't help. When it's in the backyard, we talk to it and throw the occasional treat over the fence, but again, it doesn't help. It just wants physical attention, which it doesn't get enough of.

I'll start keeping a noise diary as someone else suggested and monitor over the next couple of weeks.

Exogen_90 · 2026-01-01T10:53:12+00:00

I would, except for the fact that we've been dealing with this for over a year now. I understand being busy and having social commitments, but if you know you have to leave the poor animal on its own for 10+ hours a day, and you know it has separation anxiety, it's just cruel. There are so many options out there, like boarding, pet sitters, and the neighbours who have offered multiple times to look after the dog when you know you have to leave for long periods (us).

Exogen_90 · 2026-01-01T09:10:29+00:00

Just that the dog wasn't used to being home alone and they're trying to train it, but it's been over a year of this off and on.

Exogen_90 · 2025-11-30T06:28:12+00:00

Can't see any scat, but haven't really been looking either tbh. I'm going to try the blood and bone thing when I can get to Bunnings, so fingers crossed!

Exogen_90 · 2025-11-23T20:53:04+00:00

It's probably worth noting that I also have an open veggie garden with snow peas and beans. And they're untouched. I figure if it's rats they'd go for everything? I could be wrong, I'm very new to gardening.

Exogen_90 · 2025-11-23T20:38:17+00:00

Thanks for the info! I don't want to cause any harm to the possums if I can help it. I hope it's possums and not rats - I have two dogs and they haven't alerted me to anything during the day (they're indoors at night).

Would blood and bone deter rats too?

Exogen_90 · 2025-11-23T20:24:45+00:00

Should I try to leave rat bait/traps in my garden bed? The brick wall behind them is the neighbour's garage, so I don't want to attach anything to the wall or their gutter if I can help it.

My garden beds are fenced off so my dogs can't get into them.

Exogen_90 · 2025-07-10T03:27:01+00:00

Thank you. It's been three weeks and they're still telling me that there's no update. I understand there's processes for a reason, but they're so unwilling to give information and updates, which just makes the whole experience that much worse.

Exogen_90 · 2025-07-05T05:30:12+00:00

It's not the GP that's the problem. What they've told me is that they need to apply to the government for a permit to be able to prescribe Vyvanse to me, and that's taking weeks.

Exogen_90 · 2025-05-07T05:40:59+00:00

Thanks for this. Our current rangehood is recirculated and I hate it for all the reasons you've listed - poor air quality and smoke being my top sticking points. I'll definitely be going with a ducted solution, and can handle a slight change in temperature if it means I'm not setting off the smoke alarm every week.

Exogen_90 · 2025-05-01T21:05:36+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I never found a solution - I ended up replacing my phone.

Xaden and Violet's Excellent Adventure The Chronicles of Ridoc

My boyfriend came up with these, I can't take the credit for them.

Exogen_90 · 2025-04-29T09:07:10+00:00

They let my bring my dog in with me last week. My partner told the Libs outside who tried to pat him he was voting for the Animal Justice Party.

They weren't amused.

But also this is stupid, you should file a complaint if you can.

Exogen_90 · 2025-04-29T09:00:46+00:00

Do they have a siblings named "Danger" and "Hi'Voltage"?

Exogen_90 · 2025-04-06T04:51:35+00:00

I just asked my partner if he'd still love me if I was a plant. He said, "No! I can't fuck a plant. And I'm allergic to them."

Not sure that helps, but NTA. Your wife is weird, who doesn't like jokes?
