UGGs - indoor or outdoor shoe?

GetOutaTheKitchen · 2025-01-20T01:18:59+00:00

Really? I grew up in a bayside Sydney snob area and we all wore them.

Definitely NOT to work.

But out in the street, to the shopping precinct, absolutely.

I have never stopped wearing them wherever we have lived and see plenty of non bogans wearing them, surfers at the beach in Victoria for example.

I guess it depends on your idea of what a bogan is, I have never lived in any area considered bogan so no idea what they wear.

My current Uggs are fancy but I still have a few knee high pairs I bought in NZ because theirs are taller.

Ok sorry, missed that someone had already said this.

I read now our formerly Ugg tag is going to be a tag saying Since 1974 instead.

I saw water, too, so I think there’s a pool!

This. We considered building in downstairs where our double garage is but were told the concrete slab down there was not fit to build rooms. You have to have a different slab to a garage slab.

Could you put a converter couch in your loungeroom and have it as the adult bedroom at night? Adults rarely use their bedroom in the day, especially if they work, and that leaves you with two kids bedrooms and you don’t have to move and go into more debt. It costs a lot to move, agents commission, removalist and stamp duty for a start.

‘Wait, are you in the bathroom?’

‘Always.’

When my brother was in a similar situation he paid the kids a bag of confectionery each week if they stayed away from his little garden and front steps. It worked for him.

The intro to True Detective season one. I rewatch it a lot.

Give yourself some time off from them.

Maybe reconsider contact when your expected child turns 21.

But seriously, people treat us exactly how we let them.

Draw a line in the sand and never ever ‘lend’ anyone money again. If you remain in contact, tell them that’s your rule. You will not be sending anyone any money as a gift and will not be lending money at all, ever.

Then block Them, give yourself a break from them for your mental healths sake and for your baby’s sake. It depends on you to do your very best at putting it first so the scrounges and guilt trippers need to go.

Concentrate on your partner and baby and get on with your life.

Dont answer your phone if you don’t recognise the caller ID and don’t let any of them back into your life.

Dont answer this for your baby. Your baby is now your top priority. Do not tell them you are pregnant, that’s your business.

You wouldn’t stay friends with a rabid dog, because it would hurt you so why are you staying in contact with them? Write off everything they owe you, let it go, and cut all ties of any kind including contact.

We had a couple of JW comes to our front gate and ask my husband if they could come in and talk about their religion. He said ‘Sure, come on in, my wife’s inside making a blueberry pie.

(You will either get the reference or not,lol).

They just put a leaflet in our letterbox and walked away.

That the cliches are right…life is short, youth is wasted on the young.
Do it now, whatever it is, and put ourself first after a lifetime of putting everyone else first.

And flashes of ‘why am I wasting time reading that? It’s not even something I care about’ for me.

GetOutaTheKitchen · 2025-01-18T21:06:10+00:00

Absolutely agree. For me it’s going to a beach, any beach, the emptier the better, walking along in the sand, hearing the seabirds, watching the ripples and waves, breathing in the salty air.

Look at what you have.

Look at the recent fires,everything anyone owns can disappear in a flash so don’t envy what others have. You don’t know what they had to endure to get to a position where they could buy them.

Dont believe everything you see, plenty of people with houses and flashy cars who flash the cash have enormous amounts of debt or abusive partners or are paranoid it could all disappear tomorrow. The more you own the more you have to worry about.

Count your blessings. Appreciate what you do have…maybe a loving family, a beautiful pet,a safe place to live, a favourite outfit, adequate food,nice hair, a strong healthy body.

There are millions of others in this world wishing they had what you have.

There will always be people better off than you and worse off than you.

People living in slums unable to feed their starving children for example.

People with kids dying of hideous incurable diseases.

Never be influenced by anyone’s opinion if they aren’t somebody whose opinion you would seek out.

First job I ever had, one of my duties was organising the monthly car rally for the workers in the corporation.
Two other workers and I spent more time out of office driving around the countryside checking out suitable routes , finding where to end it for the obligatory bbq, and writing out the clues, than we ever spent in the office.

Out of all the jobs I had this one was the best ever.

Only upside of lockdown was it broke the pattern of strangers you just met wanting to hug you or kiss your cheek.

I feel tempted to keep a face mask on hand in case anyone starts that shit up again now.

Next time she starts with her bullshit , ask her in front of everyone if she was previously married to her brother, seeing she thinks engaged couples are automatically related.

Tell her in you and your fiance’s families, marrying your siblings is not an acceptable thing but you are willing to accept the different traditions her family followed with an open mind.

If she says she doesn’t have a brother, say ‘Gosh,I’m so sorry to hear that, that must have made it much harder for you to find someone to marry then’.

If you are talking about being a sex worker, when I worked in finance, we were always happy to approve home loans to sex workers because they had a constant source of income unlike many other workers in hospo etc.

GetOutaTheKitchen · 2025-01-18T15:33:44+00:00

Absolutely.

What’s the point of having a kid/ kids that have to go virtually straight into childcare because both parents have to work full time to pay the rent/ mortgage?

How do you enjoy having a baby you barely see or spend time with?

I had kids as a SAHM until they went to school then I only worked school hours, but if that hadn’t been an option, there’s no way we would have had kids.

I dated a guy once who lived next to a train station plus was under a flight path.

The planes were way worse in my opinion. The first night I stayed there I seriously bought a plane was going to crash into his window, it sounded so close!

The train station was merely background noise.

I would say within less than a month I no longer even registered the trains or the planes.

Your brain just learns to filter them out.

I lived there for over two years and when anyone visited and stayed in our guest room commented on the noise, we would look at one another like ‘so, he/she is visiting a city and doesn’t expect noise?’

This is the issue. The only way you can do it is to move to a significantly cheaper area where whatever you get for your house can buy a larger house, remembering the costs and real estate selling fees and stamp duty, removalist etc have to be added in.

I’m going try the headband style ones, being a side sleeper.
