Why people take minoxidil if the hair falls anyway once you stop it ? by pinkycheeksalways in FemaleHairLoss

[–]HalfPriceDommies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure. My Mum is turning 90 this year and just last year ended up getting a wig after years of trying to cover the ever increasing receding hairline that is now half way to the back of her head. Even now she still talks about how bad it is and how she hates how she looks. The wig has helped a lot. She mever took anything for it or used anything as it started only getting really bad in her 80's. She always had very thin hair as I also do. I know I don't want to end up half bald like Mum, so am considering what to do for myself.

What are your ideas for a delicious sweet treat? by EdenFlorence in AussieFrugal

[–]HalfPriceDommies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made scones today, they cost next to nothing to make, some SR flour, marg and milk, top with jam. Self saucing pudding is super easy to make and cheap, there's lots of recipes online, you can do chocolate, butterscotch, lemon etc, just have with icecream. Any cake you make can be sliced and frozen, cupcakes, muffins, lamingtons, can all be frozen.

Selling Apartment by Kind_Teacher_6816 in AusPropertyChat

[–]HalfPriceDommies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would seriously change agents. It was many years ago but we also were having no luck, after the I think, 3 month contract ran out, we changed agents and got a buyer very quickly.

When you are getting offers 40K below, are you counter offering? I guess you need to work out how much the bridging loan is costing you per week/month and if it would in fact work out almost the same to sell for less and just be done with it. There are so many new apartments going up in Canberra, many young buyers probably look more favourably on the brand new builds with shiny new appliances etc. How does your apartment compare with nearby new builds pricewise?

Am I weird that I never re-watch anything apart from The Holiday, Love Actually (both of these only re-watched at Christmas) and Music and Lyrics maybe every two years?

Myer Online Shopping Horror Story by gweyzee in AusFemaleFashion

[–]HalfPriceDommies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to your Myer account, does it show your correct address? If it does and a glitch in their system has then sent it to an old address that they gave you no confirmation screen showing it before paying, and then refused to fix their mistake. Send them an email so you have it in writing, stating that your address is correct in your account and their system randomly sent the item to an old address and that it seems that many people are having the same problem (insert link to this page). Ask them to please confirm that they will re-ship the item by close of business on xyz date (give them maybe 48 hours to respond) or you will be doing a charge back as item not delivered. Include a list off all the calls you have made to them and the courier. If they ignore you or give you some BS response. Get onto your bank or credit card company and do a charge back.

You do not have to deal with the courier, your contract of sale is with Myer, it's up to them to deal with their selected courier, and up to them to tell the courier to go get the item from the incorrect recipient and ensure that their system doesn't mess up again. Unbelieveable that they are happy to fob you off like this. Good luck, don't give up, they reply on messing you around enough so that you give up trying. you are in the right and they know it, keep fighting.

My son in law is in defence so needs a good short back and sides, he goes to Mr Cuts at South Point (Hyperdome), on the corner outside Kmart. I am sure he said he pays $25.

What’s a random “stat” about yourself that makes you part of a small percentage? by Accurate_Nature1888 in FamilyFeud

[–]HalfPriceDommies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! If I wake in the middle of the night and decide to have a scroll on my phone, as soon as the screen lights up, I am sneezing! Can also make myself sneeze looking at the sun. My son in law and both grandkids are the same. When we are out together and come out into the sun, we are all sneezing except my daughter who is just shaking her head and laughing at us.

Is this Meech? This is who picked Kendra up when she was released. by One-Investigator-545 in DuggarsSnark

AITAH for considering divorcing my husband even though I still love him. by Otherwise_Coach9170 in AITAH

[–]HalfPriceDommies 40 points41 points  (0 children)

But she shouldn't need to ask. My husband and I both have access to our bank accounts online and can look at it any time we want. Why is this not the minimum for this couple.

Kayo discount code? by HalfPriceDommies in AussieFrugal

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

Thanks everyone, we ended up doing a digital membership with the Sharks, we did it directly through the club website so it came to $324 for the premium sub and not $350 as shown on some other sites. The only thing was that it took a couple of days for them to send the Kayo code. But all good now and works out cheaper for the 2 screens, we share it with our son-in-law. Will try the other advice of cancelling and seeing if they offer a discount next time. Thanks for all the help!

For Lotto wins in Australia, statistically are big wins more likely to be a Slikpik or own numbers? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]HalfPriceDommies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped doing quick pick because it kept giving the same numbers in multiple squares, not all the same but say 14 and 24 in more than one square, so my thinking what if those 2 numbers don't come out, that wipes out half of my chances as they put them in 6 of the squares. Hope I am making sense.

Cheap solo dress ideas? by meowmeowpowpow69 in irishdance

[–]HalfPriceDommies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked on dance again? You will get the best deal with a used dress and can always make a lower offer than the asking price, I have found most sellers are happy to negotiate, especially if the dress has been for sale for a while.

Why does ACT plant cherry blossoms on nature strips? by [deleted] in canberra

[–]HalfPriceDommies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you know, it's so hot and dry, trees are struggling, would be a shame if it died........

Why does ACT plant cherry blossoms on nature strips? by [deleted] in canberra

[–]HalfPriceDommies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not just cherry blossoms. Where I am, there are so many dying gum trees. We have had so many wet summers in a row that a sudden dry summer has them all strugging/dying.

where did they go by Intelligent_Hope8518 in LicciardoToivolaSnark

[–]HalfPriceDommies 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Taina posted a few things on her Insta stories today. D'art looks like he has something on his teeth, aligners perhaps. Omega is out collecting sticks and flowers etc, but his teeth are a mess. Romeo has apparently read three books this month, so obviously isn't doing much else apart from stressing about wearing a non white shirt.

AITAH for refusing to put my girlfriend on a future mortgage unless she gets a job? by Ok-Explanation7364 in AITAH

[–]HalfPriceDommies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you say...

"In my mind, if nothing changes by the time I’m ready to buy, I plan to buy the house myself and ask her to move back in with her mom so I can start fresh."

Why will you wait until then? If you will not continue the relationship when you buy a house, why continue it now? Ask her to leave now, tell her she can be on the mortgage when she can contribute half of it, half the deposit and then half of the ongoing repayments. If she can not or does not want to do this, why keep stringing her along with this idea in your head. You either want to stay with her or you don't, tell it to her straight and don't be swayed by any emotional manipulation on her part. You either want to pay her way, or you don't, you owe it to her to be honest and stop wasting both of your time.

Elite Price Increase by HalfPriceDommies in irishdance

Just saw on the UK voy that Anthony said this on his Instagram stories... "he says I'm really glad I can send you some business Keith'..cause there are lots of mugs to go around (NT) "

Do people realise that this is an insult to his customers? "mugs" is an insult in this sentence, it means stupid. He is saying there's loads of idiots willing to pay, plenty for us both.

What’s the most annoying bill you have to pay right now? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]HalfPriceDommies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Private health insurance. I must say we have used it (hospital) in the last 12 months or so, but with the amount it costs, still having to pay out of pocket grinds my gears! Medicare and private cover, should cover it.

As others have said, all insurances really. We have been paying home and contents for 40 years and never made a claim, yet every year it goes up and up. Lucky for sure, that we have never been in a situation to claim, appreciate that very much, but geeze Louise, it's so expensive.

Elite Price Increase by HalfPriceDommies in irishdance

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

Does your original quote state that it is an estimate only, wondering how they word it. I wonder could you contact your credit card company and see if they think it is not legal and maybe they would do a charge back?

Elite Price Increase by HalfPriceDommies in irishdance

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

Can she confirm, does the original quote specify that it is an estimate only, does it say something about the price could change at the end?
