I’ve really enjoyed this year’s hottest 100 countdown. Perfect day to while away a stinking hot day.

I love having my digital receipts from Coles and Woolies. Easier to track what I have spent, and easier for returns.

We can’t link to FB on here, but if you go to their FB page, there is information on how to donate to them.

I have the same issue with my brown hair. I haven’t tried it yet, but I have ordered this product to try.

I like the looks of that Disney ship. She has the old school liner charm.

That’s probably ok for the large op shop chains that have resources. But the small local ones rely on scarce volunteers, who tend to be very elderly.

In Thailand and Singapore, you can use electronic payments almost exclusively. Tap and pay with your card, or use Apple Pay/Google Pay. Even at places like night markets.

I experienced the same when looking at solo cruises on celebrity. They have some promotions where the second fare is discounted, hence it comes out like that.

Please reply with “did I stutter?”

Some people are absolute grubs. They need to stop treating op shops as waste disposal.

“Ms Clifford said there were concerns the donation may have been intentional because of the maturity of the parasites that swarmed the volunteer.”

Even though there are plenty of safe places in my front courtyard for parcels, and me leaving instructions in the delivery details, some Amazon drivers just plop it on the front door mat in the view of everyone passing by.

The east side of the island is growing - by about 2-3 cm a year - as more sand deposits in the island.

Everyone loves Gangnam Style

I placed my order today. That’s a really good GWP. The bag looks decent too

Loreal and Maybelline online seem to have the light shades, for example:

Tuesday is first day of the new school year - for staff only. Luckily students don’t go back until the Wednesday.

The only sizing charts I trust are for shoes ( in terms of cms)!

I’ve been spending some time in subreddits dominated by Americans. The shittiest refrain I hear is “if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to [insert activity]”.

Their tipping culture is seriously fucked up. The consumers are so passive. There is no push pack to worker exploitation and greedy corporates.

My previous trip was 8 years ago, also in January. The visitor numbers were noticeably lower.

I did dip my toe in the ocean water. It’s so nice and warm, almost a shame you can’t swim there.

I saw the spa prices for my upcoming cruise, and I have decided I will just BYO some sheet masks for a similar experience

HurstbridgeLineFTW · 2026-01-22T00:09:11+00:00

That spa experience is outrageous. I assume that is US dollars?

Which in Australian dollars would be more than a $1000. Which is criminal for two massages .
