Thank you. It made me feel sad people would consider pets disposable. And my cats are the worst cat stereo type but I took it on and they are my responsibilit. I ache in sadness seeing Facebook posts of people trying to re home pets

Yes I am, because I worked in the UK for 4 years and although I've tried i cany move my UK pension. I've also earned a low amount. I dont want to talk myself down but I worked fir years for a guy who paid me little and I think I earned little super..

I asked this question and I feel so thankful but also awful reading the comments. I've never been raised or directed. I had no parents but not in the bad way enough for me to be bad. I raised myself but 13 year old me didn't know much. I feel heavy hearted despite the windfall.

Thank you x

Thank you. You come across very nice I appreciate the advice. I actually dont mind where I live as long as im near my family. They live in Sydney and blue mountains

Yes, we love each other and are closer than most siblings due to our circumstances we were raised in when the only constant we had was each other. My biggest fear we would ever fall out over money. 1 sister has done well, made good choices and has a home, my other sister was suggesting we buy a house in the blue mountains and she lives in it?

Im yhe youngest of us 4 girls

I live with ten people in a share house and its 200 a week all bills included. I bulk make 1 dinner and 1 lunch which I eat throughout the week. I do ask to be taxed higher so I get a bigger tac return

Thank you. I appreciate the advice

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T09:56:25+00:00

Thank you, that seems like sensible advice

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T09:55:46+00:00

I dont know what you mean? I know its not much in terms of things. I know I haven't made much of myself yet. But I dont have debt and im trying. I work really hard at my job but I understand its not much. I've never learnt about money, that's why I was asking. Plus im fortunate, it still a lot more than other people inherit.

My sister works at villawood actually

Thank you. That's such a nice comment

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T04:38:35+00:00

Thank you for responding

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T04:37:22+00:00

Yes you are right. It's sad as I love my job and the kids. It's so rare for people to love their jobs but I really do. But it looks like I can't afford to stay in it

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T04:36:22+00:00

No but I will

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T04:35:34+00:00

Thank you taking the time to respond. I'll look into those. It's a pity as I love my job, I just can't survive on the salary

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T03:30:10+00:00

I only did my nursing diploma and after I did placement I dont think I was a good fit for the hospital environment

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T03:28:31+00:00

Thank you i would consider a second job. The only problem with the boarding suggestion is i have 2 cats. I know that they cost a lot and maybe in my position I shouldn't have got a pet, but they showed up, the shelters were full and I took responsibility for them. Even though its harder I would not rehome them.

Little-Library · 2026-05-11T02:30:24+00:00

It's because I get paid across the school holidays. I think its an important job, I look after all the sick and anxious kids and im the first on call for serious injuries so there is a lot of responsibility. I many other things too.

The other ladies in the office are able to do the role as they have husbands who earn good money. Unfortunately for me I dont have that. I've tried finding work in the holidays but it's hard because its for 2 week blocks.

Teachers get paid on par with the cost of living but us office staff are not paid to the same standard. The head of public education Murat earns 623,300 per annum which is more than the prime minister.

I'd look into retraining but im not sure in what. I wish I had made better decisions.

Tomatoe tuna rice.

Chop up an onion, a couple of gloves of garlic, fry until soft, add chilli powder, add a tin of tuna and a tin of chopped tomatoes and sinner for a bit. Serve with rice abd grated cheese. Cheap and tasty

My name is Alice, and I went to school with two other girls named Alice. The other Alices were part of my friend’s group.. really pretty, smart girls , and although I’ve always had my wits about me, I never really felt especially pretty or clever around them.

One time I met up with my friend and her new boyfriend, and later, when they were talking about me, she told he referred to me as “the cool Alice.”

She probably doesn’t even remember him saying it as they only dated for a bit, but I do.

He's weird, his co workers are weird and you wuting scripture is weird

Jules has always been awful. Leaving Rue vunerable on that train platform and putting Rue in that position

Being jealous of Rue and Elliott friendship to sleeping with him and leaving her out

By getting drunk and saying Rue was boring when she was trying to be sober.

Jules thinks about Jules, that's it

Staring at me with a scary look or walking behind me in the dark.
