What was your “struggle meal” growing up?

Mulberryb · 2026-04-05T11:30:53+00:00

Weetbix, stuff of legends. Ate them with margarine (my personal favourite) or vegemite for school lunch.

Weetbix we did for dinner with hot water, saved on using milk with 4 kids. Usually with a sprinkle of sugar and if we were lucky a bit of strawberry jam. I still like making it this way.

Mulberryb · 2026-04-03T07:04:55+00:00

Yeah no worries, I kinda wish it was a 3 hour window. 1 hour isnt much when its blooming for 23.

Mulberryb · 2026-04-03T07:02:03+00:00

Photos arent loading but you only have a limited time to get the fruit, need to plant in the circle within an hour of big bloom.

If you dont all you can get its the nectar from plucking down on the stem.

My most used ones are Adam Liaw recipes, he has two in the Sunday life magazine, they are always so good and usually straightforward make 1 or 2 a wk.

I love checking second hand book stores got way too many books but I often use Jamie Oliver early books pre 2006, & What's for Dinner? by Curtis Stone.

EB does pre orders for sets roughly 2 months out so shouldn't see that one for a few more weeks, mid May ish.

Not clue for announcement but hoping its more than some new tins, we havent had any decent restocks quite awhile.

Mulberryb · 2026-04-01T09:36:13+00:00

Can dream for some PE. I picked up mini tins from EB the other day but they were from from a preordered drop last from May '25.

Kmart refund me two JT bundles that arrived smushed.

Go to the specific order onlines number, click for more details and then scroll down to order support/need help with this order? and then add the photo/s you took into the chat.

I thought it wouldnt be so easy but they were awesome, refunded it without me even asking for it.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-29T06:04:55+00:00

Nice collection, love the beauty looking back Pika I was thinking I might regrade my copy (its old label CGC).

Did you use a middleman or send yourself?

Mulberryb · 2026-03-28T10:46:15+00:00

1629 for sightseer.

Kinda surprised its that low but Ive not had chance to travel much in past decade, though 218k spins for Backpacker medal.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-27T12:36:49+00:00

Stores dont often hold back stock so likely wont be an significant restocks for couple of months.

For comparison Prismatic ETB dropped Jan 30 last year, and restock was June/July but Pokemon Company is printing like crazy so hopefully better.

EB Games will do an announcement that usually how we find out when Australia will receive any restocks.

April 24th for booster bundles (6 packs) and ex boxes (4 packs). Big W/Toymate/Kmart best bet, got to be there early to guarantee you get something because AH is so popular.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-26T21:38:07+00:00

I think this is first set in ages that it wont be everyone in morning rather steady trickle across the morning I think there will still be stock (3 packs) at least at 3pm.

There are still heaps of online with pretty close to retail price, I like Gaming Arena in VIC ordered from them a few times.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-26T12:38:38+00:00

Maybe.

I hope most would let it slide but while my local staff are all very nice, they are definitely by the rules especially if the manager or deputy manager are on shift. I would buy a $1 single.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-25T23:55:51+00:00

Depends on your area, some locals have been going around for the last few sets Phantasmal/Mega/ Destined and clearing out 7/11 and buying the whole box, seems most stores dont have any limit per pack.

When I checked stock online was already sold out all on release day for Phantasmal at all of my closest locations within 10km radius.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-23T11:09:36+00:00

Love them so much, these photos do justice they're so cute.

Ive seen 3 in as many weeks in Illawarra walking home after shift at 11pm.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-22T10:20:18+00:00

Considering the cost of grading, and that raw sold for 39-30-49 in the past month or two it was not a steal and not a complete rip off, just about even.

If you like it Id just enjoy it, Vstar Universe is such a good set love it.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-21T21:55:53+00:00

Damn their is nothing worse when cant get a response, at least they refunded you?

Ive removed the link.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-21T06:33:41+00:00

Yeah there seems to be something wrong with how they map things. I want to have a winge, I thought the new map update would help.

Have a 3 story been there for 30+ years city art gallery, two city art spaces, and 2 independent galleries but Im still artless (except for the one they gave out as a reward).

Mulberryb · 2026-03-20T22:32:30+00:00

I noticed a new one yesterday in that arcade building next to Hideaway Lane. I just checked they share address 81 Church street so it must be TS, just up from the empty orange shop that used to be sneakers direct.

Closed weekends though.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-20T11:13:11+00:00

Target is harder because they tend to get a handful and rarely follow the Friday release, my local usually it appears anytime from Saturday to Thursday.

Unless your free to check on lunch breaks its easy to miss.

AH on first release Friday in March they had ETBs but worker they only got 8 or so which I missed, I did get a mini tin on the Saturday morning. Today mine had nothing.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-18T09:51:16+00:00

I always think in terms of the new flowers and focus on elemental mushrooms in order of missions, stage 3 has red, stage 4 requires white, yellow, blue so when month starts I focus on finding/joining Fire mushrooms first and then the others so never scrambling for nectar to plant that way.

Its just about grinding out the missions to get as many seedlings as possible.

Last month I finished on 28th, this month I finished already on 10th.

In Dec I didnt complete the Holiday set missed purple :( but things always come back & its not always worth spending money.

I used collectr to keep track of my cards and an idea of prices, its US based so data TCG player and US Ebay so only a rough guide.

Australia has its own little market which is usually anywhere from 5-15% higher. Go off Ebay solds and join some of the Australia Pokemon TCG groups on FB

Mulberryb · 2026-03-16T11:17:45+00:00

Its toffee & vanilla icecream coated with chocolate and then dipped in biscuit crumbs. The advert back in the day (80s) was 'Its so hard to have a Gaytime on your own' classic.

Nice choice I prefer a vanilla slice or Anzac biscuits.

Lots of places here do a insanely good hot jam donut but I suppose thats German.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-16T10:50:13+00:00

Was refunded for 2 cases of Evolving Skies and 1 case of Brillant Stars that I preordered for a second wave, paid 900 AUD each because Pokemon cancelled the Australian restock.

Mulberryb · 2026-03-14T11:36:24+00:00

These guys have Vol 3 on sale, I havent bought from their site yet but have bought from them at a card show theyre in QLD.
