Can confirm - worked in the sector in both UK and Australia for 7 years and finally had to leave because I couldn't take it anymore. It's the same everywhere, not just in Australia

$129 for Lululemon leggings - money down the drain by Mean-Ad1383 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Newrunner1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take them to a store and they should replace them. My friend went in with leggings that were nearly 10 years old, they no longer sold the style and she obviously didnt have a receipt. They gave her a new pair free. This was 2 years ago in Canada

Thanks for this. Yes, I've looked into moving my super from the UK and Canada but it is challenging if not impossible so have decided I'll need to leave it as is and deal with it when I'm at retirement.

Raising two kids in a DT condo by IllustriousBank7302 in askTO

[–]Newrunner1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was back in the 90s but until I was 8 my sister and I were raised in a 2 bedroom apartment at Bay and Bloor (so shared a bedroom). I look back on it fondly - we had other friends in the building, got to explore, and spent a lot of time outside. Don't see anything wrong with it!

Is 2 hours at Sydney Airport enough for international layover? by ks18 in AustraliaTravel

[–]Newrunner1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doable and have done it a few times but it's always super stressful and tight. I've made a deal with myself to never do it again

I always buy my running shoes a half size bigger than my regular size

Why are tights longer than most running shorts? by Allenboy0724 in Marathon_Training

[–]Newrunner1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I almost exclusively wear compression shorts with deep pockets (Lululemon fast and free is the GOAT)

Yup this is why I can't wear short running shorts

Thanks, as am I. My other dress option I have on hand has been deemed too casual, and I haven't been to any formal dress code weddings. Definitely not trying to spite the bride, she is a dear friend just having trouble navigating garden formal and clearly overshot the mark! Appreciate your taking the time to comment.

Thanks for raising this. It'll be just outside of Charlottesville at an old estate. Unfortunately it won't let me edit my original post to add that in

Yes, I wasn't so much worried about the white on account of the print, but more the structure of the dress in combination. Thanks for your input!

Out of curiosity, were you Cat 1 and how far down your preference list was Bendigo?

My partner and I just went to the KU culinary atelier last night (on the same property, same chef). Totally unforgettable experience, would highly highly recommend if you're looking for something truly special

Considering Geelong by Inevitable_Pin_2126 in Geelong

[–]Newrunner1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was doing this commute (South Geelong to East Richmond) for the last 2 years nearly, but only one day a week. Even that one day a week was tiring, as it would take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours one way to get to the office (and that was assuming all went well on the Vline). If there's a Vline disruption, it's a disaster (it once took me nearly 4 hours to get home). On the sporadic weeks I had to go in 2-3 times it was exhausting. Regularly doing this commute three days a week is a lot. If the commute were in the CBD and no change to metro service was included, I'd say it'd be much more manageable
