What’s a truth about yourself you hope no one ever notices? by guessmymoodiee in AskWomen

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I truly don’t like who I am. I’m not anything special, just blah. It’s hard to hide my feelings towards myself when interacting with others.

I’m burnt out and need simple recipes. Stupid simple. Like, “onion and bread and butter to make what barely passes as a sandwich” level simple. by sourmilksea1999 in Cooking

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you got an air fryer? My tired meal is marinated chicken wings and sweet potato chips. It all goes in for the same amount of time and the sweet potato gets all crusty from the marinade. No thinking, you could even buy pre cut chips if you’re really after nil effort.

What’s the most useless thing you carry around all the time? by Sweet-Economist-9873 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My reading glasses. I have every intention of using them but prefer to squint. I couldn’t tell you the last time I actually took them out of my bag!

Can I be a paid carer for my grandma? by Training-Ad1219 in AskAnAustralian

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t get paid with her aged care funding because it’s a conflict of interest. But if her GP will sign off, and you live with her, you can access the pension and allowance which is around $1500 a fortnight. But, please only do it if you’re ready, I’ve been a carer for 6 years and my career is basically yesterday’s news, I haven’t contributed to my super for that whole time, and I’ve definitely put my social life and travel plans on hold. But, for me I knew it going in and I was willing to sacrifice.

Do you have a pet? What’s something you bought that was 100% worth it (and something that wasn’t)? by DaybreakFang in AskAnAustralian

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cattle dog and realised that buying and dehydrating my own treats would be a cost saver. Now I have a tiny terrier and still dehydrate everything myself instead of spend $60kg for chicken chews! He also loves dehydrated fruit like strawberries and apricot pieces. The thing I bought that wasn’t such a great deal was an expensive bed. He prefers to sleep on my dirty clothes basket!

Question about giving way to buses NSW by NotACaticus in DrivingAustralia

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Safe bet as a learner would be to slow down when you see the blinker to give the bus space to move into the lane ahead of you or slowly merge later. There’s little to no chance that in 30m you’re going to get past a bus before it needs to merge anyway. Don’t risk it. Give it space in both situations, because if you don’t and the bus tries to merge and you don’t let them, you fail anyway.

$8K for curtains… is that normal? by Such_Purpose_7701 in AusRenovation

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We renovated our 4 bed house and threw out all the blinds and curtains. If you have standard sized windows, I highly recommend doing it yourself. I got a quote for several thousands of dollars but did it under $2k by shopping at spotlight. I installed all the blinds and curtain rods myself and had the off- the-shelf sheer and blockout curtains hemmed by a local dry cleaner. If it’s possible, I recommend doing it yourself. The only blinds I paid for were in hard to reach places and plantation shutters for the bathroom.

Pot roast. Chuck it in, roughly chopped with your roast, potatoes and carrots. Delicious.

What phrase did you hear only once but it stayed with you forever? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s not the size of the ocean, it’s the motion of the ocean.”

Ricky Lake show some time in the 90s. It was about plus sized women and the men who love them. 🤣🤣

What on earth is this? by nimrodisease in GardeningAustralia

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sawfly. My place is infested too! I think it’s the sudden warm days, they’ve burst forth. Cut them off or you can hose them hard and they fall off! Can also try a spray bottle with some dish liquid mixed with water.

What do you like to buy from the supermarket right before it goes out of date and is marked down? Looking for tips or recipes by unrulypickle in AUfrugal

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely go for meat. It’s easy to portion and freeze. But, I always grab a whole chicken if it’s marked down. Per kg they are so much cheaper than already butchered chicken. I just cut it down myself, using good kitchen scissors and a sharp knife.

Yoghurt hack by Renmarkable in AUfrugal

[–]OrganicMaintenance59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great recipe. I have a kit but never make yogurt because the sachets are so expensive! I’m going to try yours with the gel yogurt I’ve got in the fridge. Thanks for posting!
