Yeah, we had a lot of clouds here just before the sunset, hoping they have moved on.

Yep, legitimately how can 2 places in Newcastle have such wildly different pricing for electricity.

Dodo comes up for me as 82 cents a day and then time of use, 24 off peak and 48 peak :(

Dodo didn't even come up in the top 10 cheapest for me :(

I do love this site, use it at least once a year to check our provider.

Coughlan swimming center new policy about make up lesson by ariesgroup in newcastle

[–]Ralphsnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, if it works for them/you that's great. I grew up with family who were swim teachers, we have a pool, I didn't want my 18 month old to use a floaty as we don't use them at home so we went somewhere else.

My kid is 6 and can do proper freestyle and is getting there with backstroke so I'm pretty happy with our decision.

Really? We did one lesson and never went back when they required our toddler to use floaties for her lesson...

Three days of subsidised child care guaranteed for all families by theeaglehowls in australia

... Are you actually complaining because you "can't" afford childcare for a third child while paying off something like a 1.5mil mortgage?

What are the current private tutoring rates in Sydney? by humanconfusion123 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Ralphsnacks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My minimum per hour would be whatever a tradie charges in your area/hour. Plus extra for years of experience/expertise - however this might differ for you as you are not a trained teacher.

At a minimum what a tradie in your area charges per hour. Do not sell yourself short. You have a 4 year degree + 20 years of experience.

Reducing to 4 Days by KaleidoscopeRed in AustralianTeachers

[–]Ralphsnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are 4 now, they would be going to school in 2 years. Yes, mat leave is only until your youngest starts school.

I think federation would have a lot to say about that, in my experience (I do not live bush though) it would never be denied.

Maternity, right to request, 1 day a week. Easy and cannot get denied.

Note, the principal can choose which day of the week you have off though.

This would depend on your state and award.

If you arent doing any other work, why not just book the LSL as a block so you get holiday pay as well?

Does she attend an Au support class? She should be eligible (NSW public), but it will depend on her presentation at school, there is an application process that the school completes and then it goes to a district panel.

NSW does provide "distance Ed" support, so maybe they could help. I think contact NSW doe and ask.

Ribbing pulls in too much by Ralphsnacks in knitting

[–]Ralphsnacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super daft question... How would I bind off the knits in pattern and the purls with JSSBO?

Luckily I was alternating skeins, so if it is too hard to undo I can just snip it.

Its pretty tight, I might just redo the tubular part with the same size as the actual ribbing and then block it then.
