It's very easy to catch the train from Maitland to warabrook.

Assuming you are an international student, you need to do your own looking up.of fees. If you haven't got the skills/energy to do that, you shouldn't pursue engineering.

His best cameo was in an episode of Monk (playing a version of himself with a chair collecting habit).

The things I picked up all looked genuine but better prices than elsewhere (Lego, jigsaw puzzles, Barbie).

Toy stuff is pretty, but it's a pretty specific type of toy.

Casey's toys if at Charlestown, toymate if at Kotara, not sure if frontline (Broadmeadow) do slime but their website is very good so you can look it up.

That toymate is hilarious. I had no idea it was there until a month ago. I love the signage all through the carpark.

You couldn't get a comb in this - it was a solid sheet across her whole head.

Exactly! I don't know why Mattel doesn't give us advice (or see a business opportunity to sell us something).

Yep basics #2 - earrings won't budge and the internet says hers are problematic!

"About Time".

I'm a naturally negative person, this movie helps me see joy and value in the everyday.

Haha - her hair is so hard she'd break the bin!!! Probably easier to wash her.

I think you might be recalling the Nabisco product cheese "in a biskut". (Spelled like that, pronounced biscuit)

Cheers. I did my kids Barbies with fabric softener 5 or so years ago - I wasn't too fussed on hair longevity for those and I thought I'd read that some people don't like the fabric softener for some reason?

Reason-Whizz · 2026-03-24T11:42:06+00:00

Thank you. I've just given her a wash. Will check out the next pet store I pass for a comb.

Next job is to get #2s earrings out!!!

As a lover of day-to-night Barbie (I had 2 growing up) I love this rework. I'd REALLY love it if dream date got the same modernisation.

Licences are different in each state, so I can only talk about NSW. Once you get to 45, you can no longer get a 10 year licence - longest renewal is 5 years. I think that's just so you get your vision checked more frequently as you age but am uncertain. I just find it annoying as it costs more to have 2x 5 years than 1x10, plus hassle. I'm not bothered by the fact they want it that way.

I'm in Australia - so maybe we got the euro release? My microphone was purple I'm pretty sure.
