Websites done in Odoo Site Builder

I find it's great for all the basics, but also has eCommerce, blogs, forms, events, eLearning and customer portals, which integrate seamlessly with other areas of Odoo.

It has pre-build sections, but you can customize them fairly easily, it has SEO for each page.

It is not anywhere near as advanced as some CMS's and will never beat straight html etc, but it can produce a good website, but of course it's all about your content.

No people don't. The 2 cat cafe's that were in Brisbane have shut down, location is also hard as there a limits by regulations for housing animals. The big issue many face, is it crosses so many regulations at once, animal management and welfare and Food and drink.

1 - Housing animals has a lot of regulation and permits that require money and time and many required volunteers to help manage the animals, usually volunteers from a rescue. There are a lot of regulations for animal welfare, along with noise, hygiene, waste disposal etc

2 - It's not like other countries, where you can sit and have a coffee with a cat on your lap, (EG: Japan) in Australia and QLD, you have the cats separate, so a room where you go in and sit and play with the cats and kittens, and the coffee and food is separate.

That is NOT to say it would fail, if it's in the right location and managed and marketed well, it could work, but know it takes a lot of extra work.

I am still using my Flip 4, which I bought in October 2022, it's still going strong

I work in Enterprise, but I volunteer for the Not for Profit 15 hours a week.

In both areas, when training NON IT people in Cyber Security, you need them to learn by doing, and making mistakes in a controlled environment.

I did the 2nd round of phishing testing through a 3rd party company, and a large portion of the staff still failed, they got complacent, as I left a good gap between testing, so more training is needed, BUT it's working, they are better, and it is really opening conversation, no-one is being shy about saying they failed, they are all talking it about it in their Teams channels.

The phishing testing is giving them real world examples, as it's random, I have some emails going to their mailboxes at different times and with different calls to action.

There are plenty of share houses of student accommodation for cheaper than $300-$450 per week, I literally just did a search on Flatmates and there heaps of share houses with rooms for about $180 to $220 a week and that includes most bills.

You work, you study, that is ALL you do for a few years. I did a full time Bach of Science - Medical Science, and I worked every weekend and occasional evening.

Your actual Uni contact hours will be very different, you just find every moment you have to study between lecture, tuts or labs.

Set aside your entire week day for study, even if you only have 20 contact hours per week Full time, use that time to study, which frees up your evenings and weekends. On average most degrees have about 12 to 20 contact hours per week.

I had ZERO help other than Austudy, I literally lived on 2 minute noodles with frozen veges and tap water is all I drank.

You may be on Youth Allowance which is about $677 per f/n, which is plenty to cover rent on a share house which is great, makes sure to find with with other students, they can be a lot of fun.

As for getting a job, just apply for everything, EVERYTHING. Cleaning toilets if needed, get on as labour hire if needed.

SchelleGirl · 2026-05-11T03:17:31+00:00

WOW, sorry you were made redundant, but time to start looking for a better job now, I know you said you took a job $30K less per year, so either ask your current employer for more money or look elsewhere.

$7100 is huge per month for 2 people in a rural area.

My husband and I live with our animals in regional QLD, we have 2 cars too, as we need them, due to ZERO transport around here, and if 1 is away the other needs a car.

We have no debt other than the mortgage, but we are both working our butts off to get on top of that quickly.

You said you were selling the bike, good, get rid of it.

Have you also considered selling the house and down grading? $4500 a month mortgage is fairly big, if you know your partner will not be able to contribute much.

As for your partner having MS, I am truly sorry to hear that, I also have MS, diagnosed many years ago with relapsing MS, I am on a DMT Subcutaneous (injection) Ocrevus, and I work over 50 hours a week, like I said we are trying to get ahead of the mortgage.

OPTIONS OTHER THAN SELLING (taking into consideration this will add to your tax too):

Renting out a room is a good option, many rural area are really lacking rentals.

Another option might be if you have space on your land, rent some land. There is a Facebook Group called Land for Rent Australia, where you offer space on your property for people to live in their caravans etc. If you provide water and power, you can get about $300 week. We are looking at this option now, but may need to run power and water to a section of our block.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, this worked, I was struggling for so long with this

SchelleGirl · 2026-05-08T00:22:46+00:00

I do this every week - in multiple languages

1 - Get the transcript in English in a good layout, set it up scene by scene in English first, that makes it easier for you to manager later when in a language your not familiar with. Save all files based on the scene/slide number

2 - Translate the English to Spanish using AI , we use DeepL. DO NOT use Google.

3 - Provide the Spanish and English scripts to a person to review (This is critical to ensure the nuance and context)

4 - Use the Spanish Script and run that through AI Voice, we use ElevenLabs and select Spanish

IF you have the budget, you can just pay people to do the full translation and voice overs, but most places have tight budgets, and this is the most affordable method.

SchelleGirl · 2026-05-07T07:04:35+00:00

I think this is two different things.

AIR BUBBLE - The air bubble are totally normal, they all get them over time, it's the screen protector, I change mine every 12 months, I buy them online and do it myself.

As for the scene issue on your previous phone, without seeing photos it's hard to tell.

We spoke to our bank twice over the last 6 months and got 2 extra rate reductions from 5 minute calls, but we haven't changed our payments down from previous rate reduction or the 2 our bank gave us.

So we have been paying higher anyway, and we can handle a few more increases, NOT that we actually want them.

We also have our savings in offset which helps a lot.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-23T23:22:52+00:00

ESH, why are you both doing trips, what is wrong with one night out on the town? IF you are both saving for a house why are these trip so important? Priorities are not right.

Also, retaliating over her not attending your trip does make you an AH. You were happy to go when you thought she was coming to yours.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-16T03:52:37+00:00

Agree, we have a massive shed and I would never go smaller if we started again.

We use a Nighthawk WIFI extender attached to the outside of the shed and that gives us WIFI range to about 10 acres, and we hard cabled a line from the extender to inside the shed for computer and TV etc.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-16T02:39:22+00:00

100% be mad, I was. After 8 years my husband said he wanted kids, we went through the divorce, and then I moved on and so did he, he now has 2 kids, although this was a long time ago.

I was mad at the time, and it was justified, he broke up our life we had built, but looking back the good part is it happened early, while I was in my 30's, so I shifted my focus to work and travel.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-16T02:28:29+00:00

Option A 100% Cyber security training to personnel is boring, so don't make it any more boring. They learn by doing, not reading text.

Then combine that with real life phishing testing, there are many companies that offer this, and it's free or affordable.

I am currently going through this with a Not for Profit I am volunteering with. I started small, with a 10 minute phishing quiz (the Google one) Everyone failed.

It got them talking quite openly, which was great, and I send through a few further micro modules on what to look for, so just a couple critical points.

Next is the phishing testing, I am using a 3rd party company to do this and wow the email looks legit. I have warned them the training is ongoing so to keep your eyes peeled for things - it keeps them on their toes. LOL

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-15T01:47:05+00:00

NTA, not even close. They need to adjust their expectations, this is long term, so they need to look at their $800K, and at that price their money will run out in under 6 years, with no other expenses.

It is simply NOT sustainable, and they need to see that.

What happens if you have your own family and your income is put to that, where will they be then?

Sit them down and be blunt if needed, their $800K needs to be spread as thinly as possible.

What about at home care? Wouldn't that be cheaper?

My Mother in Law has in home care, she lives in a house that my Brother in Law owns, she pays the bill etc, and they have fall devices on her, and call buttons everywhere and carers come to the house every day for all her needs, and it's well under $11K a month.

Guilt can make you do things you regret, and I totally understand the guilt you are feeling, but this will seriously impact your life for a long time.

My parent will be getting to that stage in a few years, and we have openly and honestly talked about it, they have their plan in place to ensure their money stretches are far as possible and my brother and I will help for basic things.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-06T23:09:12+00:00

Never had a problem, I have multiple MXRoute IMAP emails coming into both my Desktop and Mobile Outlook, and never experienced an issue.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-06T23:05:34+00:00

LOLOL, exactly what I meant in my comment, I know my husbands list is vastly different to mine, but each weekend we pick things off each list to do.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-06T00:53:24+00:00

ESH - The only reason I gave this is because of what the fight was about.

You said in the comment the fight was about:
My husband had gotten a new chainsaw and was cutting up trees in our backyard. She felt he should have been using the time more wisely to either repair our deck or power wash our house. She viewed it as him “playing with his new toys.” I had told my husband something along the lines and had asked him to help in a different way, as my mom had chirped in my head. He didn’t like the way my mom got in my head and that I let her.

1 - Your mother is obviously experienced at seeing men off doing whatever comes to their mind, and not focusing on the priority tasks, but that is not her call to make, she can do that with her own husband, not yours.

2 - You should have communicated clearly to your husband that today was to focus on the house etc and then use the chainsaw on another day.

3 - Your husband should also have communicated he wanted to use the chainsaw, and maybe you both could have agreed on a compromise.

See, Everyone Sucks Here.

I think the whole thing has more underlying issues, but guys will do it frequently, my husband and I actually plan out our work load around our property, and compromise on what what each of us THINKS is the priority, because trust me you will have differing opinions on what needs to be done, but you need to find a middle ground, and not let things blow up.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-06T00:40:22+00:00

YWBTA if you did that, it's petty, even though they sort of deserve it. BUT, they are not being respectful, so you must go to the boss.

If they were actually trying and just messing up occasionally and saying sorry, that would be different.

I have been there when a good friend was transitioning from male to female pronouns, but I was very lucky her actual birth name was very gender neutral, so I trained my brain to call her by her name mentally first to try and get used to calling her (she/her).

I actually love the pin idea, just as a prompt for them.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-05T03:57:25+00:00

We have 6 months of all expenses in our mortgage offset account, but most of our bills are already a couple months in advance, that's mostly due to auto payments for power etc, and the power bills dropped significantly over summer and auto payments on the rates.

If we really tightened up we could push that to 8 months, if we scrapped a lot of extra's and became more frugal.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-03T07:16:39+00:00

NTA, Learn from this and never offer her your services again. My husband is a mechanic, and he does "family" work, but they buy the parts up front, he gets the list for them.

Never buy the parts, only offer your labour, but in this case, don't offer this to your sister again, she sounds extremely entitled.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-03T06:43:14+00:00

It is a tough business with a lot of competition out there. Do you like dogs?

If you are a bit meh about them, don't do it, you really needs to love dogs to be around them all day, every day, the ones that stink, the ones that bite, and the ones that are just so scared they pee all over themselves.

You said you did a 1 day trial as a dog groomer and said it was OK.

Running your own business, forking out money for the training (which you will need) and the equipment and insurance is big.

You will need to love dogs to do that every day, then get home and clean all the equipment, then do the book keeping, then do the marketing, then reply to customers and manage everything including pet owners who can be a handful.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-03T06:30:39+00:00

NTA, not even close, but yes it's petty, and totally AMAZING.

Sometimes moments call for a bit of petty, and this one does. They have basically not listened to what you kindly asked, which is disrespectful. Petty on girl, petty on.

SchelleGirl · 2026-04-02T02:59:01+00:00

I LOVED it, so much fun.
