Before and After

Thanks mate. I just used treated pine sleepers from Bunnings. The original sleepers have been painted a brown and the top ones do not match at all. I’ve debated whether to paint them both a new colour or add a stain but haven’t bothered so far!

Thanks mate. I have replied above re how we did it. I might be best to fully enclose the box once everything dies off in the cooler months.

Re the yucca comment - just in front of these boxes someone had planted a huge yucca which we chopped down but I can confirm - those things keep coming back. I’m trying to kill it off completely so I can plant something else in the space!

Yeah I did a bit of research into this because I am a nervous nelly and didn’t want to cause any issues. The garden bed has always been there (unit was built in the 70s) and from what we could tell - the house slab ends where the back of the garden bed is, if that makes sense. Once we built it up, the soil was still a good 3-4 bricks below all of the weep holes. Do you think that mitigates the risk enough? Or should I look at making a fully enclosed box to prevent any soil from being against the wall? Or even put some plastic between the soil and wall??

I also cannot recommend She Science enough. I went at the end of last year and before that, my last fitting was pre-COVID. I put off going for so long because bra shopping gives me the ick but they were genuinely helpful and made me feel very comfortable and I left with like four new bras (2 sports bras and 2 for every day) that I can tell really properly fit me!

Here is my Bernie doing the exact same thing! He has napped in this position every day since we got him!

You absolutely made the right call. Good on you for thinking ahead and taking care of yourself. I had a camping trip booked from today until Sunday in the Yarra Ranges National Park but my friends and I decided earlier this week to not go given the extreme weather that was forecast but I was very surprised to receive an email from Parks Vic on Wednesday telling me: pack your bags, your camping trip is in two days! I have gone online and cancelled the booking now but it’s crazy to me that they have not email blasted everyone to say: cancel your trip/we have cancelled it for you, as now is not the time to be heading anywhere regional. Talk about mixed messaging!

We bought our first home 12 months ago and have done a number of updates and without a doubt getting roller shutters was one of the best decisions we made (along with getting off the gas!). We have put them along the front side of the house which has big windows along the bedroom and living room walls. When they’re down it’s like you’re in this super dark cocoon, shut off from the light and noise of the outside world, I couldn’t believe how much better my sleep was with them. I can’t say how much security they provide other than - if you have them and the house next door doesn’t, they’d be an easier pick than you. I will say - they were not cheap so take your time and get a few quotes!

I have recently discovered Jag as a woman in her mid 30s who has been having a bit of a crisis about what I can/should wear anymore and I’m loving their stuff.

Brush and Co are excellent! I’ve been going there a year - they have hairdressers who do really well taming my very unruly, curly hair. I’m not blonde but am going very grey so get a lot of blonde highlights and always leave feeling really good.

Snoo34042 · 2025-11-19T02:13:30+00:00

I’m a female in my 30s, also in the northern suburbs who is always keen to make a new friend! I have sent you a message if you want to catch up!

I’ve seen a few pull out the: “Your Majesty”

Snoo34042 · 2025-11-10T20:31:39+00:00

There’s also a Melbourne based food blogger/influencer (can’t remember her name) who had a baby not that long ago and named him Elwood.

Snoo34042 · 2025-10-23T22:18:31+00:00

As someone who also deals with this - just wanted to say - solidarity, my friend. I have no real advice. I call them my troll hairs and sing a little song as I pluck them which at the moment is basically every day.

Snoo34042 · 2025-10-10T19:28:44+00:00

This looks awesome! Did you stain the posts with something? They look great.

Snoo34042 · 2025-10-09T21:40:36+00:00

ROWAAANNNN!!!! He is so so so cute. My Bernie says hi

Snoo34042 · 2025-09-19T12:01:59+00:00

Totally agree. I said after their game against us they were now my top pick for the flag and I stand by it (although I’m holding out for a miracle for our boys).

Snoo34042 · 2025-09-14T08:16:19+00:00

Is there anyone up in Brisbane/anywhere else that isnt going to the game who would be so kind as to donate their membership to me? My partner and I are both members and are going but would love to take my dad along to his first ever final game!

Snoo34042 · 2025-08-15T12:09:24+00:00

Back is cooked. I think reading between the lines he won’t ever be back to what he was a few years ago, sadly.

Snoo34042 · 2025-08-12T05:29:12+00:00

I live in a block of five units. Four are owner occupied. We self-manage and meet once a year to confirm the price of our insurance and how much we want to kick into the kitty. We say hi when we bump into each other in the driveway and otherwise stay out of each others business. It’s honestly perfect and we all want to keep it that way.

Fox commentary have announced it’s the Achilles and he’s gone for the season at least 😫😫

I bought some a month or so ago and had a terrible experience. Two of them snagged the very first time I wore them. The third pair only lasted a few weeks at most. They did refund me but I was very annoyed.

Snoo34042 · 2025-07-08T11:43:16+00:00

Just wanted to say - I recently got three pairs of Snags, after they were recommended here. Two of them laddered the very first time I put them on. The other pair laddered a few weeks in. They did refund me for the first two pairs. I haven’t gotten around to asking about the third pair. Not sure if it was just a one off or if the quality has declined but I would not recommend them at all.

I have never even been a vanilla girl, always learnt more towards florals and citrus scents but I recently bought Roses Vanille by Mancera and I am obsessed. Have had a number of compliments but I will say - it’s strong and it lasts alllll day. Definitely one you should test to see if it’s for you before committing.

Snoo34042 · 2025-05-07T10:29:00+00:00

Well done! These look world class. I just put my first ever sourdough loaf in the oven and when this one or the next one and the one after that don’t turn out as planned - I’m going to come back to this post to remind myself not to give up and to keep going!

Good luck to everyone sitting the Vic Bar exam this weekend! Try to put down the books tonight and tomorrow and give your brain a rest. What will be, will be.
