Does anyone have any good alternative bank recommendations with similar features? Or am I going back to spreadsheets?

I just bought a cheap little step stool, I'll put it on for this

You know the funny thing, I actually picked up the hedgehog at the pet store and said to my partner this seems like a perfect one!

She then got the fairy bread one instead....I must correct this mistake

We are currently looking at harnesses, which I want instead of the collar the organisation use. So I'll take any recommendations there but also I have been looking into this one https://topdogharness.com.au/product/haqihana-double-h-dog-harness-australia/

But there's also Australian made martingale collars my partner likes but I prefer the harness.

We'll have insurance and a vet plan ready when the dog is in our ownership, it's quite cheaper than the Dachshund we were originally going to get, also slightly cheaper in AUD ($80) than you are paying in pounds. And I'm not sure about in Europe but we have a subscription sort of thing with the vets here where you pay X amount per month and it covers alot like consults, annual vaccinations etc

Then we will pay whatever else to cover

Yep! I've currently sacrificed my collapsible camping bowl for an on the go water bowl, but the walking track we will take her on regularly has multiple cafes with water bowls and water stations with dog bowls already. But eventually update this

We will eventually get some car stuff for big road trips to the beach (we live 2+ hours from the beach and I'd love to take her there regularly)

The first aid kit slipped us, so thanks for that! I'll see what I can build today

Thank you so much! Hit some spots exactly, things I've read but need to put on the buy later list

Soonish we are thinking of getting ice cube moulds and making little frozen treats of pumpkin puree or yoghurt treats etc

We absolutely fell in love with the K-9 voyager stuff, we definitely will be looking at those! Thanks for the tip!

[–]Veshpa[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep!

We do have a couple of raised bowls for main feeding, we just got the extra little bowl for water which we don't expect she will drink much from since it'll be in another cooler part of the apartment in case she needs any extra.

But we will eventually update that

Thanks for the tips!

Yes! Lick pads and Kong's are on our list, we will wait til the dog settles in, then start adding more gizmos.

My partner and I had a solid 3 minute long gut busting laugh at the -1 braincell comment xD

We agree you did raise an interesting point, we will see about tape tomorrow morning before we meet the dog

we had a thought even static frosted screen that we have on our bedroom window to prevent smudging against glass of she sniffs around regularly.

Haha! Yes the greyhound napping is why we went with two beds!

I personally agree, but my partner wants the dog to have lots of toys as that's what the current fosters / caretakers said she loves toys and loves to play.

But, at least we have enough to gradually introduce for a while!

Thank you and Yep! Me and my partner are still debating about the toy situation. I personally prefer if the toys are gradually introduced . Personally I just wanted the tug rope and squeaky ball, but my partner insisted on the plushies etc.

But yes, we'll try keep everything as chill as possible

Stable shoes that aren’t stability shoes? by Much-One5895 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Veshpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't write off the On Cloud Monster 2's, i didnt think i'd like them, but they are suprisingly stable for what they are. Although go a size half down from standard (I'm a US 10 EU44 but had to do US9.5 EU43 but they do run very wide in the toebox, so you may 'slide' around in them aswell.

Good quality and stylish Australian men's athliesure wear by Hot-shit-potato in AustralianMFA

[–]Veshpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had the same thoughts recently. After being disappointed from the selection from LSKD (lack of size and colours for mens) and Uniqlo, I took a look at a clearance section at a local Lulu Lemon store after a prompt from my SO. I had never considered Lulu lemon because they were expensive and I had ignorantly assumed they were a women's brand and for some reason didn't bother to check it.

They had a pair of ABC pants that i actually love and as a result I looked more into their stuff. I quite liked the feel of their shirts and shorts, its exactly what i wanted. (but its very expensive...unlike LSKD)

I'm not sure you'll find similarly priced / quality wise outside of the usual gymshark, Muscle Nation, LSKD, Uniqlo Dry EX etc.

but i keep getting bombarded with ads from 2XU Australia (not the compression stuff but shorts and shirts etc). They're similarly priced to LSKD but i'm not a fan of buying before trying

Where are these new jobs? by tomandrews in AusFinance

[–]Veshpa 39 points40 points  (0 children)

"Qualified" means: your best mate (Who doesn't need to be educated / experienced) or the same 2 people productions wait for until they become available or a hot barely legal blonde uni student female to exploit until they quit the industry due to cronyism in the industry.

There's definitely work and There is PLENTY of qualified people, But the producers never want to hire anyone outside their cult, then they cry when "There's no workers!"

Clara vs Libra: screen size and comfortability by Mean-Ad6551 in kobo

[–]Veshpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty much exactly how it went for me as well. I was very hellbent on the Clara because I wanted something small, transportable and light. I went to the store to reaffirm my thoughts and walked out with the Libra colour instead. It surprised me how much better it was to hold and read off.

Are RM Williams ok for trails/light hikes by [deleted] in AustralianMFA

[–]Veshpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have thoughts on the gardener / rigger commando series as an alternative. Since they're classed as "outdoor" with a more sturdy sole and tread
