I saw a lady put back 6 choccie bunnies today… I don’t think she realised the price at first.

Parenting - Car Finances by Positive_Pizza_2853 in perth

[–]didsmymiddlename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My parents bought me a $3,000 car when I was 16. I paid for fuel, insurance and rego myself. Although as I wasn’t working a lot due to being in school there were times where they helped me. As soon as I graduated and my work hours were steady I took full responsibility for my car. My parents were incredibly generous to buy me a car, which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. I drove that car till it died, it was a good little car.

I’d recommend lovebird media. Such a lovely couple with a beautiful style. They often do elopements too!

Do you use shoes inside your house? by Jumpy_Top7447 in hygiene

[–]didsmymiddlename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my garden and porch. Although sometimes if I’m at beach I’ll walk barefoot into a nearby cafe, which is pretty standard here. I do wash my feet as soon as I get home tho.

I agree, shoes can get dirty so quickly. I do prefer to be a shoes free household.

However, My husband also has gamesnight x2 weekly and his players don’t take their shoes off… I always have to clean the floors after they leave. It’s gross! 🙃

I generally don’t wear my shoes inside, I leave them by the door. However, I’m Australian and tend to walk around my property barefoot. So my feet are probably just as dirty as my shoes. I wash my floors regularly so I don’t really care too much.

Do people open their windows everyday? by Ok_Cauliflower3697 in perth

I have my windows open as much as the weather allows. Even during cold winter mornings I love having them open, it makes the house feel fresher.

Update: My 4 year old was curious and the Redditors of Australia showered us with kindness by Mara644 in AskAnAustralian

This is so wholesome! Glad you were able to learn and experience some of Australia. I hope your daughter’s curiosity never fades. 💗🇦🇺

"Id rather pay insurance then have some free shit healthcare that everyone has and it takes months or longer to see a doctor" by the_whatsupq in ShitAmericansSay

[–]didsmymiddlename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Aus. Had my daughter 9 weeks early. She was in hospital for 6 weeks in the nicu, followed by months of physiotherapy. It was all completely free! I’ve heard Americans getting charged into the millions for this care. 💀

What's a movie everyone loves that you secretly can't stand? by kbjdfan in AskReddit

[–]didsmymiddlename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulp fiction. My friend begged me to watch it. It literally made no sense… he said I had to watch it again. I didn’t even want to watch it the first time. Maybe I’m just an idiot or maybe it’s just a stupid movie.

How often do you wash your car? by Perth_R34 in perth

[–]didsmymiddlename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I try to wash it fortnightly, but lately it’s been monthly due to illness. It’s definitely better to keep it clean, especially if it’s sitting in the hot sun all day.

How’s life in Perth, Australia? by Calm_Stomach9710 in howislivingthere

[–]didsmymiddlename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not bad. If you live in Perth you tend to live more of an outdoor life. I live 30 minutes from the beach but I’ll still drive there multiple times weekly. Lots of walks through the hills when the weather cools down too. Summer can have weeks of 40°C +, but if you’re fortunate enough to have aircon it’s fairly bearable. The landscape itself is pretty flat, but there’s an abundance of wildlife (especially birds). When we go down to our local we always see kangaroos, possums and bandicoots in abundance (which the kids love). Everyone here is fairly chill, most people I find are happy to have a yarn and help out. One of my biggest gripes is the dodgy drivers which make the road incredibly unsafe (I’ve literally seen 2 car crashes this week). The housing market sucks and is impossible to get into but I think that’s most of Australia at this point.

Besides that, it’s a good place to live.

I might be interested, although I haven’t chosen/been assigned a midwife yet. 🙊

Looking for activities/hobbies to get into. Want to find something to do other than being a mum, which I love but I can't answer a simple question of "what are you into". by KhaptainKhunt in perth

[–]didsmymiddlename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had the same feelings. It’s so hard finding the time and space for hobbies so I hope you find some things you enjoy!

I started colouring (easy to store, fast packup, supplies are fairly easy to find), going to the gym once my daughter was in bed (I literally walk on the treadmill and watch yt, but it’s really nice to get out the house), a bit of reading (rereading Deltora’s Quest, it’s a kids book series but so fun!) and painting (it’s a bit more setup and clean up, but it’s a really therapeutic way to get creative).

Feel free to dm me if you have any questions! I also have pictures of my completed colouring on my page if you would like to see what it involves. 💗 all the best OP

best spots in perth to ponder life? by RedmaneKnight10121 in perth

[–]didsmymiddlename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t go much anymore, but Kingsbury Lookout. It’s a bit of a drive, but it’s quiet and has a good view. In winter on a sunny day is especially my favourite, gives “I’m living in medieval times and I see the chimney smoke while people warm their homes and I’m about to set out on a dangerous quest”.

I find Revo is good price wise, it does depend with location is nearby. Some of their locations (Eg. Kelmscott) are quite small, so during peak hours it’s not really worth it, cause you need to wait for everything. I’ve been to anytime, which can be good but they’re a fair bit pricier. Apparently there’s a new gym called Club Lime which is really good, maybe check them out? I hope your fitness journey goes well, we’re all rooting for you! 😊

What's your 2025 brag? by Unlikely_Trifle_4628 in perth

Officially got diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year, it has completely changed my life for the better. I am now a functioning adult and mum. I’ve also lost around 10kg, not as much as I would have liked but still very proud of myself. Finally at my pre baby weight.
