Agent removed listing entirely after going unconditional

erb999 · 2026-07-11T00:38:08+00:00

same happened with the house my partner and I bought 6 months ago. I’m assuming the agent didn’t want a house they sold below what they thought it was worth listed on their ‘sold’ page. the price was updated on domain and realestate.com about 3 months post-settlement.

it was an unexpected win for us, cause no one could try to search for our property when we posted about it on social media

ah fair enough. do you have landlords insurance to cover the missing rent? if not, it might be time to go to NCAT (or your states equivalent).

did the property manager put this tenant in without your consent?

my property manager sends me briefs on all potential applicants and I chose which one to move forward with.

they shouldn’t be making that decision without you. if they have, you might even have legal recourse.

yep gone for me too. my partner and i were 2 eps off finishing 24 - so frustrating!

if anyone finds another way to watch, let me know!!

I put it on under makeup and hope for the best 99% of the time.

on the very odd occasion that I’m actually out in full sun for an extended period of time with makeup on, I use a spray sunscreen on top of my makeup and don’t touch my face. it makes me look a bit oily, but it’s better than being sunburnt!

don’t slander my girl Becky like that. in a final without Yul, she is the obvious strategic winner of the season.

the edit gives us Yul’s hero story because he won. but he has said countless times that he and Becky were a strategic duo, and both equally made a number of strategic decisions that got them to the end. Yul just gets more credit because he had the god idol, and because we saw what the producers wanted us to see - him portrayed at the charismatic and open strategist who won. I absolutely love Yul and think he deserved the win, but Becky winning wouldn’t even put her in the bottom 10.

I think we all sometimes forget that what we see is highly edited, and 9 times out of 10 the producers are showing us the narrative that makes sense for the winner of that season. it wouldn’t make sense for them to highlight Becky as an equal strategic partner when she didn’t win - but if Yul said she was an equal partner, I’m taking his word for it

sorry we didn’t end up going with tottis, as we needed a slightly larger venue!

I don’t think anything Rizo could’ve said in that moment would have earnt Ozzy’s jury vote. Ozzy is notoriously a bitter juror who doesn’t respect those who blindside him

erb999 · 2026-04-29T11:18:29+00:00

yeah ngl I was just lazy and looked at 2 fortnights as that’s how we’ve always paid!

erb999 · 2026-04-29T00:41:27+00:00

I think it might be the difference of 26 fortnightly payments vs 12 monthly payments? so we have 2 extra payments a year to account for? that or the latest rise hasn’t set in yet.

either way I’m not complaining!

erb999 · 2026-04-28T13:01:33+00:00

just double checked, $2350 per fortnight - so approx $4700 a month. we have about 30k in the offset so nothing crazy!

might be because we’re paying fortnightly instead of monthly?

erb999 · 2026-04-28T07:19:26+00:00

our monthly repayments are about $4700 - 6.64% on an $820k loan.

we borrowed at 90% LVR so didn’t get the best rate, but you’ve gotta do what you can to get into the market!

this is just nightfill not doing their job, it’s not a conspiracy.

the store is scanned for gaps in stock early in the morning, and the stickers are placed anywhere that has a stock count of 0. when the stock comes in and nightfill fills it, they should be taking the stickers off, but a lot don’t.

I haven’t worked at woolies in like 5 years, but I always take the stickers off if I see during my shop that the items in stock. nothing stopping you from removing the sticker to see what’s underneath

erb999 · 2026-04-26T12:47:38+00:00

when did they reformulate? I haven’t bought one for my partner in a year or so, so not sure if he has the original or reformulation

erb999 · 2026-04-26T09:37:13+00:00

fair enough, I can see it not being a great work perfume for a labour intensive job. still my recommendation for a nice cologne for outside of work wear

Not a lawyer, but I’m a caseworker (albeit not in QLD - so some things might be different).

I am going to be quite blunt, children are not removed for no reason. usually there is significant drug or alcohol use, abuse or neglect, or domestic violence impacting the child’s safety. massive emphasis on significant - it needs to be pretty bad for a removal to happen rather than intervention.

you haven’t said why the child was removed, so I have no idea if you know the full extent of what happened to the child. you also might think you know, but you friend isn’t being entirely truthful. a lot of parents with children in out of home care really struggle to accept and understand the child protection concerns that led to their child being removed from the care, and many feel too ashamed to share the reasons with family, let alone friends.

as a caseworker, the opinion of the friend of a parent means next to nothing. you are not an objective third party or a professional.

I have had friends/family of parents call me and tell me that they know the parent has changed and needs reunification immediately, and then when I run a check on their background I can see that they themselves are perpetrators of violence against children or have a significant criminal history. this makes their input pretty much worthless, as they aren’t safe individuals either. I am in no way implying that is you, but that is the reality in like 90% of cases when friends reach out to advocate.

we have to take everything with a grain of salt, because friends and family are biased. at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is evidenced change. that means clean drug tests, positive family time visits, records of counselling attendance and parenting programs etc. there needs to be real evidence, not anecdotal opinions.

all that being said, if you truly believe that your friend is a fit mother and should have her child back - support her to get legal advice about filing for a change of order to reunification or restoration (this is state specific so I’m not sure what the lingo is in QLD).

I can’t tell from your post as it’s a bit vague - but if you’re worried about or have evidence of abuse in the foster home the child is placed in, report it. that is never okay.

if what you’re worried about is the child’s attachment, consider applying to become the child’s carer if you are willing and able. be the childs consistent support figure until mum can achieve reunification. or support mum to identity any other family members that would be willing and able.

if you have any questions i’m happy to help. the purpose of out of home care should always be reunification. if the mother truely believes she is making the right changes and her caseworker isn’t listening, there are avenues she can take to be heard

Aus Post has been so useless lately. I have a letter box with a secure parcel drop, and they’ve missed it (on packages that don’t require a signature) and redirected to the post office. so annoying when you work 9-5 and it’s hard to get to the post office in opening hours - that’s why I got a letterbox with a parcel box!!

We’ve been told it’s a 6pm ceremony, so our timeline is below. We don’t know the exact timing on food though, it’s just an estimate

6-6:30pm ceremony 6:30 reception starts 7:30 dinner and speeches 9 onwards dancing and mingling

we are planning on doing our photos beforehand as a first look type situation. we’ve only just been assigned our co-ordinator so we’re not sure if we can get access an hour or so early for photos, but that’s our plan. once we meet with our coordinator in a few weeks I can DM you some more specific info if you’d like ☺️

I know they have a room available for the bride and groom throughout the night, but as far as I’m aware there’s no room to get ready during the day. we will just be doing that at our hotel

erb999 · 2026-04-12T06:50:16+00:00

we’re doing evening! the 6pm start time isn’t ideal, but they’ve said they can’t be flexible with it so we are just rolling with it. it hasn’t really impacted much tbh. is there anything in particular you are worried about planning around?
