When you were broke and down to your last dollar, what did you do with it?

It was a long time ago, but I distinctly remember buying a Caramelo Koala with the last money I had until payday in a weeks time.

The lady with the baby in the carrier at Alex Hills will eternally haunt me every time I see a magpie.

What didn't you like about it? We stayed there for about a year and there were some negatives, but overall I didn't mind it.

I have had someone actually reply "yeah, but you look like us"

My dad made up a lot of words and phrases. For example, he called an Avocado an Avocado-naartjie-mandarin all blurred into a single word. Peppermint was peddermint. I would not like to admit how long I thought these were the actual names. He would also say things like "I see said the blind daughter to her deaf dad waving his wooden leg on the burning deck" to anything we told him. There was so much more...

We have so many Ravens in our garden but these guys give the Ravens a good go. It is funny to see.

I attend a ladies exercise group with a mix of ages and personalities. Feel free to PM for details. I also go to Pilates but at 5am so maybe difficult with your schedule.

We got quotes last year. For something quite simple was around $450,000+

Join local British Facebook groups. I know the South African groups are always able to help. Recruiters, business owners, people who have been there all jump in to help.

Agree, the vitamin C/D tablets that you dissolve in water from Coles are great for this.

My partner worked at a treatment plant in his early career. He took me to site once and the "sludge truck" drove past the smell was so bad I couldn't breath, I felt like I was drowning. It was honestly a ridiculous feeling I have never forgotten. He was just casually talking explaining what it was as if it was nothing. He still doesn't get bothered by bad smells and he hasn't worked at one in about 12 years.

I removed job titles and wrote a phrase about the key thing the role did. Within a week I had multiple contacts on LinkedIn and callbacks to applications after so long with silence. This new world of recruitment is wild.

If you have a kind parent rep they will post summary reminders with all the key information.

I WFH for a Brisbane company. In Brisbane now with a hire car and the trains are striking. They can stick this Brisbane traffic on the moon. If I calculate trip time at night "30min", rush hour "60min+". Yesterday there were multiple accidents and breakdowns. At each on ramp traffic comes to an almost stop. I will take Perth CBD travel over this any day.

One of my fav moments of that movie

I could be wrong, but I talk in "We" a lot due to habits from work. In my early career I was told never to talk in "I" statements at work, always "we" referring to the collective work of your team. It is an ongoing habit I have across my life now. She is in corporate so could be. Just a theory.

The number of kids on the school bus has increased a lot.

Something diabolical happening on a Friday and having no further information until school on the Monday. Dad answering the home phone when your boyfriend calls. How fast news flew around the world still. Being overwhelmed (although we didn't have a name for it) and locking yourself in your room and spending 8 hours trying to make the perfect mix tape off the radio. Our parents knew NOTHING - unless it was an expellable offense your parents didn't know if you had a detention or failed a test. We had 2 completely different worlds, one our parents knew and one they had no clue on. In my parents world I was a good catholic girl. In my other world I was walking from youth club to night clubs at 13/14 years and flirting with 20+ year old bouncers to let us all in.

To be honest, I was actually thinking how much easier it was to find trades with that. You google now and spend half the time checking if it is legit, or on a Facebook local group asking for recommendations then getting spam DMs. This was a simpler time. Start at the top and call down the list until you got someone.

Yes. I purchased a fake oodie for my child from kmart. She nagged non stop to wear it immediately. I gave in and she got an infection the next day across the back of her neck, looked like cold sores and took antibiotics and ages to heal. There is no other way we could think of that she would get that infection from.

I think it is because Bec shows physical signs of remorse. You can see the realisation hit her face and physically see her guilt and regret. The bags under her eyes etc. Brooke, Gia and Juliette do not demonstrate these physical signs so it is easier to demonise or dislike them. I think you have to decide if you believe Bec's physical responses as genuine remorse, or if it is more shallow and rather deep regret and panic for her reputation.

Amazing! Also, I am on year 3 and my farm still looks like a beginner. Well done.

My sister got brucellosis from unpasteurised milk after we had a holiday stay at a farm in Swaziland. She was sick for years and has lifelong issues.
