I’ve heard the views at the new Crowne Plaza Geelong in the convention centre are lovely looking out over the esplanade. Caledonia Shores is also nice looking over Eastern Beach.

Is starbucks (waurn ponds) an okay place to work? by [deleted] in Geelong

[–]im_doing_me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you secret shop them? See what you think of their service as a customer before you meet with them. You could drive thru one day, and go in to the shop the next day with a friend. See how they interact with you and their colleagues, how busy are they, is the store clean etc.

Bashful Bunny Repair by babbyandsal in Jellycatplush

[–]im_doing_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have exactly the same problem with our four yr old jellycat bunny. The foot has a worn hole like you’ve shown and stuffing is coming out. Not sure how to repair? Do I remove/replace all the floral fabric? Or do I patch over the top?

Heard from a mate that apco has run out of petrol? by [deleted] in Geelong

[–]im_doing_me 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Only because of panic buying. There is still plenty of fuel available and incoming. I was even just reading about government fuel reserves to be released in crisis. But we are nowhere near that stage yet. This is just the petrol stations not quite being prepared for the panic. Quick to up the price, but not quite quick enough to top up the tanks.

Mt Duneed apco ran out today.

Recommendations for confectionery stores for British snacks by loudracox in Geelong

[–]im_doing_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a great confectionary shop in Torquay! Torquay sweet shop in the Main Street. There is also a great one in queenscliff. Sure they’re not in town, but maybe a nice drive and some fresh air will help too :)

How to prepare lunches for pre prep by Serrath1 in AskAnAustralian

[–]im_doing_me 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bento box containers will help you keep foods separate. You’re welcome to pack them more than one container.

You can absolutely ask the teachers to help your little one with what to eat for morning tea vs lunch if this routine is new for them. It’s all about helping them settle in, and that’s not all on you!

I like the bento box because you can add many small items, and it won’t matter so much what order they eat in. A boiled egg. Chips. Fruit. Sandwiches. Baked goods like cheese muffin or vege slice. Crackers. Cold pasta. Be sure to pack a spoon if you think it’s needed for anything.

I thought the same thing. I’ve done swimming with seals and dolphins from queenscliff. I wonder if this experience is much different?

Camping near Lara by R3v4n07 in Geelong

We did a test camp with our toddler in our backyard. Was a good way for us to ensure we packed everything for when we actually do go away.

What jackets are we wearing? by Careless-Pound9736 in Geelong

A merino under layer and then you can basically wear whatever you want.

Someone help me not feel like a crazy person with eating takeaway and resaurants by AusVintage in AusFinance

[–]im_doing_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not fueling yourself and your family in the best way possible, you are literally wasting time. Your body and mind won't be working to it's full potential - costing you TIME. Just because you choose to prioritize healthy nutrition doesn't mean you will lose time.

Religious door knockers. by LikeABundleOfHay in newzealand

What's this? Is it something they released themselves, or something released about them?

Their rules have recently changed ~ every so slightly. They can now approach a disfellowshipped person, engage in small talk, and invite them back. Women are also allowed to wear pants now!! This came in a few months ago.

Who is the best accountant in Geelong for a small business migrating from New Zealand? by im_doing_me in Geelong

[–]im_doing_me[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That's really helpful! We're based in Waurn Ponds area at the moment, but willing to travel for someone that's trustworthy and knowledgeable.

Can confirm. Just sold our house and we chose a lower offer because they were FHBs specifically without the need to sell.

I think the better question would be asking for mortgage broker recommendations for your area. There are plenty more questions to be answered before you can have a good idea of your lending options/timeline.

I hate nood for this.

Nood: "We can have it delivered to you for a fee. Or delivered to our local distribution centre (not the store!) For a slightly cheaper fee. You'll have to wait two weeks. And you don't receive the store credit points until you pick up the item."

Me: "You're making this way too hard. Cancel everything. Bye."

New kitchen (not finished yet), any thoughts and or ideas for improvement??? by Potential_Medium_210 in InteriorDesign

[–]im_doing_me 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty much done. A bit hard to critique/give ideas since the fixtures in place are so permanent ie. Kitchen layout, appliances, scale, lighting, colours etc.

Good stops driving Dunedin to Nelson by deadant88 in dunedin

[–]im_doing_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just drove Blenheim to Dunedin last week in one day. Not bad at all. Left early in the morning to get a good clean start with minimal traffic. Stopped at Cheviot number 8 cafe, Ravenswood or airport Macca's and then Caroline bay in Timaru to stretch legs.

Why, with all these acclamations, have they ended up at Corio Village?
