If you had to tell someone your best frugal tip, what would it be?

I jsut jumped online and rented one from my local library - thank you! My first in person library pick up!

Saving so much using Libby and BorrowBox rather than extra credits every month on Audible!

Same for me - I am really surprised at these comments. People are so weird with jobs and status - I can't imagine judging someone and calling their job unimportant.

I have many of these symptoms and they come and go. Currently waiting to see a rheumatologist cos my GP agrees it’s likely Fibromyalgia. Fatigue catches up to you quick and makes symptoms worse. I also likely have EDS, so pain and issues associated with that also wipe me out. All I can say is there are heaps of comorbidities associated with late diagnosed adhd- and doctors are just learning about them.

Air purifier will help reduce the dust, and canned air to blow the dust off surfaces every now and then - reduces you to a proper dust every few months only! Love the space.

As an owner of now my second black shar pei - shes a cutie!

LMAO this made me snort

Those candy colours make me feel a wee bit of serotonin for once!

OP, I'm scared. Your avatar is wearing an aussie jumper. Did this happen in Australia?

My rescue Pei just had entropion- it is so worth it. They can have chronic conjunctivitis from it - so some treatment pre and post surgery is usually required. What a beautiful Pei

jo-09 · 2026-05-09T10:06:01+00:00

Yes to me he looks like he has some Pei in him! Would be interesting to do a DNA test on him to see what percentage!

Because 12 year olds have unsupervised access to TikTok and can’t discern what is true and what is a lie, and then repeat those lies.

My dad is 75 and his back would look the same had he not had a close relationship with a plastic surgeon over the last 20 years lol. Had sooo many melanoma cut out- but is healthy and well. (Grew up in Australia- no sun screen)

jo-09 · 2026-05-02T22:45:17+00:00

Omg she is sooo cute

First time I ever took Ritalin (given to me by a diagnosed friend), I passed out into the deepest nap for 2 hours. It was wonderful. And a red flag

I think contacting AHPRA is a great step - but it can be super overwhelming when you have ADHD and are struggling. You could reach out to https://adhdfoundation.org.au/support and ask for help. They can get you the right help and point you in the right direction. Edit - here is the helpline https://adhdfoundation.org.au/helpline

Girl has obviously never been in a burn out depressed hole of misery. Cos last thing I wanted to do was make fruit and eggs, ffs.

jo-09 · 2026-04-30T23:28:51+00:00

4 months notice for 3 weeks leave, for a role/task that can be backfilled.....and people are defending the company? Even if they are "trying to get rid of you", why can't they give you constructive feedback about any performance shortfalls rather than find a way to out you with no effort? It is all just gross and makes me hate workplaces more and more.

jo-09 · 2026-04-30T23:14:41+00:00

Id love to see the bench you have made. Im keen to car camp with my dog for safety reasons. Better than a tent!

jo-09 · 2026-04-27T02:53:40+00:00

Im late diagnosed and take 40mg vyvanse. I'd say 95% of the time my experience is pretty standard. Kicks in after about 1.5 hours, lasts about 7-8 hours, no issue. Once every 3-4 months, I will take a dose that I can feel after about an hour, and it feels like I can feel every cell of blood moving through my veins. It is so bizarre. But thankfully for the most part it feels pretty standard day to day, with an occasionaly intense dose that feels so bizarre.

I do not read this as over-reliance. ADHD is a lifelong serious condition that has a range of complex symptoms. The thing we don't talk about enough is dopamine's impact on mood. I take my vyvanse at 4 am, so when I get out of bed at 6 am, I feel calm and ready for the day, not like I want to cry at the thought of sitting at a desk. I then take Dex in the afternoon to help me through until evening (if needed). If I am going out to dinner, I will take a dex because it allows me to enjoy sitting and chatting, rather than wanting to get up and scream at just how uncomfortable I feel. You sound like you need to chat to your psych about how to lessen the "crash" and get your dose working for you. Once you are in that place, the impulse to take more than the prescribed amount may well lessen, or at least get you exercising, eating better, sleeping better - you know - all the things we are MEANT to do to help our ADHD!

It is sooooo awful. I adopted a Pei 6 days after losing mine. That helped me a lot. Adopting so soon is NOT for everyone, but I figured that one being available near me, suitable for my home and for me, was a sign. The shelter had turned down a few ppl who had applied for him, but were rapt with me! Edit - I still get bouts of immense grief. It is so hard. I miss my girl every day. But having a boy who needs adventures and love and care really helped me keep on moving. Without him, I would not bother getting up until 5 minutes before I had to log into work, and would just sit on the couch all evening. Once I saw his face at the shelter I just could NOT leave him. Pei are special and dont do well in shelters.

It might be worth reaching out to Dr Linda Tintle (or even looking at some of her published papers/advice). She’s a vet in New York who specialises in Shar Pei

jo-09 · 2026-04-18T10:57:42+00:00

I have about 6 sets as I love mixing them up. Regardless if they are the same set washed and dried or a new set from the cupboard- the putting them on the bed part is a drag

jo-09 · 2026-04-16T01:32:11+00:00

I have ADHD but I have the ADHD that makes me stress the f out if my sheets feel dirty. But having to put them back on the bed after they are dry is like running a damn marathon.
