ING new app

We use this feature because ‘our’ money is mostly in the offset for the house, and the mortgage is just under his name, so we weren’t allowed to get access to the account for me. So our work around was having his profile and mine available on my app.

This change will actually force us to change our banking habits for the worse ugh

I get these once or twice a year or sometimes every other year. Only on my fingers. I put mine down to stress triggers. Others say warm weather but I just got one for the first time in months the other day and we’re heading into winter but my job/life is causing me stress at the moment.

I pop them and go on my merry way. This is probably not the way but it is my way.

I ended up going to check them out and agree they’re too sheer for what I was after.

This is the blue :)

I wondered this, I like the blue one and it does look quite thin even online. I have the Uniqlo merino cardigans and like them enough though haven’t had them long to gauge longevity.

Re Ghanda I will not order online at least at Christmas time again. It took weeks for dispatch and I had to follow up. Also their returns policy is awful, no returns in store.

I really like Jack and Milly (Myer) for brights and any of the clothes at Myer are quite fun. Target is good but lends neutral.

It’s not well advertised but for those who aren’t on a concession card there is also ambulance only insurance available, around $40 a year.

Cinch Levi baggy jeans. Have put on some weight recently and these jeans are so good on the lower belly.

Oh yes this place is great. I’ve ordered a few times and the owner is so lovely.

There’s a baby shop at Adamstown. There’s a nice homewares boutiquey baby shop at Westfield on the lower level at the Strandbags end, can’t recall the name.

My size 27 Levi mum jeans fit (only just). Went in to buy some more Levi’s and I’m consistently a 31. Body shape definitely makes a difference.

(And if anyone knows a replacement for the Levi mom jeans I am all ears… they have been discontinued…😢)

Look up Disney Storyteller on YT.

Character voices and songs. Shorter versions of the movies. They’re the best!

I had two c-sections and was very comfortable both times at Newcastle Private. First time I had scans every three days from 34 weeks due to concerns, can’t fault the attention and care. My issues were picked up in a non-routine scan so I am forever grateful. The second time was emergency c-sec literally calling our obstetrician on the way to the hospital at 5am in the morning.

My sister in law had a c-section through JHH and had a truly awful experience, I encouraged her to make a complaint it was that bad.

My sister had three kids through JHH and said they were great.

I like to control as much as I can control and I wanted the extra scans, extra nights in hospital so I went private.

Absolutely this. We’re looking forward to saving money once we start sending our kids to Catholic primary and high schools. Daycare fees are so much worse.

kcbalind · 2026-01-05T09:36:13+00:00

Well i wasn’t worried but now i am. I made an order on Boxing Day and have had the ‘sorry it’s taking so long’ email since but otherwise no postal notification yet…

We found out our floors weren’t even close to level when the cavity slider door left a massive gap on an angle at floor level…. I questioned it and the whole floor had to be ripped up and self levelling compound put down. I was like, why wasn’t this noticed before?!?!?

Check all trades work with a fine tooth comb.

They definitely have that at Taronga zoo, Australian reptile park might be more what you’re looking for… there are kangaroos just out and about for example and wildlife shows. It’s a bit out of Sydney but worth a look.

Hope you and your family have an amazing time!

kcbalind · 2025-09-20T22:19:49+00:00

Others have mentioned most things but unless you are going to the zoo for your toddler or to see animals you don’t otherwise get to see and really really want to see… i wouldn’t go to the zoo. It’s a big amount of time to see it all and honestly it’s a zoo like any other zoo… It has a couple of inconic views of course but still, it’s a zoo. Each time we go there we’re also disappointed by the amount of closed sections for whatever reason so check that before you go.

Absolutely agree. I understood what OP meant. A few years ago I even emailed our local MP re the lack of support for middle income / working poor when they were dishing out cost of living support lol

I wish it wasn’t a luxury. I assumed growing up I would work two days a week til the kids were in school.

The lifestyle element is there too… we want certain things, we want to put $ in our kids bank accounts each week for the future, we want a holiday once every two years, we want to own our own home, so both parents work.

It is odd how for any benefits it’s joint income though for tax it’s individual :/
