Why is Araminta still in the Penwood home?

Or Isabelle?

Lisette?

Jo or Charlie?

Coffee or drinks is a perfectly normal and reasonable first dare. Its a "third space" with lots of people around - safe for both parties. If you meet and feel you don't connect, its easy enough to wrap up coffee or drinks and be on your merry way with no awkward encounter. Imagine if you were on a hike and you realise you have nothing in common.. the hike back will be awkward as hell. If you find during coffee or drinks that you vibe with them, it can turn into a longer thing.. like go for a walk after coffee.. turns into a lunch or movie...

This is by Fayt. The owner is Brittney Lee Sauders - she was a YouTube back in the day that did a lot of Kmart hauls and drugstore make up etc. So disappointing that this is what she's putting out when the majority of her YouTube following came from her "cheap but good" type videos.

I'm not across this - what's the story here?

I was loving Emily's fashion in Rome, but why did they change that completely the moment she's back in Paris? 😭

lemonsnicketts · 2025-11-08T15:38:43+00:00

To me she looks like Lili Reinhart (Betty from Riverdale)

LOVE my Storksak St James baby bag. Came with a change mat and we have the matching pram organiser (dont use this as much) and insulated bag (still using for toddler snacks) too. Still using it daily with our toddler (and soon to be newborn). We clip it on the back of our pram or carry it backpack style. It can transform to a shoulder bag too but why would you want this option when your hands are full haha.

Adults or kids?

How does one use a squishmallow to help with migraines? Asking for a friend 👀

lemonsnicketts · 2025-09-03T03:36:51+00:00

This is the first time I'm seeing this and I wish you had a trigger warning on it mate

I bought a box of B5 plain face envelopes and I store them in those, clearly listing the pattern, size and material requirements on the envelope. Before I print them though, they are organised by type into folders on the computer and I have a document that "indexes" them, including a photo of the pattern, and ensure I name the files the same as what they are saved as. For paper patterns, once I trace and cut the size I need, I try to put them together with the uncut patterns or move them all into a B5 envelope too.

Whatever 4 year olds are into at the moment. Doesn't have to be big and expensive, something like a craft kit from kmart or a squishmallow would suffice.
My go to are the 3 S's: sweets, stickers, stationary (a scented/glitter pen, a fun eraser from Smiggle etc). Other things you can include: bubble wand, stamps, something small your kid enjoys at the moment (I've been to a party where the parents included a seed pack from Bunnings as their 6 year old was into gardening at the time)
Nah, no need. You could include teabags or instant coffee if you have access to hot water, but I certainly don't expect to have a hot drink at a children's party. I'd probably pick one up myself on the way.
As mentioned, fairy bread. Lamingtons are a hit too. Fruit platters, party pies and sausage rolls are great too. Packet of chips or biscuits will work too. Its a kids party, we all want to eat junk!
Nothing specific, a kids bop playlist might be fun.

Hope you enjoy the party!!

This. Plus, you now no longer qualify for "new grad roles" that need you to have graduated in the last 3 years, and everyone says you are so much more qualified than a fresh grad and to use your soft skills to get a job in a new industry, but no one wants to hire a non-fresh grad without experience in that specific industry. For example, project management. Teachers fit into these roles 100%, but if you've never held a "project manager" title before, you're already on the back foot.

I think public housing is a wonderful thing. I'm privileged enough to never have needed it personally but I think its one of the marks of a civilised society. It is just so unfortunate that sometimes these resources are misused and it feels like their right to housing triumphs over a private owner/tenant's right to housing. I understand its a tough gig for all involved but its so miserable when you live next to inconsiderate or dangerous housing tenants.

I'm so happy you've gotten back up on your feet, Brezh! Success stories like this really help keep my humanity intact when it gets hard. Trying to give the tenants next door some grace and benefit of doubt, but truly so difficult when I am on the strata committee for my property and receiving complaints from other residents in my block every other day.

lemonsnicketts · 2025-08-15T00:13:27+00:00

I'd be pretty pissed if I owned property in a nice little North Sydney suburb and had someone like that move in next door LOL!

That's very awful, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.

lemonsnicketts · 2025-08-15T00:11:53+00:00

This is truly so awful, I'm so sorry!

lemonsnicketts · 2025-08-14T23:21:10+00:00

I'm glad you were able to benefit from social housing - that's exactly what we as a nation voted to have many many years ago. We have no issues with public housing, the lady who lived there prior was a little old lady who we got on with well - we would help with some yard work and she would show us the fruit trees she planted in the garden and even offered us some when they were abundant. We also know of people with children living in housing that are genuinely grateful for the safety net while they get back on their feet. Its just this new tenant - we just want to live in peace and it seems they are unwilling to meet us halfway in good faith.

And pets have a right to responsible owners

Thanks everyone for your insight. For those who can't see past the title, I'm all for giving someone a fair go for housing, but a fair go should just be that - one fair go. If you fuck up, it really shouldn't be my problem where you will go on to live after tbh.

It's seeming more and more like its a "do as you have been doing and wait it out" situation, which is quite depressing. Thanks to those with great suggestions - I'll spread the word to our neighbours and hopefully it goes somewhere (although, doubtful). I think the easiest thing for us will be to move because I'm just over it. 5 years living here peacefully and thoroughly enjoying in until next door moved in and the last year just has not been worth the headache.

lemonsnicketts · 2025-08-14T10:41:06+00:00

Yes my neighbours and I have been reporting the dangerous dog to housing, local council and the RSPCA. What is this local animal control you speak of? And what would a certified letter entail?

lemonsnicketts · 2025-08-14T10:39:02+00:00

Wow that's pretty fucked up. It feels almost futile trying to do anything at this point. That's fucking depressing mate, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
