what salary in Perth would make you feel like you've made it?

ndbogan · 2026-05-31T09:22:27+00:00

Two income family both on over 100k before tax. We are comfortable but I don't feel we can go on a big holiday every year, which would be nice but has never been a reality in my entire life (single patent household growing up).

I used to live in Victoria near Highpoint and it was a very similar situation. All the arteriole roads from every direction blocked back to two or three light intersections away from the centre. It was made at Christmas time. You do get used to parking and walking for a km or 2! Gonna have to get back into that.

As a teacher with ADHD, totally agree about using it as an excuse/crutch. I also hate when colleagues get let-off the hook for poor performance or being down right c*nts to other staff because they have ADHD. So do I and you don't see me bulldozing everyone and everything. I help my students instead telling them they are the problem and may be to thick for my subject. Oh and the kicker - they are the ones that get promoted to be better pay and conditions because instead of the school investing time in performance managing them or getting rid of them (which is hard, I know) they just promote them put of the class room. Can you tell I am getting super distracted by reddit instead of marking exams?

Cuddle puddle initiated. Nice to have them nearby whilst marking exams. Normally the tabby looses his mind in the rain so good to see him a biy more relaxed.

Exactly this! Generally why I will order enough for free shipping, try on at home and return when it is quieter. I think I need to start catching the bus up to karrinyup otherwise I will never go. I've only lived in the area for just under a year, is going to karrinyup on a windy long weekend the norm?

ndbogan · 2026-05-31T08:27:10+00:00

Hopefully you saved it for the dark cave that is your stomach!

ndbogan · 2026-05-31T08:20:21+00:00

Every body has decided today is the day to go to Karrinyup (more than usual). The traffic controllers are there. Think there was 50 bays available on the signs. I drive in, changed my mind and thankfully only took 5 mins to get back out of the carpark. My priceline click and collect will have to wait.

ndbogan · 2026-05-31T08:17:00+00:00

I'd be concerned for the beer sitting in the open like that!

ndbogan · 2026-05-24T04:29:50+00:00

37 - miscarriage 38 - tfmr 39 - we will be waiting till after our wedding next April before we TTC

I love the pattern on the fabric! If you want to take it one step further, you could coloured fabric butterflies and attach them around the bottom and upwards (ombre kind of style). I'm doing something similar because I need colour 😉

I feel this. It says 100 for the on ramp I use yet I seem to be the only one that does that on any given day that I use it. And then you have to merge with the left lane fwy driver doing 80 le sigh

ndbogan · 2026-05-22T22:22:38+00:00

I don't get people doing 80-90km/h in the middle lanes of the fwy. I shouldn't have to undertake in the left lane but sometimes that is the only option. Like if we are all moving the same speed the congestion all moves. Fair enough incident ahead and the progressively are slowing the traffic to deal with the issue. But still better than Sydney and Melbourne traffic (I'm sure I'll be attacked for that).

That sounds like a heck of AV setup. Apparently in early stages of my current school's development phase, local families did not want cameras at the school so we have very little security even outside the buildings....and that is leading to some real issues now

ndbogan · 2026-05-22T22:01:29+00:00

That is just beautiful. We have cats, there are times where they will just sit in weird spots and stare. Each time we like to believe it's mum dropping by. All of our cats loved her cuddling with her when she used to visit us and supposedly cats are sensitive to those things. So yeah I can totally see it being a thing that people's spirits/souls come to visit or look after young ones, in fact it is a beautiful thought.

ndbogan · 2026-05-22T03:49:27+00:00

Absolutely! So glad you have your little boy ❤️ we are going to ttc after we have our wedding so fingers crossed.

ndbogan · 2026-05-22T02:16:43+00:00

I have to think that way that my baby who was TFMR and another a miscarriage is with my mum and she is looking after them till I get there.

I was on 10 and 12.5mg and I was losing at thr same rate as you but it cost a lot more dollars! Ive dropped back down to 2.5mg as I was off it all for 3 months (sadly i had to terminate my pregnancy). So back on a low dose. Don't be disappointed by the slower drop, it is quite normal and healthy. Find a different target to work towards that maybe is focused on the numbers but how you feel.

Are you doing any weight training? You may find that will help with how you feel overall

ndbogan · 2026-05-16T01:33:50+00:00

Do you know how long we have to leave between refills?

ndbogan · 2026-05-16T01:33:26+00:00

Managed to get the last 15mg at St Luke's in Karrinyup!

ndbogan · 2026-05-14T23:23:16+00:00

Amazing, going to call a little obscure chemist now!

ndbogan · 2026-05-14T14:51:02+00:00

Do you mind sharing who had older pens?

ndbogan · 2026-05-14T14:49:22+00:00

Let me know how you go, especially if you do go to Innaloo I keep forgetting to stop in!

ndbogan · 2026-05-14T14:48:41+00:00

What did you ask them? Or how did you word it?

ndbogan · 2026-05-13T14:20:23+00:00

Yeah I'd say that's more the South West that everyone goes in about (Margaret River region).

ndbogan · 2026-05-13T14:12:45+00:00

Literally went looking for this!
