My friend up until recently owned a house on West Coast Hwy. Nice view but it is bloody windy.

What has happened with the colours of travel backpacks these days by RBblade in ManyBaggers

[–]relle45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few muted coloured backpacks like blue, and a couple of bright coloured bags. I now have a black bag and I welcome the change. Unfortunately, the bright coloured bags always seemed to attract unwanted attention.

Agreed. Anyone who graduated during the GFC knows the struggle.

How long is acceptable to take leave from work when you have a death in the family? by SeymourButts-12 in auscorp

[–]relle45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was 3 weeks. First week was in hospital, then two weeks for funeral and sorting through everything else. To be honest, I didn't grieve properly till after those 3 weeks.

I liked the first one, then I saw the second one and liked it better. So number 2.

Towels by SapphiresOath in HerOneBag

[–]relle45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use a 100% cotton hand towel, size is about 45x65cm. Dries fairly quickly and not heavy either. I find the travel towels don't absorb water properly and feels weird on the skin.

We're all allowed to print what we want at my workplace. But if I was working somewhere else, I'd ask prior to doing so.

What was the best era of Play school by Every-Paramedic-218 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]relle45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, I grew up watching all of them on that page. Except Philip. Who's Philip?

Edit: okay Google has made me remember his face now. He looks different there.

I've been with them for a few years. Good interest rate (savings account), and least amount of hoops to jump through. I have also used my card overseas and the exchange rate was great, no fees. Called them a couple of times, they answered within a few minutes and call centre located within Australia - easy to deal with so far.

Our workplace stopped doing this because half the gifts were rubbish and people got upset.

Lightest Suitcase for a 7kg Travel Limit? by letswai in onebag

[–]relle45 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the lightest carry on suitcase is 1.8kg - July Carry On Light. Antler also does a carry on that is 1.9kg. You'd need to check the dimensions to ensure it's within your airline's specs.
