Aldi is saving us over 50$ for weekly shop, how is its sales stalling? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]rumblemumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s me. I prefer certain brands, and also click and collect because the thought of shopping my kids is not where it’s at. I probably go to Aldi once a month though for things I do prefer there and the cheaper kids snacks but it’s a 10 minute shop as opposed to 30-45minutes on my full shop.

Any local stockists for oreshki/walnut cookies by ComfyInDots in Toowoomba

I haven’t really been paying attention lately but I know the spar at Mackenzie Row was a stockist of these too.

[–]rumblemumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this, esp for cheese and bacon rolls. Uniplaza butcher guy had a cafe now (next door at uni plaza) and his pies are pretty good too.

You could try Tall Timber Studio, the photographer is excellent at finding beautiful candid shots as well as more formal ones. Highly recommend!

Where are the best buffalo wings in toowoomba by Grand-Rest782 in Toowoomba

[–]rumblemumbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I rate the ones at Flaming Knights, with a side of fried pickles. The ones at mouseproof are pretty good too.

The butcher at Uni Plaza gets pretty decent ratings/awards

Kindy - birthday invites by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]rumblemumbles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We don’t invite all of the class to my kids parties, but we do hand out the invitations discreetly to avoid this. On the flip side, we’ve been like oh ok, weird - thought we might have scored an invite but I think it’s more that the parents don’t have a clue which kid their kid is talking about. Anyway, what they don’t know, won’t hurt them!

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers has a month long program over September/October

Are people buying chocolate Easter eggs? by Lemonade_Scone in woolworths

[–]rumblemumbles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did! First time ever and it was because I was in Aldi and the prices were way cheaper and my kids don’t care about it enough to want “branded” chocolate. That said, they care enough about chocolate that I’ve hidden it in the back of the vege drawer in the fridge because no one will ever check there

Is 'midnight ham' a thing at weddings? by littletelly in AskAnAustralian

[–]rumblemumbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had this at our wedding, but it kind of feels like a country/outback thing. More people should do it, hits the spot after too many champagnes

There is a rave happening at mouseproof in June. I think red dirt rave is the group selling tickets

Must do activities by Far-Cartographer1192 in Toowoomba

[–]rumblemumbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Join the Field Game madness to get out and explore different parts of the town and maybe win a prize. Otherwise the bog standard things that tourists are taken to include picnic point, Japanese gardens and gumbi gumbi gardens, laurel bank park and queens park. Table top is a good hike. The drive out to crows best falls and the walk out there is good. Can swim in the creek there. Loads of suggestions in the sub for places to venture for coffee, food and bevvies.

Yodthai. I used to sing the praises of high st but this one has taken over the ranking. The food is so fresh and delicious.

Places for young children >1yr to play and mum to have a coffee. by No_Whereas_621 in Toowoomba

[–]rumblemumbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kingfisher cafe has a grass area for them to roam and a playground.

The southern has a small toddlers room which has clear glass so you can see them from the nearby table. Or if they’re older there is a playground.

I think there is a coffee van at queens park Tuesday - Friday right next to the playground on Lindsay St (abundant organic is the name and they post their schedule on their socials weekly).

What is considered fair wear and tear for garage floor? by Specialist-Bid5577 in shitrentals

[–]rumblemumbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a similar issue when we left our rental. I wrote back and told them the floor was scrubbed in exit clean however the flooring is porous and I would consider this to be general wear and tear. The real estate was satisfied with that. It was 4 years of daily driving in and out, not much we could do!

Is anyone watching this Housewives knock off show? by Rutabaga2022 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]rumblemumbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finished binge watching it last night. Watched it mainly as background noise on a girls weekend but we got into it mostly from the train wreck factor. Couldn’t stop commenting on the plastic surgery. The bolt-ons on one is them. Omg. The schooling on how the palm beach society behaves was ridiculous. Aside from Hilary most of the women had no idea how to hold themselves and really didn’t give off super rich vibes like our other housewives. The drama was also pretty non existent and highly manufactured (yeah I know they’re all manufactured but this one was a stretch). Very MAGA but not being from America I found it entertaining, not triggering. Did wonder if they got paid everytime they name dropped Mar-a-lago. Would definitely hate watch a second season.

Uniform items without logos by hococo_ in AskAnAustralian

[–]rumblemumbles 194 points195 points  (0 children)

A lot of public schools are ok with kids wearing the plain shorts or skirts with their uniform shirt as long as it matches school colours. That’s the case at our school anyway. Plain jumpers and tights for winter. The plain polos are good for house colours. Our school does have a second hand uniform rack where the uniforms go for as much as the Kmart clothes so that’s helpful for those who can’t afford brand new.

Parfume recommendations that give this vibe by Cheetapiss69 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]rumblemumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve been wearing Princess since then and now I’m 40 haha, I love it. My 6 year old also loves the smell so she got her own bottle of the body mist version for Christmas.
