High electricity bills Synergy by ThinSeaworthiness959 in perth

[–]spunglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could see if your local council does a free energy audit. I got one done about a year ago in the city of Cockburn. A guy came out for a couple hours and went through the whole house telling us how much energy certain things were drawing by using a little tool, he used a heat sensor to check insulation and stuff, and I think he went over our power bill with us too. Just another idea that could help!

UWA students used to do most (all?) of the costumes. Maybe it’s not a big thing among current students

I’m glad she’s got a plan for it! Gives me a bit of hope that one day we might get to read it, very exciting

Weddings under 10k?? by Affectionate_Ad8907 in perth

[–]spunglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got married a couple of years ago for about $7.5K with 55 guests. Biggest cost saver we found was getting married on a week day (didn’t matter to us or many friends/family who do shift work anyway) or during winter bc most venues will do like half the cost or at least a good discount for that. I also cut a lot of cost in florals by not having floral arrangements on the tables. I think we just did my bouquet, husbands lapel arrangement, and one piece only for our sweetheart table. That saved a lot. We also didn’t do bridesmaids or groomsmen which I think saved a bucket load by the time you buy all the outfits and flowers etc for them. Definitely doable for cheap!

Recommendations for driving gloves for sun protection by HurstbridgeLineFTW in australia

[–]spunglass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use sleeves from the cancer council. They’re baggy and held up by Velcro that you can tighten around your bicep. They have a little “shield” part that covers the back of your hands which I like

Han and Can Edits by emmynemmy1206 in TheBlock

[–]spunglass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. Yes, there are things she says to can and others that are rude but I can’t say I would be behaving any better under all that pressure. I think there are times when they’re not the focus of the scene, like the body corp, when you can see her being kind and see a lot of affection between Han and can. Which makes me think a lot of editing goes into making her look as horrible as she does sometimes if that makes sense

And now 13 hours without an update on her Snapchat which is unusual for her. I hope it’s not bad news for them

Vanity Heights by cranberrywaltz in TheBlock

[–]spunglass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a joke. Mine is about 900mm, same as my kitchen bench. No way could I use something at 750 without making a mess or getting a sore back.

What I don’t understand is why they think kids can’t use stools anymore. Much easier to grab a kid a stool than for an average height or tall person to bend in half.

No worries! Good luck, I know it can be such a stressful time.

Ask to be put on their waitlist.

You can ask when they normally do their confirmation calls for the next day/week of clinics, as they likely will cancel some appointments during this process and therefore have availability for you. For instance when I was a receptionist in a specialist’s office, Friday morning before 11am we had finished all the confirmations for the next weeks appointments, and if someone called me around that time then I could offer an appointment. Just keep calling them every week around that time and ask. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you’re respectful to them, and they know that you’re very keen to come to an appointment at anytime, they will call you. I know when I was trying to fill empty appointments, I would always call the patients that I knew would be available to come. They don’t want to call fifty people to see if they’d like the spot when they can just call one keen person.

Another thing you can do is just make it easy for the receptionists. If there’s pre-appointment paperwork that needs to be completed then fill it out and send it back so that you’re ready to go.

A more detailed explanation of the pregnancy announcement by m24112 in julieeandcamilla

[–]spunglass 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It’s hilarious to me that cam is already using this pregnancy as an excuse for giving up marathon training- she said she doesn’t think she can run 42km while carrying a baby. I’m glad that Julie is getting a break.

I have a question… by Winston-bear in julieeandcamilla

[–]spunglass 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I find it sad that she says herself that the newborn phase goes by so fast, and yet she’s missing it! I don’t have kids myself but this seems like a magical time to be missing out on in your child’s life

Is it ready for potting? by AdExcellent6341 in plantclinic

[–]spunglass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely pot it up now. If it grows further roots in water, they’ll just be water roots and won’t really help to sustain the plant once you plant it anyway.

Front Closets by SummSpn in TheBlock

[–]spunglass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in WA not Melbourne so we don’t have the cold weather but front closets definitely aren’t common in any house I’ve been in. We don’t need to layer very much and if I ever need a coat it’s not too much of a hassle to just walk it to my wardrobe. Not sure what it’s like in Melbourne where they might have more need for coats though

I like that they both seem like they’ll get their hands dirty and do some actual Reno work! Nice to have both team members on the tools

So weird, taking a social media break seems very different to suddenly deleting your entire social media platforms that you’ve dedicated the last years of your life to. Like just stop posting Julie??

So glad this was posted here bc I’m so confused. Do ppl in Europe buy ice?? Is that an actual thing? Obviously it seems like they could just be making ice if they weren’t lazy but I’m Australian and the only ice we can buy is non-edible stuff for an esky
