The last time I bought USD cash from the bank I walked in, spoke to the teller who hooked me up and I was out within maybe 4 minutes including them going to get the cash for me.
Today I was directed to take a seat as if I was there to apply for a home loan and nearly 50 minutes later was walked to a back ‘office’ and sat down like I was applying for a home loan, had to verify my email address, phone number and then verify via the mobile app that I was indeed sitting in front of someone at the bank, then re-state what I wanted. The guy went and got a single form for me to sign stating they’re giving me 4 x $20 and 2 x $10 notes, then quizzed me about what I do for a job and about my large savings account and what I’m saving up for, and I said no I’m not looking for a home loan right now, then he just walked me to the teller which I’d been sitting next to who had been there with no line in front of her for the entire time I was there and she sold me the cash. I very rarely complain but I complained and remained obviously angry that this was taking so long during my entire chat with the guy in his little office but he still felt it was a good idea to give me a little quiz rather than just sell me the fucking piddly $100 cash I came in for.
CommBank, you fucking SUCK now.
So I was cleaning my teeth when I heard this odd sound of water glugging in the shower.
Turn around to see Zooks with her fluffy bum hovering over the drain, pissing down it.
Saves on the scooping, I suppose…I need to wash some dishes but can’t do that while also lying down in bed.
I’m sure you understand the difficulty.
I need to unpack the dishwasher and have a shower but I am sitting on the couch. Its definitely a conundrum
Just did the dishwasher, now sitting on the couch. Beat ya.
And you didn’t do mine while you were in the kitchen? rude!
You snooze, you loose. But can you grab me a Turkish delight while you’re up? Thanks 😊
🍬 there you go. I know when I am beat 🙂
Ta! Hopefully the fairies came and unloaded it for you.
It doesn’t look pretty with the Maltesers but I tell you what it works.
😮 It’s what’s inside that counts🤤
It looks delicious. I love the idea of crushed maltesers as a topping .
I gave my 5 year old niece a kazoo
Satan calls me for ideas
My mother in law gave our 5 year old a very loud toy WHISTLE… sounds like you mix in the same circles 🤣 👿
And it’s so easy when you’re evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I’m evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I’ll ever needThe whole point of that carol is that ONLY a divine figure of mercy can tolerate a kid playing drums all the time. Maybe for Xmas?
Elder finally got picture of elusive rabbit
omg
That looks like a pet rabbit, I wonder if it is possible to catch it and have a vet scan it for a microchip.
You’ll prolly need a towel and a heap of patience. Try to throw the towel over the bunny and that should keep it calm, and if you pick it up it is best to tuck it into your elbow and armpit while keep it’s back legs supported, and it’s front legs in your other hand. This should stop it from kicking and possibly breaking its back.
Leafy greens should be a good coaxing method, and carrots. Or you can just take the time to befriend it and it may be more amenable to being touched.
Edit: I am trying to use the photo to id the breed. Possibly a Lop of some kind based on its ears, but it could also just be nervous. Hard to tell without knowing it’s actual size
Maybe a dwarf lop? I think it’s a dwarf lop, so prolly someone’s escaped pet.
it’s actual size
puts monocle on, judging by the diameter of the bike’s rim (hazarding 24" kids bike) it’d be 1.5 cos lettuces long and 1 big carrot high.
🤔 Not bad, not bad at all! Maybe longer, depending on the size of the lettuces.
It’s ears are flop ears and the photo doesn’t show it well but it has a crinkly, wavy coat. Slightly darker grey irl than the picture shows too. It’s larger than a football but smaller than a watermelon.
Yeah probably a dwarf lop or a Lop of some sort. Defo someone’s pet. Doesn’t look too feral. Prolly has a microchip I reckon, but if no one has posted about it in your area it may be that it escaped a while back. Dunno, but a very very adorable addition to your yard!! 😍
Omg!! So precious!!
Elder gets first dibs but can we have a vote on what to name it?
I vote for Bunzorrette if a lady bunny or Bunzorr if a dude .
Mr P named it Magic yesterday because it disappears and reappears lol
So pretty! Do you maybe have any local magicians struggling with their signature trick because their ‘assistant’ has escaped?
I am more movicol than man.
I’m more movicol than man
I’m now resigned to the can

Get some pear nectar into you. Warm it if you need a fast result, cold tastes better if you just need a helping hand.
Are you getting enough fluids and fibre during the day? If it’s due to medication then you gotta up those fluids and fibres.
Yeah it’s medication that’s doing it. I eat a fair bit of fibre but probs could drink more water.
I’m hoping it settles soon because it’s a slight alteration of meds.
Get some All Bran into ya.
sudafed and hayfever tablets can also mess you up a bit
I made a choc ripple cake for my man coz he been working hard lately. I’m gonna top it with crushed Maltesers because he gave me the idea.
Oh yum. Love a choc ripple.
The best Aussie invention ever.
Hope you have the cake ready for tonight’s W T20 match.
7pm. On 7mate.
Oooo most likely 👍
I had to buy a few things from the supermarket, it’s a minefield of really really bad food/snacks. I was strong, only good food and necessities were bought. At home now having afternoon coffee, with skim milk , and some peanut butter toast.
Vintage LPs have been bought, more Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and some music. 👍
I think I’ve got a Cook/Moore comedy LP somewhere.
One of my neighbours is having a hard time.
They’re been playing ‘Nothing Compares to you’ the Sinead version, for like 40 minutes now.
Oh dear. They saaad
They’ve changed it to Meatloaf ‘I would do anything for love’ now, things must be bad.
Burger…. I have made. I have eaten with pineapple.
I am full.
Dishes are done which was really hard to do with a full belly.
also had burger, sans pineapple , with an avocado side salad. Next time I will double the amount of mixed spice in the burger mix to 2 tbsps.
Feels like over the last day or so I’ve spread the the contagious disease of cooking burgers here.
However! The more the merrier!
I hope yours was delicious. I think I’m going to add more spice to the mince next time too.
yes, it was delicious, I had mine with a fresh ciabatta bun :)
this is the spice mix, it’s very mild https://ilexonline.com.au/product/lunex-mix-7-spices-350g-haft-adviyeh-makhsos/
Welp, I couldn’t get the Kylie pre-sale tix. They seem to have sold out rather quickly. Will try again next month.
😢
I think every cop in Melton and surrounds including the serious suit wearing types are at Woodgrove shopping centre in Melton and they have a whole entrance taped off. Wouldn’t be surprised to hear something on the news if it isn’t already.
A sixteen year old has been stabbed. He is deceased. Very sad.
My daughter’s checking it out on Melton mums Facebook. I’ll update you.
So the Man and I are on the same page - if I get a week off, I’m going to Japan! Now just need a new job… interview tomorrow, please loads of positive energy!
You got it! Sending vibes across the aether.
Fingers crossed for you!
Good luck 🤞
Ok I love hearing stories about how people met their partners! So how did the partnered people among us meet their SOs? :)
I had worked at my old job for 6 years and was an operations and billing consultant; he joined as a temp in the call centre. Xmas Party was coming up and all us permanent staff petitioned to have the temps join the party too, as they were initially excluded. But my team/department wanted to show them how much we appreciated their help so we won.
Him and I had a bunch of drinks at that party, and he invited me back to his place in Rezza; as it was on my line too (Epping) I said yep… Stayed the night lol. We were FWB for a few months, but we both caught feelings and have been together since Jan 2019
He is one of my best friend’s husband’s best friends. We’ve been to dinners together and what not for 7+ years and always admired each other but it wasn’t until early last year that I was out with my friend and was all “soo… how’s xx?”, we set up a dinner for the four of us and finally swapped numbers.
My sister and his brother were living together so the first time we met was in their flat I think.
Ex fiance (lasted 6 years)
Met through a friend that I used to smoke weed with back in the early 2000 's.
She was kind of the “star” of her little hippie group. She loved talking about spirituality. All the dudes around her would just agree with everything she said presumably to try to impress her.
I didn’t. I thought her ideas were not the best and challenged her on a bunch of her woo stuff.
Apparently that caught her interest because no one else ever disagreed with her. It was cool debating stuff with her.
Kept hanging out and we hooked up one night and kept going from there.
I do regret us getting together though. It was a big mistake on my part because I was too young and naive to recognise red flags.
Ex partner (went for 12 yrs though).
Working at nandos she was FOH I was back kitchen. Fell in love flirting with each other over a grill with overcooked chicken.
Typical
lovelust at first sight. We met at the Left Bank in East Fremantle and carried on through the night dancing and drinking, we hooked up… and never looked back. Nearly 30 years ago.deleted by creator
On OKC back before it was shit. Ludicrously high match percentage, and no deal breakers. Didn’t anticipate anything serious because of his age, but that’s fine. Met for a drink where it turned out we had mutual friends, had been at many of the same events and just not crossed paths somehow. I informed him he was an imp who would probably flirt with a telegraph pole. Couple of days later he came over to watch my Making of the Dark Crystal doco. We didn’t. Oops, it turned serious after all 😺
Okay, like plus 100 for the doco!
(Love me Aughra. Lost count of how many times I’ve seen TDC, but haven’t watched it for years. Hmm, got me some nostalgic runs for the near future, I see.)
I could probably have recited the whole thing without prompts as a kid. Haven’t dared watch the new series in case it’s awful.
