Got a whole lot of household stuff I've been thinking about selling because I'm moving away. Better give them to you. IKEA drill set, hammer and screwdriver set, space heater, baskets and tubs and stools, drawer set on wheels, microwave and pizza oven, etc etc. All those bottles of this and that for cleaning, bleach tablets, sponges, hand soap. The list goes on. Let us know what you don't already have!

Firstly, once again, congrats!!!! Aaaaa! So exciting!! 🤩 I am super stoked for the freedoms and safety that are coming your way.

Secondly, echoing Duenan, if you're comfortable sharing which general area you'll be in I'm sure there's several of us who'd be more than happy to chip in. Shit, I'd have kept aside a bunch more stuff for you when I was moving out. But completely understand if you'd rather keep it quiet

Thirdly - great time to be hitting the op shops, heaps of shit from people moving out at end of semester/landlords selling/etc. There will be mugs galore.

Fourthly... hadn't realised how tricky it would be to set up utilities as an under-18! Not long until that all goes away though? and then you can sign up with whoever you want...

I'm down for helping South East Melbourne area if you want it. Got a van.

If in the north, I have some extra bed linen in good/near new condition. You might as well have it if you want it. Also some extra cooking pots and utensils. Vinnies and similar is good for crockery and eating cutlery. Won't 'match' but who gives a shit when cooking/eating for one only.
Also, if you need a cooking knife etc. I can let you have the picnic knife to tide you over until you can legally buy one to suit you. Or if you wish, I can buy one for you. Let me know by dm.

EDIT: I also have a spare electric kettle in working order.

Do you happen to know what area of Melbourne you’ll be moving to, like north or south?

Maybe some of us can help you with a few things.

Quite a few hoops you have to jump through there but you’ll get it done as you always do.

I’m happy to chip in on some art or nice sheets or something to make it feel homely, if you like - they’ve said they’ll pay for the essentials, but I reckon your first place that’s your own should be somewhere you enjoy being.

You’ve done well, Baku. From here, you’ll only get better.

This is awesome!

Vinnies is a great call. Just grab the bare minimum for now like a mug, a set of cutlery, a plate and a bowl.

I haven’t seen tea towels or a can opener mentioned yet but they’re very handy to have

Edit: also a plunger

Suddenly question #3 on today's quiz makes sense.

Lots of helpful suggestions below, and I might also be able to help you out with some household items if you need.

Also, op shops have loads of cheap stuff for when you’re setting up a house, and you can always upgrade it later on.

And portable 👍

4 the 20th day of Xmas my true love gave to me

20 bongs a rippin'
19 joints a smokin'
18 blunts a tokin'...

😆

My goodness the beans!

Ok that is adorable 😍

oh gees, that's just awful

hope gf is doting on you, getting you ice packs and anything else you need

The beer somehow disappeared. I’m on the wine now🍷cheers

Here’s to 6 AM starts💃🪩🕺

🍻

WINNING!!! I ordered sinful greasy pizza for dinner as it was on special this weekend. Have some in spirit 🍕

Yaaaas 🍻 go spud! That is such a great feeling. Enjoy.

Woohoo! Yay you! 🍻

Ah that's a tough talk mate. Hugs.

ha ha, was thinking the same thing about my mil#1, she's 87 and convinced she can and should drive

i don't really care if she bingles, etc, but i do worry she might hurt someone else

i might dob her in to the cops

false hope? I live on that shit. makes me able to get through each day

now i'm just waiting for fam to die so i can at least be left in peace and not worry about money

It’s such a difficult situation to be in, and I really sympathise. It must be so hard for your mum dealing with these changes, and for you trying to help her.

Can you subtly suggest the how good Uber (or whatever car system that might work) is? No parking issues, cheaper overall costs, etc.

I remember how hard it was to get my mum to stop driving, and she wasn’t great at it even before age-related decline.

That looks decadent. I bet they loved it

I think you’ve got the cat of approval

Lol! I have the same bird toy for Mickey!

It wouldn't last long up there in my house! Tweet tweet and smack it across the loungeroom!

This place is for supporting each and loving each other

Just know that you are amazing, you are good enough, more than you think! 💜💜💜💜

We are here and we are listening 💜

It’s all good, just do the best you can in life

You are and were always good enough, even if sometimes you struggle to see it

I've never had one before. Fuck it. I'll put one up this year. You've inspired me.

It's missing the goon bag.

I love it

Nice

Love it!

I spent many of my younger years as a dishwasher in kitchens.

I feel your pain.

Dishes are my least fav chore. Rather scrub the loo.

buy disposable cutlery and dishes

if you are concerned for waste and the environment buy paper

and then remember you will be saving water by not washing , which is a good thing

ooh we need pics of that!

Is the microfreak worth it? Been looking at it as my first hardware synth.

Awesome 😎 I have hit a wall and still have chores. Bad sleep catching up .... Must ... Focus...

Aw man, I hate that feeling. And then when you find the thing later you're like, that's money and time I could've saved. Hopefully it's one of those things where having two of the item is not a waste. There's some random shit I found while packing that I never used and that is coming on handy at my current place...

Elegant. Needs some tomatoes though.

Good night Fluffybutts , good night everyone. 😘

Lovely ❤️

So talented! That looks amazing Rusty!!

Adorable 😍

Also if anyone is westside and wants Christmas decorations I realised I have a giant (like one of those big plastic tubs full) box of purple/gold ornaments in the storage box. My ex must have randomly given them back and they somehow have missed the multiple declutters. I am never gonna have a tree that big again. Will take them to salvos on there weekend but thought I would check here first. DM me if you want them and can pick them up

Sure. 🙂 And thanks for pinning the threads. 😘

Never seen From Dusk to Dawn then I guess?

We've been binge watching 8 out of 10 cats. Which is a most welcome change from Spectacular Spectacular Spiderman.

omg, what a co-inkydink, i'm just writing a note about pulp fiction, not the movie but the magazine stories and art

The best part about places like this, is if someone gives ya the ick you can just block them and never see anything they post.

Kinda hard to do irl lol

We're more than happy to be your refuge! This is what this place is for! Sharing and caring, support and love!

Teehee she called us 'decent'!

🤷‍♀️

i suppose i should tidy and clean a bit for when the young seagoons come to stay

(at the same time , now, cats are fighting hard, they do not like being on a diet and are fighting to steal each others food )

Best reaction. Neutral or customer service smile, and ‘can I help you?’

Nothing to discuss, no gossip to report

Fridges were very bare at my local Woolies. Flashbacks to 2020.

I've become a coles shopper this past week.

Dispute at the warehouse down in Dandenong. Better now than the week before Xmas. Try Aldi which I believe is not affected but I could be wrong.

three species of animals

hehe when I was doing ag. sci. we had something similar for a presentation but chose only one animal. I chose the polar bear.

Pretty much a one worder.. Lipids. they should't have offered that animal I won that one easily.

☕️

He look so chill! ❤️

I want to pat Mickey's gut... at great risk to the veins in my hands

Is this a good thing? 🙂

Hmm reminds me of Christmas.

Need to rsvp actually.

Squad 🤘

Present

Aye aye 🤚🏼

Warm weeks like this, I make giant bowls of potato salad or pasta salad if I can be stuffed. Sometimes it's just boiled eggs and a variety of fruits, vegetables and cold meats.

Is weird that I also want someone to bite my knees while I poop?

Those eyes.. Mickey has seen things.

10 and one was a guess. I'll go sit in the corner for abit

15/50. Not a high score, but enough to keep me out of the corner. Which is a pity, I heard they have snacks there.

25/50. What the fuck was #3? I wish to have unseen that question...

20

Ooooo 40/50

Maybe I am knowledgeable lol

LOL. 15

20 and a head shake from Tom

25/50

25 this morning

I'll have 3 thin crust bbq meat lovers please

Some Bánh hoa hồng trắng pls. You'll have to travel to Hoi An to get them but I'll wait.

Anything except oats pls

A variety of rice paper rolls please

Oh it's an actual link to a Bible reading lol 😂

?

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Best short description of psychotherapy I've ever seen.

a man with discerning taste 👍

I didn't put my one small reindeer ornament away last year so this year's decorating's already done.

There are two types of people

Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data...

indeed, I wait until 12 days before xmas to put up the tree

because ... Tradition!! 🎵🎶 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDtabTufxao
