    part 2 to this

    I’ve spent 2 nights here so far and I really like it. The first night was naturally a bit hard, but it already feels like a home. Yesterday I unpacked my computer and got it all setup, so that helps a lot too. Room is freezing, so yesterday I ventured out to buy a heater. Kmart is apparently all out of stock of every single heater in the entire state, and Kmart man said he hadn’t seen any come in in about a month. What kind of shop doesn’t sell heaters past the first month of winter?! We ended up going to Big W and they had a very similar heater, with the buttons in a slightly different place of course, which naturally they were selling for 5x the price as Kmart… Because of course they were, but it works fine so I guess it’s still a win

        Yes! Well, I didn’t actually find it, I sent a message in a group chat we have saying I couldn’t find it and then one of the mentors appeared out of nowhere (I didn’t even think anyone else was home), found it in seconds and left it on the bench for me

      My local mini Coles had heaters for reasonable prices.

      Glad you found a heater. I noticed Bunning had a pretty huge range when I was there recently, if it doesn’t work out.
