    I’ve been calling him ‘old man’ because it makes me laugh. He is displeased and reminded me he is only 3, going on 4.

    He’s still my grumbly, chatty old man though.

    Apparently, I don’t have enough money in my credit card to pay $0.00 for my kid to go on an excursion:

      Feel for you. Dentists are not fun. Not even close to fun. I have an appointment at the dentist on my birthday next week. The only day available. Poo.

        Birthday dentist is mega poo! I’m not scared of them as such, but have a seriously messed up gag reflex which makes it very un fun indeed.

          Ditto. Also a needle phobia that just won’t quit. I have to take muscle relaxants before getting vaxed for anything too, or my muscles go into hard spasm and the vaccine oozes right back out. Which is embarrassing and stains one’s t shirts.

    I’ve been walking past the dog’s bed all morning giving him a little pat and talking to him (he likes to bury himself under his doona). I thought “oh you haven’t popped your head up for awhile” so I have a proper look and he’s not even in there. He’s in the kid’s room because they have a time share thing going on.

    For anyone needing petrol, this is the time to fill up, a good number of petrol stations have jacked up their price for the long weekend already.

      That dude was a dick.

      I am very middle aged and I still remember my first “fancy” dinner… I kept.forgetting how to hold my knife and fork and my mate’s mum leant over and helped. I still feel a bit out of place at fancy dinners. It’s fun to play and try new things though.

          I went through a similar thing. I’ve had to teach myself how to do pretty much everything. Like how to shower properly, use cutlery etc. You get the idea.

          If it makes you feel better, you’re not the only one having to deal with this crap 🙂

      Ignore the guy, he had very bad manners. The best good manners are a smile, please and thank you and a kind heart like greeeg’s friend’s mum.

      And that train trip looks really awesome, so jelly. 🥰🚂🦘

    Sometimes I read back on a professional email I’ve sent and think - wow I actually sound like I know what I’m talking about. Get me on the phone though and I become a mumbling mess sometimes.

              My late partner came from there - well, a farm outside of town. Until about a decade ago his parents still lived there, they’ve now passed on. When my partner and I took up with each other, I spent a bit of time going up there.

    My workplace has recently banned access to the Seek website. There have been quite a lot of departures recently lol. They also banned the website of a competitors company when said competitor took off with a few of our staff, and we were too stingy to match their pay offer
