SETTLEMENT COMPLETED
I fucking now own a house
kermit arms
Welcome to the club. Get reading to spend whatever is left of your savings at bunnings Edit: OH! And sorry, just a heads up. At least 2 of the following will fail in the next 12 months. No your house is not cursed. No one can explain WHY it happens: Hotplates, Hot water unit, Oven, Dishwasher, or a shower leak.
Bunnings is a danger, but I’ll be walking distance to Poynton’s which could be worse 😝
in our case it was the goddamn extractor fan for the kitchen and the ducted heating flame sensor.
Ha! Dishwasher (leaked and went kaput) and shower leaks here
Congrats 🎉🥂🍾
Congrats! All that stress and anxiety over the process has paid off.
HUZZAHHHHHH!!! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!!
Congrats! When do you move in?
Next Thurs for the truck
We’ll have to have a special Catfish moving day party I reckon.
Goodness knows what that might look like ?!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Buy a plunger (if you don’t have one).
We do, but there are better ones
Congratz!

Hi everyone, long time no see :-)
I’ve been absent for a bit - I think I crashed a bit after Covid, but I am alive and well and getting back on track.
It’s good to hear from you! I was worried you’d joined the many who have departed for one reason or another. I hope you’re able to take things easy for a while.
It was a bit weird - I thought I was better, but I just couldn’t be bothered doing anything. Then I actually got better and realised I hadn’t actually been completely well after all! A bit like having a dream that you woke up, and then actually waking up.
fuck covid, I swear the covid fog made me paranoid and feeling like I had dementia when I wasn’t freaking out
I did get one good symptom - it killed my appetite for a while, and whilst it has come back it is currently still just at a fairly normal level instead of the weird constant peri-menopausal super hunger I’ve had for ages. I’m hoping it lasts as long as possible, it might actually be possible for me to lose some of my excessive weight - I’ve already lost enough that my clothes are fitting properly again.
Welcome back!
🥰💋
Good to see you back again!

Yaaaay! ✋🏼
Got some crap news last night.
Very Sad don't read if your not up to it
The animal rescue reached out to us the other week to ask if we’d noticed anything wrong with Jill (the rescue kitten). Apparently she had some balance issues or trouble using a back leg. We were sort of steeling ourselves that she might come back to us (we told them if she had any trouble finding a home she was always welcome with us.) They were talking her to the vet to get checked over.
We hadn’t heard anything so followed up yesterday only to find she didnt make it. She passed shortly after we spoke to them the other week. They dont know exactly what was wrong, but she apparently had some issues. We are shattered. She wasnt even our cat but… fuck man. just… fuck.
Oh that is so sad. Many many hugs. I’ve been watching their lists waiting for her to pop up! But she had warmth, comfort, food and peace which she would not have had without you.
same! I even set up a damn facebook again. I was so excited seeing those guys adopted last week but was starting to get a bit worried. I thought maybe they’d renamed her or something. but yeah. Guess we were her last home.
You gave her the best you could mate. I’m sorry to hear what’s happened ❤️
Sorry to hear that 🫂
Oh man. Should not have read. Much sympathy 🖤
So sorry. Such a massive hurt when you try to do the right thing and it still goes pear-shaped. Hugs for all concerned.
That’s so sad. I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry. You did the best you could. You took her in and kept her safe, gave her a chance she wouldn’t have otherwise had. She passed warm and safe while being cared for.

Alright references are about to be completed.
🎶Re-sig-nation time, COME ON!
🎵do do do-do-do
🎶It’s time for a resignation!
Are you resigned to your fate?
🎶 so shove your bad times and your workload too🖕🎶
Come onnnnnnnnnn!!! My fingers, toes and eyes are crossed here!!!
Yay, you’re nearly there!
Congratulations!! I’m waiting for my offer shortly as well. Referees did their bit yesterday.
Woop woop!!
Good luck. 🤞
gonna do it to their face? Or send an email and wait for them to come over?
To their face. My old manager is still here and I would prefer to speak to her in person.
any chance of retribution/revenge by them?
They have no one to replace me. So they did it to themselves.
I have a few weeks to “hand off” to someone. Not sure who that is though.
I feel bad for a couple of clients and my work mates because this fucks them. But I tried my best.
That’s awesome. It’s going to feel so satisfying
I love when the government calls on a private number and asks me to confirm my name, DOB, address, etc. “Absolutely not, I have no way of confirming who you are”. They seem shaken by the response. Given their atrocious security protocol there’s no way I’m giving a private number any of that info.
We recently had to do this as part of a campaign. First thing I would say to the person on the other side ‘If you’re not comfortable confirming this, please email the address provided with the correspondence’.
I completed all my calls in about 15 minutes and fobbed the work onto the team that was monitoring the inbox.
Such a stupid way of doing things

kinda sad Geoffrey the dog update but cute pic of dogs enclosed
He has more purple lumps. He has also lost quite a bit of weight and isn’t eating much. Also also vomiting bile. Lacks energy. His liver function wasn’t too good a couple of weeks ago.
The vet were going to do surgery today to remove the lumps, but the last lump was quite expensive to remove. Multiply that amount by eight lumps and my aunt could not afford it.
So they called my aunt and they didn’t do the surgery because they think something underlying is going on. He will be getting a blood test today and then an ultrasound when the consultant can come come in.
That’s him on the right with my aunt’s other dog
He looks like a right sweetheart, hopefully the tests give some answers!
Oh Geoffrey ❤️
I got a bit more news. For the morbidly curious I guess.
More Sad Stuff
turns out she had too many genetic faults, Nothing anyone could have done. She wasnt in pain. Thank Christ. I was terrified her previous owner had abused her or we’d failed her in some way. The rescue wont tell us what the vet bill costs so they are just getting a donation in her memory.
Sounds like you gave a kitty with a pre-set bad life a few moments of kindness.
Mmmm. Wish we coulda done more. Guess it just proves how short life can be.
I’m glad you know the cause and know that you did your best for the little soul.
yeah I makes it a lot more tolerable that she always had a finite amount of time and all that could be done was done. makes the time we spent all the more precious.
That’s rough. Poor little girl. At least she was receiving care and indoors. For the short time she had she was fed and loved
Oh yeah in her final days she was surrounded by love and fellow kittens. Lets be real we’d all be so lucky to leave this earth in the same fashion
<3
You absolutely did the best you could for that poor soul. Bless you and MrsBreak and the rescue place for giving these suffering little beings some joy and love in their short lives. It’s a true mark of human decency
Sitting in a new area at work and people are super friendly.
My usual grumpy self is suffering silently but somehow enjoying this.
“Have a nice day”
“Don’t tell me what to do!”
Hahaha.
Trying very hard to keep my inner Larry David in check
Haha it can be so jarring sitting among friendly happy people when internally i’m all ‘old man yells at cloud’ :D
Seriously.
Not everything is ‘amazing’, ‘wonderful’ or ‘fantastic’.
For sure! Some of it is just ‘really great!’
cheers
Had a long day so broke my 2025 rule of no grog on a weeknight and shouted myself a little wine and hour looking at the waves. Such a beautiful evening

I like the heat but this summer’s been a bit much. It’s been nice to have a short reprieve.
