Tomorrow's thread posted! I think I got the date right this time :)
Goodnight all.
Edit: realised Seagoon made one 8 minutes after me with pizza emojis. I like the pizza emojis better :P
Appreciated. I love people who step up.
I came at 12.01 and saw there was already a thread
Been a day. Deep breath.
You got this! You are capable, kind, and it'll be okay. Because you are amazing 💜
thank you studspud :)
Just saw an insta story of a group of friends together that I’ve hung out with a few times during this year (not super close with them but neither are they with each other). We have a group chat used in the past to plan catch ups… not this time though. Maybe it’s just a coincidence they’re all together but can’t help but feel purposely excluded.
Wasn’t going to drink tonight but now I want one.
I'm sorry to hear that. You sound like fun to hang out with. ♥
Pretty sure this is cheating
certainly has the cheat code for looking cute
Pizza for cat?
I recognise the ref, I’ve never watched it
Is that a purrito?
I have watched Gladiator in preparation for the sequel tomorrow.
Are you not entertained?
It's one movie I actually wanna go see at the cinema, haven't been in ages
I was serving a customer before and the customer behind them started complimenting their tattoos. The customer gave us a tattoo tour, and then I left them to chat whilst I found the product they wanted. I like seeing wholesome exchanges :)
I’ve just seen something about everyone getting age verified for social media, not just kids. Not sure if it’s a reliable source but it’s got me a bit worried. I really don’t want to link my government id to social media.
I might have to download all my pics just in case I don’t get let back in. Overwhelming prospect.
will never happen
I really hope not
I thought it was burrito night
I'm hungry 😔
Bit late to the pizza party and forgot to take a ‘before’ pic, oops
Everyone is on the pizza train!
That looks beautiful!
there is nothing more delicious than someone else organising and cooking dinner and that pizza looks especially delicious
I just had a shake for dinner and a bit of fruit and that's ok , took 5 minutes
the amount of time I normally spend cooking is too much
I love this song
Wow it's like I'm seeing double 😂
Finally I've made it home 🍻🍻🍺 cheers!
Who's watching: Tyson vs Paul boxing tomorrow? Who's watching Jon Jones return to vs Stipe Miocic on Sunday?
What time is the Tyson fight on tomorrow?
Well crap. My internet is still down at the moment.
Thanks for that.
No worries. If it's still down I'll keep you updated 👍
The Minipeelers and I will be watching Paul v Tyson. Snacks will be consumed.
I didn't know I needed to know about these, but I do. stab proof jackets
Friday night in Thornbury just got a lot more interesting.
Entered the new place today.
sad realisations
Oh man it is somehow a lot smaller and sadder than I remember. And the road noise is so much more noticeable than at my place. I'm not even sure my fridge will fit. E: I have gone back and measured and it will JUST barely fit. Thank fuck. ~~Like an idiot I didn't measure anything while I was inspecting (because it was tenanted).~~ I am really, really cracking the sads right now back at my current place knowing how much I have to give up. It just doesn't feel like what I've worked for at all... Fucking rental market...
Feels like I really am saying goodbye to a whole life in stages. Will any of it be worth it? I'm going to have to fast forward the chat with work about whether I'll be able to work primarily remotely after I finish uni. The only way I see out of any of this long-term is to move in with family to hyper save up a deposit. But the only family I can move in with is interstate.
I definitely need something to look forward to because after slogging it out for years to get residency and building a life for myself I'm really sad at having to shrink it so much. I'm ready to live more expansively. I've really sacrificed a lot to try and finish this degree and it's going so much worse than I expected...
And on top of that, couch guy has turned up only to find that it's too small for his car despite my telling him the dimensions ahead of time. So that's fallen through as well, arrrgh... what do I do now??? Pay someone on airtasker to take it?
Hugs. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect as long as it's clean and safe and you have access to all the things you need and can do what you want.
I do feel like I've got to shrink my idea of "doing what I want" down to fit the space, especially considering how much I have to pay to still live there. Never mind the plants, I realise I will be doing a lot less cooking here as well. Need to remember the big benefit of this place is I can leave once uni is done. I'm going to make the most of that choice, not going to let this bastard rental market crush me
so many hugs
sometimes I feel like we are living in Victorian times again , our choices have shrunk so much
I think you get two free hard rubbish collections a year? Or am I making that up… maybe check with your council and use it as a backup option
My current council doesn't do on-demand hard rubbish :/ The next booking available is well after I've moved out. I've got a friend with a station wagon, we might be able to take it to the tip. A shame as it's a perfectly functional couch but I can't seem to move it online
