I got the call centre job lol! Starting mid January.
Gonna be so flush with my a-bit-higher-than-minimum-wage wage, way more than Centrelink lol. I’ll actually be able to pay rent without going broke for half a month every month
Congratulations and merry Christmas! I’ve been busy, and not keeping up with the group.
Thank you! I totally understand! I hope you’re having a lovely Christmas!! 💜💜
Amazing! Congrats, what a good xmas present.
I know right! Couldn’t be happier to be thrown off the unemployed wagon lol!

So happy for you. 🥹
Fantastic news! Congrats 🥂
Gratz!

Fucking WOOO go Spud
That’s excellent news just before Christmas
It’s such a relief! I joked with the recruiter about this being a lovely Christmas gift 😂
I’m so pleased for you!
Sneak attacks have been on the menu all night. Keeps me on my toes lol
Has she leapt out and bitten your ankles yet? Ours used to hide under clothes racks and do that
All night lol
all presents bar one have been obtained, I can get that on friday
wrapping commences , I got these awesome xmas dinosaur and mercat and cat stickers for on the kid’s pressies 😃
Damn, it’s time to get ready for work already. Hopefully it will be a cruisy shift and I don’t have to work too hard. So if you guys could do your best not to set things on fire, crash your cars or get your cat stuck up a tree that would be great.
I’ve been gardening all day and now cannot move from couch, so there’ll be no risk of any of that over here
so jelly, I love gardening
That sounds good, stuck on couch is usually an ambulance job. Unless you are really heavy and need some burly firefighters to hoist you up I won’t need to do anything.
Can’t promise nuffin.
Just do your best, that’s all we can ask for. But if you do decide to do something try to at least make it interesting. Get stuck it the chimney pretending to be Santa or something.
Chimneys are for rich people.
So the Santa story is just your cover for trying to rob the place and steal all the expensive Christmas presents? Clever.
Rumour has it the big man never went down chimneys because he was taught lock picking while doing a stint in juvie when he was a young lad.
Will try my hardest. Hopefully the rest of society does too!
Everything is cleaned and organised. Dropped presents off to some family kiddos. Ham glaze made. Kitchen ready. Tomorrow I can just chill and cook for a couple of people.
Hope you all have great days whether social or quiet or just another day. Cheers
So nice to have everything sorted. Hope you have a lovely day, too
Helping MrsGod make Brandy Alexander pie. 😋
Nice
I had emergency surgery a couple of days ago, and I’ve been home trying my best to recover but this is a new level of body horror I was not prepared for. I’m so glad the whole thing was free though, and the hospital stay was genuinely quite pleasant (I got lucky and ended up with a private room).
Here’s hoping I get through the next couple of weeks without any complications, I just want this thing to be over and done with.
That’s rough. Hope everything goes well and you can recover without drama.
If anything does go wrong there’s always your local Urgent Care but I’m sure you won’t need it. You can just walk in. No need for an appointment.
Merry Christmas to you Sasha ❤️
I actually started the whole thing at urgent care, who took one look at me and immediately sent me to the ER haha. I don’t expect to be back anytime soon, things are going well healing wise, it’s just freaky as hell that the standard is to not stitch up the big hole in me.
Merry Christmas to you too 😊
I’m glad it went well and you’re resting now! That sounds terrifying!
Time is the best healer. Hoping you have help, if not anything not essential to daily life can wait. Rest is important, and you can’t rush it.
Oh jeez. Hoping for a swift recovery for you.
I hope you have people to help.
Sure do, it’s a bit of a full house right now
oh no, so many gentle hugs I hope you have a speedy recovery
I hope you’re doing ok and recovering fast.
If you get stuck and need help I know there’s a nursing service called Call On Clare? Not sure if they specifically handle surgical aftercare at home (you’d have to check) but they do home visits and could help you with appointments and transport if you need follow-up.
Some hospitals do send someone to check in on you and help you post admission but to be honest the service isn’t always great… there’s also nurse on call and the virtual ED if that puts your mind at ease.
Fingers crossed you manage ok though.
I cannot stop sleeping. Guess my body needs it, but it would be nice to sleep at the right time. And not fall asleep before I can drink some fluids 🐪🌵
At my folks’ place. Next door’s teenage daughter just dropped off a plate of gingerbread men.
She’s a lovely kid, that one
One of the best part about this time of year is looking forward to watching Dinner for One on NYE. It makes me cry laugh everytime.
Hell’s yeah. Classic
I’ve gotten a handle on doing all the Christmas stuff.
I think all the presents have been bought, just have to organise and wrap
all the food is ready to be prepped, Turkey and chicken pieces are in the freezer ready for Saturday
tomorrow’s food is easy, just burgers and trifle , 2 x shortbread is made, I will bring half the panettone I made , only because it’s so big I won’t be able to finish it.
house is super organised and 95% clean already 👍
Time to work! Looks like everyone’s out doing their food shop today. Also the husbands who don’t know what to get their wives.
Watching the market melt down this morning was glorious. My viewpoint from my apartment overlooks the fish market…it was like someone had kicked an ant’s nest
Shopping is done
2 x naps had
Games downloaded
Waiting for cheesecake shop to open and pizza place to start delivery.
Yeeha!

Its time to check out Culinary class wars on netflix if you haven’t already. Season 2 is halfway through. Very good cooking competition 👍
The wine has been poured. The eyelids are already heavy. Christmas tradition has been chosen to be put off.
