i am here to sing the praises of icare toilet paper
it does not break
We’ve been using their paper towel, and I’m a fan. It has half sheet perforations and it doesn’t fall apart but it doesn’t cost a bomb either.

Got the lunch notes done early as tonight’s Harry Potter chapters are quite long.
meow
woof
weird possum noise
mysterious snuffling
jellyfish noises 🪼
I always meant to dubb that over the wakakakak in a metal track
🤣 My brain just totally heard that!
Legs are feeling it today from going up and down ladders all w/e. Ladders hit different to stairs. I thought they’d be alright but thankfully it brings us to a rave choon, silly Legs
Also just got some hail inner east which I haven’t seen in a while.
We’re doing a sleep school for a week starting tomorrow. I hope we can get something out of it as the boys do have some trouble going to sleep and a lot of regular sleep settling advice doesn’t work because you can’t let a kid cry it out whilst there’s another kid asleep in the same room.
At best it might feel a little like a working holiday as all meals are provided. It would be nice to spend a week where we don’t have to worry about as many things for once.
Well. I typed something into my search bar and an instagram link of this girl who my ex is friends with popped up, didn’t do a good job at deleting it, and before I know it, I see that my ex has launched a music duo with the girl he told me not to worry about. Are they dating? Probably. The way he looks at her. The way they look at each other.
I feel exactly how I did right after we broke up, and I thought I’d come far. I feel so fucking stupid.
I have to cook lunch and do uni shit, but I feel guttered. At least this will help me move forward.
Block both of them, this will just lead you back into the mental quagmire.
Don’t worry about it. From the sounds of things she might just be the latest girl and end up in your situation too. Even if they stay together there are no guarantees things are happy behind closed doors.
don’t type “something” into search bars
also, if you loved him be happy he is happy
now it’s your turn to be happy 😊 hugs
Yep I won’t be doing that again.
I am happy that he’s happy, even though he hurt me. But it’s just the whole why couldn’t he be happy with me thing that’s getting to me.
I want to be happy too.
If he didn’t want you, it’s his loss. And if he was lying to you, he’s not worth pining over. (Yeah, I know, easier said than done).
Letting go of him will at least leave a space in your life to be happy in and of yourself, and hopefully allow someone in who’ll bring you joy.
Now, do you have any physical mementos of the relationship? If so, is there anywhere you can burn them? Speaking from experience, that does help.I’ve dated plenty of lovely women where we weren’t right for each other and it was better that we split up. Nothing necessarily wrong, just not compatible.
Diving down into the rabbit hole won’t do you any favours.
I don’t know how you can move on from this but just that you felt a lot more strongly about him than how he felt about you.
I know you wanted to be happy but it doesn’t have to be with someone who wasn’t into you, it wouldn’t be worth it.
A photo/movie is one instant snapshot of a moment. That’s all it is and you don’t need to add more into the narrative of it to make yourself feel bad about it.
You do have to accept that he wasn’t the one but there’s plenty of others out there who would be a better match for you. It’ll take time so go slowly.
@LowExperience2368 @Seagoon_
One day, he may type something in the search bar and miss you. No guarantees, though. Solo time gives space to work out what makes you happy. 🤔 new hobby. New friends. New interest. Self care. Counselling. Metamorphosis. New butterfly 🦋 ✨️
It’s Sunday so quiz time! (did everybody else get distracted with the footlympics?)

15/50
40/50.
Probably the one and only time I’ll ever get that high in my life.
What did you get wrong?
The witch trials and the toilet question.
Ah yep. I got those 2 wrong as well (along with almost all of the others 😂). I always thought they burned witches. And I don’t keep up with the latest in public dunny news, so I was not in the loop
woo hoo, 40/50
On ya Goonsy! What’d you get wrong?
bloody prince philip, I thought he was prince and heir to the greek throne
and the panda one
40/50, some lucky guesses
On ya Ozzy. What’d you miss?
The toilet one and the one about the Mechanics’ Institute.
I got the mechanics one as a lucky guess, but I missed the toilet one too
Hi five! I missed the toilet one too!
An unprecedented 45/50. I’m ready for my gold medal presentation.
😮 what did you get wrong??
The gold mining one.
srsly?
20/50
Huzzah, I’ve found my person! What’d you get?
9 clearly struggling without their full staff haha
Good night.
Where’s the payback?
Good morning Cooku
That’s better! G’day goonsy
I bought a temperature sensor for my room because I was curious about how cold it actually gets, and how fast it loses heat, and it’s actually not as bad as I thought it was. Doesn’t seem to go below about 12 or so, although I think that’s mostly down to body heat, the electric blanket, and my computer all slightly warming the room. But then again, my bathroom remains quite stable at around 15 regardless, so maybe there is an itty bit of insulation somewhere
If anybody’s wondering why I don’t run the ducted heating constantly, it’s because of this:
The temperature sensor is in the hallway, which doesn’t have a heating vent, so once you turn it on, it will pretty much run until summer, turning my room particularly for some reason into a mini marble bar (localised entirely within my bedroom! No you may not see it.), and they absolutely refuse to install either a temperature sensor into a bedroom, or a heating vent into the hallway.
Bonus: the temperature sensor in the bathroom (no heating vent + a giant skylight):
Tonight feels really fucking nippy though, even with the heater on, the electric blanket on full boar, and a temperature reading of 20°. It feels like -1 outside, according to the BOM boys, so I guess that’s justified
While I’m waiting for the stain on the first chair to cure some more, work on the second chair has commenced. I have pulled out 40 tacks so far, another 200 to go 😵🪛
I now have 30 balls of biscuit dough chilling in the fridge. A quick bake tomorrow, then a dip in icing on Tuesday and they will be ready for work on Wednesday.
What are you making?
Pfeffernusse biscuits, a German spice biscuit.
Looks yummy. Sounds like soft gingerbread with icing on top.

KingKoenig of biscuits
Hot dipped balls by the looks of it. A bit saucy for a Wednesday

I have a new plan for my German plate - Pfeffurnusse biscuits. Looks like they have a similar flavour profile to the suggested Spekulatius, but are a bit thicker and either iced or dusted with icing sugar instead of having a fancy press/roller to make them look pretty.
I know it’s not what the name means, but I’d be so tempted to shape these as little white mice
I did a mouse-shaped-biscuit Google search and it is definitely doable - sliced almond ears seem to be the preferred option.
Pfeffernusse are yum. So are Speculaas, but pretty sure those are Dutch, so you’ve made a good call.
From what I can tell based on my superficial Google searching Speculaas are Dutch, but there are also versions made in parts of Germany under a slightly different name. Once my textured roller arrives I might try some of those for myself anyway, as I’ll be looking for all sorts of rolled biscuit recipies to justify buying it!
Sounds about right! I haven’t made biscuits for ages, maybe it’s baking weather…
