My hayfever is still raging. 😠
I must now acknowledge I have reached levels of revenge procrastination…
🤔 Wait… Maybe it’s just that I have a word for it now…
I got so many things on my to do list done today 🙂 , just niggling things
I have every cupboard sorted now and unwanted stuff put aside, most has already been taken to op shop or distributed to neighbours
As a list queen I can relate. It’s so nice getting things crossed off and some decluttering done
talking about YT I’ve been watching this
just a calendar about lotr, it’s short and nice, no drama 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEJ33hPu2cY
Well fuck, there goes any plans getting anymore food. I fucking hate my life.
What’s wrong dude? Do you at least have some basic food to last you a few days or can get some?
I can find some resources
Edit: Food organisations
(If you have or can get basics) Boris’s budget cooking
Ps. I hope this isn’t as serious as it sounds and that I’m only jumping to conclusions. But this isn’t a sneak diss or anything, the economy being what it is I instantly worry when someone says they can’t get food
I got enough food in the freezer, tons of pasta and noodles to get me by.
I was hoping to be able to treat myself to some extra food like homemade burgers and stuff but something unexpected happened and drained my reserves to be able to do that.
Also can’t afford to fill up on petrol so I’m basically going to save as much travelling as I can for the moment.
Oh good. Well not good, but not dire.
Sorry. I just saw ‘can’t get more food’ and panicked.
spoiler
I wish I had more bread however.
i’m hoping for a few things to fall into place either tomorrow or next week that might enable me to pick up some stuff.
Fingers crossed, unexpected financial hits are terrifying
Maybe we should become like Russians. Accept that life is mostly awful with a few moments of happiness.
It’s an underrated philosophy 😂
I’m trying to keep a hold of my stress and anxiety but I think it’s blowing out.
I won’t feel better about it till tomorrow or the day after to see if I can get some extra payments come in hopefully.
Totally ruined my plans for for the next few days.
I am patient when it comes to technology, I am well trained, I read instructions very carefully
pisses me off no end when i am gaslighted telling me I don’t know what I am doing , godamm fucking air cleaner has the wrong filters and I can’t fix it without the right parts, just like I said 2 years ago
thank you for listening to my rant
Is this a cannot operate a screwdriver with genitals situation?
more a fragile ego
Does anyone here have any knowledge on share dividends and what it means to have it fully franked?
Fully franked you get a credit for entire dividend amount and can offset your tax with that credit.
Let’s say I have a dividend payout of 20cent and it’s 100% franked.
If it’s fully franked do I only get 20cents? or more than 20c?
You get (20c / (1-0.3)) -20c = A franking credit of about 8.5c
so you’re ending up getting 20c + 8.5c or 28.5c. It’s to avoid double taxation.
oh ok, I didn’t realise you get the franking credit as well.
It’s a bit like when your employer pays part of your pay to the ATO in anticipation of future tax. If the company distributes money they have already paid tax on you will have a dividend that is paid directly to you, plus an amount that has been paid in tax. Fully franked means the company has paid tax on the whole lot, partially franked means they only paid tax on a part of it. When you come to do your tax return the ATO will work out how much you actually owe (based on the tax rate for your income) and either ask for a bit more tax or refund the extra.
no
prolly one of those things where wiki would be useful
here you go, easy as abc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_dividend_imputation_system
I still sort of don’t understand it.
Does the franking amount get added to a dividend payout?
Can’t believe the bear on a bike at Barkly Square was stolen?
The thieves used a crane!!! Seems very organised. You don’t just steal a very heavy very famous sculpture to put in your own front yard.
Professional scrap metal thieves, like the ones that steal the copper cables from railway crossings to sell.
who has a big enough pot to melt it down?
and who would buy it?
There has to be somewhere they take it to cut it into smaller anonymous pieces.
Some crooked metalworking place
Lots of these - with big machines to chop metal things up into smaller bits. Until recently there was one in Weston St in Brunswick - just near Barkly Square and next door to the Comanchero Bikie Gang headquarters. Not a coincidence I think.
Aww man I love that sculpture ☹️
wtf this weather, just keep getting random rain , I have painting to do 🫥
have zero motivation anyway 😔
ok, i’ll just do easy stuff like putting everything away in it’s right place, at least that’s something
Good night everyone.
Nice emoji choice 😺
🙂
some chocolate bikkies would be nice
🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Thank you. nom nom 🙂
Yipes - got a phone call on my break between clients - major shit has gone down at work.
Better not say too much even semi-anonymously, but it’s time-to-join-the-union-and-get-representation shit.
I see many phone calls in my future…There’s some kind of onepass members deal weekend thing happening from today til sunday. Considered posting in the frugal community, but although they are deals, everything is branded so it doesn’t really compare to just buying home brand everything (I mean who the fuck is spending 30 bucks (on sale!) for “One Summer Eau De Toilette Spray”??). But these are some of them that seemed okay:
Kmart
- 110 pack Finish Classic dishwashing tabs - $15 [13.6c per tab]
- 1.25L Morning Fresh original dishwashing liquid - $7 [55.9c/100ml (I think)]
- Handheld physio massage gun set - $49
- 10 piece Sistema Storage Set - $22
- 188 Piece Mega Art Set - $29
- 4L Duo washing liquid [$3/L]
- 5kg clean and soften washing powder - $12 [$2.40/kg]*
(NB on the washing powder: Coles sell a 4kg box of homebrand washing powder for $5, so that’s what I mean by homebrand still being cheaper. That’s what I usually buy)
And a couple more from Kmart that seem like more kiddy things. Idk if they’re worth it, or would even appeal to kids (they seem like stuff nobody else bought so ended up on special buy to me), but I know a lot of parents like to buy things on sale for chrissy time through the year, so maybe they appeal to someone:
- Heroes of Goo Jit Zu Jurassic World assorted dinosaur thingies - $10ea
- Disney Sorcerer’s Arena Epic Alliances Core Set - $15
- Hot Wheels City Super Loop Fire Station Playset - $19
- Crayola Multi-Colour Light Board - $10
- Monster Jam Garage Grave Digger Playset - $49
- Nickelodeon PAW Patrol All PAWS Gift Set - $15
- DreamWorks Gabby’s Dollhouse Kitty Fairy’s Garden Treehouse Playset - $29
Elsewhere
Catch, Bunnings, Target, and Priceline all have deals on, too, but I haven’t had a chance to look through them just yet. Plus I’m trying not to impulse buy all of the things.
Officeworks has 15x flybuys points on Apple products, and half price standard photo printing in store.
The cost of selling my name and details is not worth “deals”.
You have a fair point. Personally, I’ve pretty much just accepted my details probably already are up for sale somewhere. Everywhere seems to either have data breaches once a week, or basically is a data breach (selling everything they know to the highest bidder). The “deals” aren’t really anything special for the most part either. Half price/home brand pretty much makes the first list redundant anyway
That’s totally cool to go in there. I’m not a mod or anything but if people prefer brand for some reason and use deals or coupons that’s still frugal
I think I’ve overdone my stress eating.
I’ve already had about half a cup of rice but I’m about to chow down on some chips… definitely craving the carbs tonight as well.
Yummy chippies.
As ambitious as it was I wasn’t able to eat the whole lot so I have dinner for tomorrow as well.
Oooooh carbs. My old friend.
Hello carbos, my old friend,
I’ve come to gnaw on you again,
Nighttime I dream I’m consuming
Noodles, pasta, rice I’m wanting
But eventually you’ll turn to sugar from grain
And cause me pain
From diabetesand through the salted water I saw
A hundred noodles maybe more
Softly bubbling without leaking
They float around and they’re not stickingSalted strandlets coiled and headed for my maw
I do adore
The taste of pasta
😍
