No…that will NOT be a sore throat starting… noooo
I was wrong. I’ve just tried the Aldi Madagascan vanilla white chocolate. It’s legit good to eat. Far superior to anything Cadbury can come up with. Recommend (grrrrrrr).
I’m so mad all of them have milk. I still remember how good that chocolate is
There’s a brand called Sweet William that has vegan white choc. I’ve tried their other choc types and it’s not too bad
Unfortunately it contains inulin
I was keen on a Marketplace item. It wasn’t much, $20, despite its value being far more than that. Was scheduled to meet up to collect, but as it got closer to time, the seller took an hour to confirm their address (they kept saying they had bad phone signal…but I’m not sure what that has to do with en able to confirm your own address), and then switched it up from them being there, to needing to collect from someone else, who’s number I was given to call when I arrived.
As soon as I expressed concern, they got very defensive and angry. For me, that’s red flags all over so I noped out and blocked em.
Did I overreact? What would you folks do?
Marketplace is sketchy, trust your gut.
🖤
Red Flags. Did not over react. If I had already paid I would be trying to get money back.
regarding the shady behaviour, $20 is not much money . 🤔
Yeah nah, I never pay up front. Only cash in person.
I’m out at the slightest hint of dodgy. I’d rather over react and miss out on a few items that might have been legit than walk into a bad situation.
Sellers being reluctant to hand over an address in advance is one of my major red flags - I want to be able to check where I am going and let someone else know too. I’ve had sellers do this whole run around where they won’t give you the street number until you say you are in the street. I’ve no idea how they think that’s going to protect them from dodgy buyers, but I’m not following breadcrumbs to walk into a stranger’s house. If people are not upfront I just don’t deal with them.
People who are very pushy about wanting you to move off the sales platform and phone/text are also a red flag for me. Your phone number is important personal data that it’s better to avoid giving out unnecesarily. Especially if you have Pay id linked to it, because then you are also giving out your real name.
Thank you. Yeah, I agree and this is really reassuring.
You did the right thing. The MIL was trying to sell something once and someone tried to pull the classic PayID scam saying their husband worked in the area and would be the one to come pick it up, this was on a Sunday in a suburb with nothing nearby.
Then they said they had trouble transferring money online and if the MIL PayID’d them $1000 this person would send back the money plus the difference.
Yeah, as soon as they introduce a third party, I get the wiggins.
Finally got Davinci Resolve, my beloved, working on the big Bazzite PC. It’s workflow time
Cat still hasn’t come around for his food and medicine. Not good, he needs to be getting a good amount of quality food in and has already missed one dose. Just did a blockie looking for the little poo
Throwback to 5 years ago today
Phone plan recs requested. I decline to accept an extra 15/month for nothing from Craptus. Need near zero calls and Pokemon data…
I’ve found ozbargain a great source for plans. I’m now on a 365 day 300 GB Optus plan for what will effectively be $70 ($220 + $150 gift card). Looks like there are a few good options at the moment with Boost, Optus and Vodafone or if you’re not in a rush you can keep an eye out.
I’m with Amaysim on a good deal that got grandfathered in from when I was with Jeenee who got acquired by Vaya who then got acquired by Amaysim
Petrol around here is still about $2.20 a litre, which it has been out this way for the past couple of years. Is the ‘price shock’ at the moment that people in the SE suburbs have to pay the same as what they’ve been charging us?
that’s about $2.20 a litre with the excise cut.
So there has been a slight improvement. I noticed prices were down a few days ago and are back to what they were stinging is before again
diesel has more than doubled at the Brooklyn station we go to, cost 209 to fill up last week
Went to Book of Mormon over the weekend. It’s a great show, so many laughs. The actor that played the sidekick (forgot the character name already) was absolutely brilliant.
Dinner worked well tonight.
Pork casserole with apple and sage. The flavours all melded in together very nicely, and I have lots in the freezer for later too.
yum, lots of gravy 😊
“We don’t deliver to parcel lockers”
Oh yeah? AusPost’s in-transit redirection says otherwise.
Making chilli powder time.
Just need to remember to not touch eyeballs or no no bits for a few days (which invariably will happen).
I’ve done that before when working in hospo. Do not recommend lol
Hands are on fire atm lol. wore gloves but that went straight through.

There’s a guy I see here and there at the gym, he has an intellectual disability and a support worker who helps him load machines etc. He’s spoken to me a few times.
This group of teenage boys were staring at him working out on a machine (the form isn’t great but at least he’s doing something while they just laugh at him and sit around on their phones barely doing any working out). And then they mocked the way he walked and all laughing at that. Disgusting behaviour to witness.
I have a soft spot for people who are doing their best despite their circumstances.
You’re a better than me, because I would have lost my cool.
I’m with melba about reporting that stuff to the staff.
Can you complain to the staff? That kind of thing can border on harassment and put someone off coming to the gym (as well as being disgusting bully behaviour).
the sun was warm and I walked all the way into the next suburb
