Hi,

I'm in NSW and contemplating a move to Melbourne, given the crazy prices in Sydney. Because I'm not super familiar with suburb,s I'd love input on where to focus my search. Also, are auction price guides bullshit like they often are in Sydney? I'm seeing some houses in my price range that look pretty good but am dubious if they're too good to be true.

Price range: $750-770K max, though I'd prefer to pay around a 100K less

Property type: House with a small garden ideally but I could also happily do a two bed apt with a courtyard garden.

Needs: Single, older professional, no kids but two dogs. I'd like somewhere a bit queiter (leafy green) and near parklands (rather than hecti

Hi,

I'm looking to buy in the mountains and while I'd very much prefer a house, the way the market has exploded since the FHB 5% scheme may prohibit that :(

Anyway, I keep seeing ads for apartments in the Leura Spires complex. Any owner-occupiers with thoughts on whether it's a good place to live?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi all, So… I’d cleaned the blocked milk wand on my Breville BE & it started working again briefly. Then, I descaled the machine. Now the milk wand and hot water tap no longer work and water is pouring out of the group head instead.

Any tips or ideas or should I take it in for repair? It’s had 5 years of daily use.

Jacqui?!?! Wut?!

Surely this rumor can’t be true SURELY?!

Surely this rumor can’t be true SURELY?!

Long story short: I had years of sobriety but relapsed and have been on-off (more on than off) for the past two years. Lately struggling with binge drinking spirits (in secret and on my own) plus vaping medical marijuana carts heavily. I’m not craving a drink but craving HARD to go get a cart today. Unfortunately I still have a prescription so it’s just a 20-min drive to the compounding pharmacy and voila!

Posting here for the first time ever in the hopes it might help. I’m also going to go do some vigorous cleaning now and hope the urge passes. Could just use some support. Particularly if anyone has quit carts and has words about the benefits.

As of today I’m one-week clean of both boo

It’s been 55 days. Quitting was easier than expected given I’d been alternately vaping carts, smoking and using oil constantly. I feel heaps better & have actually achieved two major goals since I quit!

So why now am I trying to convince myself I can get one cart (left on my medical prescription) to use ‘a bit’? I know this is stupid and the thoughts are still intrusive. I’m making excuses why it would be ‘fun’ to use, which I know I was miserable when I was struggling to quit.

Talk sense into me? Had a similar experience?
