So I'm putting my toys together and the little dog doesn't like electronics so he jumps on the kid, who of course is on her phone, to get away. Then I hear "oh my god dude. You just wiped your dick across my screen". ๐ I couldn't tell her off because I was laughing ๐

Made pizzas yesterday but only had enough toppings the kids like for one pizza for them. Decided on a whim to put some leftover chicken cacciatore on the other one with a sprinkle of cheese. Can 100% recommend!
I've been using Amazon for years, never had an issue, but the delivery that was due last Thursday got delayed until today, but still no sign of it and the 'onboard for delivery' status hasn't changed since Thursday afternoon. Amazon sent a text apologising for the delay and if I don't receive it today I can claim a refund tomorrow.
If I do get a refund but then the delivery miraculously turns up, do I get to keep it for free? Like I say, never had this issue before.
Yes
You probably could as the delivery was beyond their acceptable timeframe ... they're the ones saying you can claim, no backsies.
Phone holder set up and Bluetooth dongle now integrated with car stereo.
Yiss.
Anyone got any of those winning lottery tickets? First day back after holidays and I'm already pining to get out of here....
I'll take one too if you find someone with a few... I'm not sure what this 'holiday' thing IS of which you speak, but it sounds interesting...
Someone yesterday kindly informed me that the really good daily thread had moved here so here I am! Hi everyone. In other news for the fourth day in a row, I don't think I will be able to leave my study or house. Way to many PhD things to do right now.
How are your comedy adventures with alllll of the cats and Pomeranian going?!
It is about as disastrous and hilarious as you would imagine. Four is too many animals for one person, especially when they all want love and attention.
I was gonna reply something like this about your blinds based phd but you're here now so here it is: 
Your comment has got me thinking way to much about the history of Venetian blinds and I do feel there is a procrastination research rabbit hole in the near future for me.

Hello!! It's a bit more of an echo chamber here and there's not much activity on the sub itself but lots more of the friendly daily rambling vibe on the old DT. Great to see you here. Good luck with getting through the current research hole! I hope you're all stocked up on food and drinks.
was too many bad snacks stocked up but hey thinking burns calories right?

I turned down the kitten that was up for adoption through a friend of a friend. As cute as it is, after doing some research, I think I'm better off adopting an adult cat. I was worried about single kitten syndrome and all of the work involved in caring for a high energy kitten. Plus I'm about to make a big career change and want to settle with that before I adopt. UGH responsible decision making.
Mummy got cleaning toys, kids ๐ a stick vacuum and a spot cleaner. It's time to play play play.
stick vacuum
What did you get? We went with a Samsung when we moved house last year because we're now double-story and have to contend with stairs for the first time in decades. Honestly, the stick vac is a game changer, no regrets at all, way better than pushing around the old heavy Dyson.
Just the Aldi version, nothing fancy. It's just for quick clean ups. I have a proper vacuum for the major clean. That's a miele and when it dies I'll replace it with another miele.
Today's lunch toastie really hit the spot. Chicken, cheese, onion, sauerkraut and a mix of tomato relish and mayonnaise. On a dark capeseed loaf.
Dear god that sounds so good and much better then the packet of Burger Rings I am having.
Sounds delicious!
Yeah it's toastie time here too, I was going to make it with some really nice free-range leg ham we have in the fridge, but we also have heaps of roast chicken leftover from yesterday's dinner, so better use that up first
a toastie sounds delicious
but I can't cook at the moment ๐
Back from interstate yesterday. Attended a lovely wedding Saturday night and kiddo had an awesome time with his nana and uncle. Flight was amazing too, to my great surprise. But my god flying with a baby even one who is being chill is a whole lot more work than I expected.
My sister and her husband are currently overseas with their 5 month old and omg listening to what they had to prepare for the travel was exhausting to listen too. Never realised before just how much you have to plan when flying with a baby.
Hire car returned, new car purchased and rego transferred.
I'm beat! Car drives like a dream though.
Whoo congrats on the new car!
what did you get?
Volvo XC70 wagon. :)
Oh nice, my neighbors have volvos and bloody love them! So much so they brought the exact same car in a different colour.
My mechanic is so good I changed cars for him (albeit when that one was written off). Definitely sticking with Volvos at least until they retire - hopefully won't be for a while!
Congrats mate.
Thanks!
To the downvoter who downvotes this thread every day, you make laugh. ๐
