I used a phrase today that I dont know if its just my family no one older or younger at work had any idea what I meant.
"Chooff off " - when you are waiting or wanting someone to leave a car space or waiting in queue and you want person to Chooff off as you are next or want to take spot

It is DEEPLY satisfying to have a CLEAN freshly washed car.
So much smoke ash and very dirty rain over the weekend blowing in from the bushfires here in Victoria. So with calmer winds and clear skys. I can wash the car after work because of the Long Summer twighlight in Melbourne.

No where near as exciting as the hard rubbish live security camera feed at Peak lockdown it was a must watch weekend of sneaky blatant and many gawkers and mess makers courtesy @dustypee
Mine is just standard council 3m x 1m hard rubbish booking. We get 2 per financial year. I used one in March 2025

I NEARLY forgot it was bin night and even more importantly I Remembered to put the prawn head/shells from Freezer IN the bin.
Our Street "Binfluencer" is away on Holiday so no bin out from them.
I have been so focused on going back to work tomorrow.

Living with my ASD beautiful boy is challenging and we go through phases and sometimes this leads to practical and helpful changes and growth in emotional regulation or progress with socialisation.
One thing that raises my anxiety is ongoing verbal monologue.

Happy Boxing Day Test match to all those who celebrate 🥳
I am in my happy place.
Boxing Day.
Cricket on the TV and radio.
I will pick at cherries Christmas chocolate the good crackers and special cheeses and dinner is cold meats and salads. Calm and zero stress today.

So the down side of doing the prawns for lunch is that the most sober person has to do the bin run.
okay to explain. 5 days until bin night owner of the household bin is going away so this means the prawn shells + heads need to GO otherwise it will stink out the bin which is already full.

Not Christmas cooking - but we still gotta eat and this fakeaway Pad Thai using the kit is great the tofu, chicken, yellow capsicum, egg beansprouts and spring onion are added by me. The sauce noodles and peanuts come in kit. Yummmm

Forget Christmas crack - just buy these. No one has to make them. These are the go to in my family. You can't just eat one. We call them chocolate sticks - yes they come in other flavours.But in my opinion NOTHING comes close to original chocolate so we don't bother with Anything else.

I have been declared 📜 WORST mother in the world by my 19yr old daughter.
So you can all stop trying to compete.
The Heinous crime i have committed to earn this title?
I asked her to actually properly clean and tidy her room and Donate the clothes she doesn't want anymore.
December 23, 2025 at 10:14 AM
Because my Children have never cared enough to ask.. it was actually my Dad who used to buy and peel the prawns at Christmas time. I don't have marny good /safe not traumatic related memories of my Dad and even fewer of us doing Anything together.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄 and these are two of my favourite things at Christmas

I see nepotism is ALIVE and well - argh the Annoying voice is clearly in the DNA for this next generation of host/commentator.
Let's hope there has been some enlightenment and importantly some Education to ensure racism is NOT a tradition that continues

When someone Writes in an email : " I also want to gently reiterate that although we truly empathise with how difficult this season is, the program is non-refundable as outlined clearly in our terms and conditions at the time of joining"
This is passive aggressive right?
December 18, 2025 at 3:19 AM
