Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
Very tempted to sell some of my stoncks, and buy a 2 bedroom older walk up unit. Still have room for the CGT taxable part of the sale to go into First home super, and it's de-risking in case of a crash.
There's a tonne of them coming up for sale right now, and the mortgage + strata payments work out to be around the same as the rent.
What price range are you looking at?
Under $500K. Ideally under $450K.
Movie review. Knight of Cups with Christian Bale.
This movie is so beautiful nearly made me cry.

Response to Seagoon: I bought codral, not Sudafed, so that's prolly why my nose is swollen. I should have bought Sudafed, or spoken to a chemist for the good shit (codeine)
I stupidly ordered nestle hot choc sachets from Amazon without checking the ingredients. Corn syrup dammit. Had the nestle hot choc sachets at a training centre in the city and could only find them on Amazon. Clearly not the same though.
That is disappointing. I have them supplied at work, so if you want lots of them you could try an office supply store.
Edit: I just had a quick look and Officeworks has it available online - you can get a 750g pack of the same mix if you don't want to buy 100 individual sachets!
