    Well I’ve put on about 6 kg since my birthday. As I said in another comment, I’m good all year until my birthday to Xmas. Those 2½ months become a gorgefest of gluttony. I don’t know whether to fight it or embrace it. Maybe I’m banking all my treat days 😆

    I’ve been pretty busy tho. Work’s been pretty physical and also this weekend I’ve been tearing the flat apart and rearranging and deep cleaning it while I look for a library book the Elder received a notice from school about, which we’re both sure he returned. If we don’t find it they say they won’t let him graduate. From primary school 🤨 Last time this happened he was a prep, and they refused to let him borrow for weeks. They sent home 3 letters about it and they found it sitting on the library shelf, where it had presumably been the whole time! Good excuse to deep clean the flat, throw out a couch (was lighter than I expected 💪) and arrange things more suitably. Mr P can’t really do these things anymore, too much strain on the back.

      Does the school principal have a history of working at Centrelink with the robodebt scheme? Threatening an excessive punishment against someone you hold a great deal of power over, for a minor transgression you allege with no real proof or path of appeal, sounds very familiar.

        Lol that’s simultaneously funny and sad… I think she’s one of those career education department people. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
