    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, I turned the flat upside down, 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…

      it’s their secret plot to get you to deep clean and rearrange the school library
