Saturday Soiree-- 7th February 2026

Hi

I got notification that my rent (In social housing) is going up $100 per week

On the bright side, I ate an Aldi tiramisu

@Glisten how was your Saturday?

I spent much of the morning looking at my eyelids because my back told me to. MM has been like a piece of velcro all day and is now speaking the language of his people despite me telling him I have no idea what he's saying.

Maybe he's telling me he has no idea what I am saying to him.

@MissGremlin how are you today? Has Saturday been kind to you? Let me know if I need to get terse with it 🙂 xo

Hello @ENKELI sweetheart. Saturday daytime was tolerable, night time however needs a good butt kicking 😂.

How was your day sweet?

@MissGremlin my day was a non event, I rested and slept a lot thanks to pain pills and sciatica. I surfaced around 3, got decent and went to the chemist and Coles and have been catching up on chores this evening.

As for Saturday night -

@ENKELI sciatica pain is no fun whatsoever, hugs to you sweetheart ❤️.

You did well to go to Coles and catch up on chores ☺️.

Haha that'll teach Saturday night 😂.

I think that I worked it out. They counted rent assistance twice in the formula. Or as a weekly not fortnightly figure

I have emailed them to double check

And I'm tempted to email my former psychiatrist, who Dx'ed my email and spreadsheet writing as OCD to point out how much it potentially saved (I guess THOSE are the emails he refers to, not the rent ones lol)

Sitting with you @DogMan79

@DogMan79 seems to me like you are being thorough.
