Anybody have or used a steam mop before? Just for general purpose floor cleaning ? I use an old school mop and commercial grade bucket on wheels which works fantastic but can be unwieldy for some.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah I have one. They're a bit bulky but do a good job. I think the mops with a spray bottle and washable pads work better than a standard mob and bucket.

Thanks chief. Pull up alright this morning? Stay hydrated today.

Finally got the motivation to tackle That Cupboard in the kitchen (you all know the one). Better half of two bin bags and a good half of the yellow bin later, plus a few things for the op shop pile and a few things I need to sort/see if they can be repaired etc.

Now time for a well earned drinkie and later, watch more of Mary and George.

Coffee and Eggs Benedict please. No wait, are Eggs Quentin on offer? If so, those. I agree that Eggs Eadgifu are better suited to the after eight menu so not those.

Ran a risky play and popped the oven on for thirty mins to crisp up some pre-parboiled vege to have for the next few days, doubled down and cooked some snags....I think it worked. Now have yummy salad options.

yums

Mulwala Water Ski Club has generously decided to fund my entire weekend and even added in a little extra spending money. Now back to hide in my air-conditioned motel room.

I decided to sell my weights set as, despite best intentions, I have really not been using it. One last workout getting everything to the door for pickup. Miss Meow is going to miss the bench, she enjoyed sitting on it.

Edit: weight set is now out of the house. No idea how the guy who bought it is planning on getting it into his car. Mr Woof is keeping an eye on him while he tries various tetris combinations.

Normally I penny pinch to a ludicrous level (because I like having extra money for emergencies) but there's a $25 magnetic laundry shelf thing at Kmart that might keep things a bit tidier. It also holds a roll of paper towel but with the placement it could hold a hand towel.

I'm also wanting various art supplies. Perhaps a few more pairs of period jocks. Why does everything cost so much.

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be careful with magnetic shelves, they can be addictive. I'm up to four in the kitchen and one in my locker at work. If you have the right spot for them they can be very useful.

Oh no not the Moomba parade ๐Ÿ˜” That and the birdman rally are the only decent things about Moomba.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

moomba parade was started to stop people going to labour union marches

Ha, that's the most humany shit I've ever heard. "Sir! The people are revolting over shit conditions and lackluster wages!"

"What the fuck is wrong with these greedy, self absorbed, entitled savages??? Only I deserve to be making money around here. I know! Have some people walk around in costumes! That'll ~~distract~~ cheer everyone up!"

"Holy shit it worked! You're getting a double bonus this year you legend!"

Back in Melbs from Tassie and holy crap itโ€™s still so hot. Now for the impossible task of cooling my house thatโ€™s been locked up for 3 days.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

American Fiction is frigging hilarious. I haven't laughed out loud so many times watching a movie in ages.

O shit I forgot to pull my plants in. The water platter had also dried up and fallen down again already.
