Mystery pakidge... details went to my work email, but had attempted delivery at home... very strange. Waiting for it to land at the post office so I can collect. Also waiting on delivery of new keyboard which will make life easier as this one is playing some wonderful tricks while dying.

smitten natural plant based cat litter
when the cats use it it smells like evil rice bubbles made not with hot milk but cat pee ๐คข๐คข๐คข๐คฎ
I am never buying this again. ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ท
Agreed. I buy it as an emergency bag. It's good for not getting kicked everywhere, but has strong odour and isn't cheap.
Ew. I like the pine pellets, they turn into sawdust when they get wet and absorb smells well. Bit noisy but that's ok.
include a shifting litter tray and you can reduce your litter usage as well.
I think I'll steer clear of that.
At the moment I'm using "World's Best" cat litter which is made from corn and very low odour and Miss Meow seems happy with. I tried a tofu based one but Mr Woof thought it was a great snack.

I imagine there won't be many people in the office today.
Guys that's handing over created a confluence page with all the info I need. Turns out we pretty much have 1 week to handover.
The CEO and my line manager came and apologised to me about the situation and said he basically blind sided them with his resignation as he was supposed to move departments.
I appreciated that. They've also been completely transparent with their financials, which I've never experienced before.
Let's see how things play out.
Enjoy your day everyone :)
the difference between a good place and a bad place is so obvious once you experience it
this is really good , you need this and you got this ๐

Mount Dishmore is getting impressive againโฆ itโs all โsoakingโ.
I just remembered something though. You canโt use normal dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher (especially a mini one) because excessive foam can damage the machine. But somewhere recommended putting baking soda in the dispenser with 2 drops of dish soap. Maybe I could get away with using one drop with the bicarb.
I also know that vinegar reduces foaming (with a risk of damaging rubber pipes or seals if it sits).
Itโs worth a shot. I already know Iโm not getting a refund and the extra work of trying to manually scrub and rinse the strong soap off everything afterwards means itโs sitting unused.
Um, don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but ... Read the manual carefully. Check to see if there's an outlet valve that's not working properly. Clean any outlet points/valves/tubes with a pipe cleaner (the coloured ones for craft work well) or straw size bottlebrush. Even a small blockage may mean that rinse/wash water is re-circulating when it shouldn't be. Also air bubbles in the intake valve may prevent proper water circulation so poke a pipe cleaner in them too (gently).

there is not much heating in this house ๐ฅถ
good air conditioning tho
Electric blankets are like $30 at Kmart and so worth it. There are also heated throws if you want it on a chair but theyโre less warm.
Warning: There is a risk of having the heat source commandeered by furry overlords
heated throws are SO worth it!
we will survive ๐

That sounds incredible! So we'll all meeting up for cake on the beach later?!

I was so tired I fell asleep attached to a TENS machine with a horror movie playing. ๐ So thatโs how life is going.
The stuff is here. Iโm going to see if I have the energy to split up and rewrap the pack of soap (just so one person doesnโt get 8 bars and everyone else gets none). The tp is the thin rough Delsey but itโs the easiest least suss way to distribute individual rolls.
The fabric pieces of this doll got wrinkled so I have to iron them again before sewing. Note to self - 100% cotton fabric wrinkles super easily and is not a forgiving choice.
hugs, you're a kind person.
Trying to work off this horrific karma I seem to have /half joking
