Last week I boiled and somewhat successfully peeled 8 eggs for the week of eating, this week I almost destroyed two whole eggs with my peeling techniques. I don't think it's the longer finger nails but maybe it is?? Hahaha

I hope so but I'm back inside now hiding from the cold!

Locked in $165 fuel this morning. Price must have gone up shortly after.

Ended up saving $17 on a tank tonight 😳

12C with a top of 15C in Hobart this morning. We're supposed to be in winter now right?

Balmy!! It was 0C when I woke up this morning! It's sunny at least and our top will be the same as yours.

I just did my tax and holy shit they weren't kidding about getting less back this year. I really really need to get myself an accountant/financial advisor who can help me finesse my money so I can pay less tax. It's friggin insane. I'm all for paying a fair share but I feel like I'm paying my share and maybe someone else's too.

Edit: just updated my income/tax spreadsheet and found that even though the amount of tax I'm paying is obscene, the % of my income paid in tax is actually pretty consistent, even marginally down from the previous 3 years. Still hurts but this puts it into perspective.
