As the summer heatwaves hit Cheltenham and Armadale, residents found themselves seeking refuge from the relentless sun. In Cheltenham, a family of four experienced this struggle first-hand in their heritage home. Despite its beauty, the house lacked one essential modern amenity: air conditioning. Cheltenham, known for its unpredictable weather, was showing no mercy with its …
Here we go again guys. It’s six months on since the whole air conditioner debacle with my boyfriend. For those of you who don’t know, he was living in this apartment that was a total sweatbox and was too lazy to get the air conditioner fixed. I had to organise the air conditioning repair myself. …
I don’t know how or why I became an avid 4×4 enthusiast, but here we are. Since developing this obsession, I’m always looking for ways to add to my off-road vehicle to increase its value and make it even more useful. The more I take my 4×4 off-road, the more I start noticing certain struggles. …
This forum has always felt like a safe place for me to express my worries and fears, and I thank all of you so much for that. Truly, deeply, from the bottom of my withered old heart – I appreciate all of you, individually and as a big, beautiful collective. I know it sounds like …

Ah, good old parent-teacher day. I am willing to bet my entire life savings that absolutely no one enjoys attending these things. For the teachers, it means having to prepare a discussion about kids you hardly know anything about while at risk of being yelled at by a parent. For the parent, it means having …
Well, we’re selling our beautiful cottage home! When I say cottage, it’s not that the house actually is a cottage. It’s more so the fact it looks like a cottage on the outside but inside it’s modern to the core. It’s sad that we’re having to sell, but we’re doing it because we’re moving somewhere …
Is today ‘help me find a residential architect day’ or something? Seriously, if I had a nickel for every time somebody asked me where they could find the best architect in the area, I’d have two nickels – which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened twice. I guess the recent changes …
“Oi, Dazza! Dazza!” Those were the words I heard when playing a game of darts at the pub. I assumed it was someone in a stupor trying to get my attention about something trivial. The crew were always clowning around and having a laugh. Nothing would ever get too hectic as we all had to …
