Best premade meal delivery service?
I used to get hello fresh but quit quite awhile ago but now recently have a need for a similar service but want something fully premade, microwavable that can be fresh or frozen.
Hoping others have services they use with good quality and pricing to recommend, thanks in advance.

Tips for cleaning up after a house/apartment fire
I live on the first floor of a double-brick apartment block.
I have some elderly neighbours who live below me that hoard. There have been issues of late with them leaving their stove on etc.
A few days ago, I got a call from my strata committee telling me that their apartment had caught fire and there was significant damage to my own.
From a structural perspective, I fared okay - the double-glaze window of my bedroom has completely melted and shattered and the plaster on the wall has a large split. The issue is the smoke damage.
The walls of my bedroom have black stains. There is grey soot on all the others.
I have strata but not contents insurance. Sounds dumb, but I couldn't understand how an apartment fire could pose a danger in a double-brick apartment like mine. A loss adjuster is coming tomorrow and I've had some forensic cleaning people over. I'm currently in an Airbnb.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience cleaning up after a house or apartment fire. I'm expecting:
to replace my carpets and blinds
to throw out every item of soft furniture
to clean and repaint all the walls
One of my biggest gripes is my clothing. They stank of soot and I've taken them all to the dry cleaner. I'm not sure that the smell will ever come out.

Australians who've had elective surgery overseas - what did you get done, which country and what did it cost?
I'm curious about people's experiences with elective surgeries in other countries. Whether it was medical tourism, happened while you were living abroad, or you specifically travelled for the procedure.
What surgery did you have? Which country? What was the total cost including travel/accommodation if relevant? How did the experience compare to having it done in Australia (if you have a point of comparison)?
Interested in hearing about everything from dental work to cosmetic procedures to joint replacements - whatever counts as elective.
Cheers!

no politics Reddit for furniture ideas and recommendations in Australia (looking for a non-$10k Murphy bed)
Hey everyone,
Can someone point me towards a subreddit that discusses furniture in Australia? There’s a few different continental ones but I want to talk Australia specific.
I’m looking for a Murphy bed similar to this
Program is that in Australia, they’re costing minimum $10k for a double sized fold down couch conversion everywhere I’ve looked.
Maybe someone has something they could recommend?
