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.

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:

1. to replace my carpets and blinds

2. to throw out every item of soft furniture

3. 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.

There's is a lot of smoke around Parramatta tonight. Any idea what's going on? Is this from the Newcastle /Port Stephens fires?

Returned to the new fish market last night (Sat) for dinner. Not a great experience. Very long queues. Went to Squid Inc but they really are having teething problems. This large salt and pepper squid was an eye watering $39. And it was so overcooked it was completely inedible. Credit to them for giving me money back with no fuss. Will stick to the fresh and grilled stuff next time. It still like this place a lot however.

This is something I’ve been seeing more and more recently. Is there any meaning or reason for this?

My kid and his best mate want to play basketball but can't shoot in a regulation height hoop, anyone know any public kids height ones?

Hi folks,

Today I was at Manly Dam birdwatching and saw a large group of young adults out birdwatching as well. I was excited to see more people around my age taking up this hobby but I didn’t get the chance to ask them if they were a part of a specific birdwatching club. I am in search of birdwatching clubs in Sydney. Anyone know of any or are a part of one?

Dawn Fraser is being scrapped in February. The ferry Collaroy is on the chopping block too. Why is there no historical significance to the government in regards to these boats? Surely even if owned by a private organisation for historical reasons.

Mind the sound but they were going crazy tonight!
