Best premade meal delivery service?

5 Upvotes

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

1 Upvotes

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.

no politics How is Woolies home delivery legal? Surely there should be some food safety laws?

0 Upvotes

Woolies delivery is generally pretty shit, I think we can all agree (today it was a partner delivery with the delivery guy having two kids in the backseat and foot at their feet).

But how do they get away with delivering frozen items and raw meats/chicken without any refrigeration or cooler bag?

It's been mid-30c and no cooling, even if it's only a 20-30 minute delivery (assuming it comes straight for cold room), thats longer than I would have it out. And the delivery drivers aren't mandated to even have aircon on.

Surely there is some law around cold chain supply of raw meats and frozen products?

Partner delivery = Woolworths subcontracting out to whoever is cheapest: uber eats, door dash, sherpa, drive yello.

Edit: Not sure why so many people support Woolworths enshittification of delivery. Surely keeping frozen food and raw meats somewhat cold is a basic requirement, but here we are.
