Got woken early by one of those spam texts that bypass the DND setting and didn't manage to get back to sleep. Two clients today, first one who was That Client last week. I'll see how it is this time but I may be requesting a reassignment.

I got a couple of those this morning but Google Messages grabbed them like a champ.

Has anyone moved from Telstra Mobile to Aldi? Aldi uses the Telstra network, but I've read it's only their old equipment. Is the service acceptable?

I'm about to get the kid a phone for Christmas, and look like finally merging our phone service onto a family plan. The Aldi family plan with four sims is actually cheaper than what my wife and I are presently paying for Telstra/Optus. We've never merged our phone plans.

I'm tempted to get him the most basic Aldi plan. Hoping to teach him the importance of budgetting data - but even their $19 plan comes with 10 GB. I was getting by with 2 GB less than a decade ago.

Before I do anything drastic, will I regret this move?

Went to bunnings early this morning because one of my powerboards decided to die last night.

Car has been dropped at the mechanic, now to chill (aka freak out because what IF something is magically wrong with it) for a few hours since old mate reckons it'll be done by 12pm.

Mitsubishi Pajero NT 09 (diesel). She's as clean as a whistle (apart from needing a suspension upgrade), just put her in for a once-over before the big holiday driving starts. Usually, I do something like this myself, but my calendar is a little full at the moment, and to be honest, I felt like being lazy.
