just bought this artwork from the market near my new place 😭

Recently had to move away from my balcony pigeons Pasquale, Helen, Susie, Pingu, Stefani and Pidgey P and my heart is broken. I miss them so much. This made me giggle. Artist is Loopsie Daisie from Melbourne AU.

Vacated almost 2 weeks ago, no update re final inspection or bond?

Not a shit rental itself, per se, but a shit situation in which I was attacked by my neighbour so had to break my lease and vacate a properly a month and a half earlier than the end of my lease. Deep cleaned it with my mum (who’s a cleaner) and gave the keys back on the 15th. Agent said he’s not sure when he’ll be able to get there to do the final inspection but he’ll let me know. It’s almost been two weeks now and I haven’t heard anything? Is this normal?

There are difficult circumstances - the neighbour who attacked me is in the same apartment building so maybe the agent is being cautious? I desperately need my bond back as I was required to take two weeks off work while couch-surfing and in emergency accommodation, which means I have lost half my income for the month. The landlord was very kind and let me break the lease a month early and also refunded me for half the month I’d already paid for in advance. Considering doing it myself on the RTBA website but don’t want to be a pain? For some reason. Worried I won’t get my bind back due to some wear and tear on the floorboards. If they come back with things that need to be cleaned better I literally can’t go back it is not safe for me at all and I have an intervention order against the neighbour who still resides in the building?

Edit: removed the address but I’m putting it back in. I don’t believe people need to do their “own due diligence” I will warn others as this place has had a significant impact on my mental health and i wouldn’t wish that on anyone else. Address is 70 Edinburgh St Flemington don’t rent in this building the rent is cheap for a reason. Don’t buy in this building, it’s cheap, once again, for a reason.

Reasonable quote for double roller blinds for two windows? See below

One is a big window with door to balcony and the other is a small window in a bedroom?

Trapped gas?? 💨

I got my Mirena IUD inserted about a week and a half ago and since insertion I’ve been experiencing trapped gas particularly in the evening and at night, and then I wake up in the morning with approximately 2000 long ass farts 😭 the trapped gas hurts quite a bit, and feels like bad cramping. I now have my period (on day 4) and it seems to have worsened since getting my period. No issues with diarrhoea or constipation though. Has anyone else had this? Did it ever go away im already tired of being a bloated gassy queen 🫣 never farted so much in my LIFE??? (I don’t have IBS also)

What kind of curtains/blinds?

Just bought my first home, need to put in some curtains or blinds for a bit of privacy and also to block my Dogs view of Cats on the street. Unfortunately, my brain thinks every single option for blinds or curtains is extremely ugly. I hate the way that double roller blinds look. Venetian blinds are dusty as hell. I’m worried curtains will look tacky. I’m leaning towards a single Blockout roller blind with some sheer curtains over the top but I’m just not sure this is the main window of the apartment so I don’t want too much light to be blocked out during the day, either. What would you do? Located in Melbourne if anyone’s got any good recommendations on Blind or curtain installers.

Tips on how to clean a stain off tiles specifically

Sorry for bad photos, just bought this apartment and it has a stain on the tiles. Confirmed with bathroom guy and inspector that it’s not mould - but no idea what it’s stained with. They suggested bleach, any other recs? Don’t want to destroy the tiles. (Yes silicone is rank it’s been re-siliconed since). Located in Australia.

Purchasing a property and a few days after everything was approved and after I signed the title transfer a caveat was put on the property which initially was going to be removed before settlement. Now the vendors conveyancer is saying it will be removed after settlement? Which I am not comfortable with for obvious reasons lol I’m just curious about what might cause this? I don’t know what the caveat is for, I know the original owner died so the apartment is being sold by the executors of his estate. Perhaps some debts? A divorce? My conveyancer will figure it out. But my mind will be running all weekend naturally about whether I’m about to inherit some dead guys debt if it isn’t sorted 🤠
