Fezza Chit Chat #2 ✌🏻✌🏻

[grifter]

Fezzas, I'm watching The Block at the moment and really like Oz and Omar, and Sharon and Ankur (especially Ankur - he is a sweetheart!). I feel that this lot got a bit of a snarky edit - anyone else agree?

Sarah Jane and Rachel drive me mad ... Rachel has so much filler in her lips that she can't talk properly. She's not fun to watch either - always complaining. Sarah Jane is very immature and scatty.

I did like Dylan and Jenny but she annoys me too - haha, at least I'm consistent!

The hero of the show is Scotty's dog ... what a sweetheart she is!

Judges-wise, I just loooooove Neale - I love him with Andrew Winter on Selling Houses, too (which might be coming to NZ - with them hosting!!!).

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the show this year. I think they've overcomplicated it in recent times - by introducing Alice from Domain and the Suncorp lady ... the game changer, too. I hope they go back to basics.

Yeah I agree with all you said about the block contestants.
Sarah Jane was immature but I could handle her, I really didn’t like Rachel, all she did was whinge and complain about how hard done she was.

Ankur and Sharon were ok, a little draining but I do think they were done dirty with the edit.

I didn’t like Jenny, she seemed like a snake and two faced, but most viewers seemed to like her.

I hadn’t watched the block for years but my kids (under 10) have loved watching it in the past couple of years I blame lockdowns ‍ so we watched it as a family

Yes it was Black Cherry hand soap smelt so good haha. Oh that sounds nice I like cut up fruit and ice in water very refreshing.

yummmmm!!!! i usually cut fruit up in the mornings on weekends and eat them throughout the day. however during the day at work, i have one iced chocolate, so good

Ohb

Oh yeah I do. My mum used to buy it and make it up in old cordial bottles. Juice concentrate, there was home brand and a better more expensive one.
Funny sorry, once I was sick, I went to the fridge for a big drink, opened that concentrate and sculled, it was so bad, I hadn’t realised it was so strong and I was choking on it and couldn’t catch my breath

And wow, you can still buy it, different brand. This one makes 2 litres

Oh Thankyou! I can’t find it in Woolies or Cole’s!

I had mine removed a few years back and sometimes I'm fine with stuff like mince; other times I'm not.

A lot of it will be trial and error for you - just because another gallbladder-less person can or can't handle something, doesn't mean you will too.

I'd recommend you start a food diary - record absolutely everything you eat and note how you feel a couple of hours afterwards. Record all drinks too, and additives (e.g., milk - what type, sweetener, what type, etc.). It will soon become obvious what you need to avoid. I usually give something a couple of attempts before writing it off.

My main go-to meals are grilled meat and steamed vegetables (no sauces).

I tend to avoid fatty and creamy things in general. I haven't had fish and chips since my surgery, which is kind of funny as I co-own and fish and chip shop!

Switching to lactose-free milk (Liddell's) or soy / coconut has been good for me. I still enjoy ice cream, but buy vegan which is made from coconut milk.

I'm likely going to have to have my gallbladder out relatively soon - this is so helpful - thank you!

 

[reens84’]

I NEVER THOUGHT ID SA THIS, AFTER TWO PREGNANCY TESTS AND A THIRD ONE SOON, I AM PREGNANT! lets hope this baby sticks with us!! i dont want a CP a 4th time

Omg omg congratulations!!!

 

[Michy02]

And a little goes a long way, so even though they are expensive they last ages

Now I’ve googled it I’ve used that brand before I really like it

 

[HitnMiss]

I love my Miele washer/dryer combo

 

[rulebreaker101]

I use SKII - expensive but lasts like 6 -12 months

 

[reens84’]

Thank you so much for the love! It’s hard not to look at cute things but we are not buying anything yet! The only thing we got is a butterfly maternity pillow and the free hospital bag from the vic government they give out to first time parents! I’m so excited snd much more tired now hahaha

Don’t forget to pop into the chemist and ask for a Bounty Bag too!

Love my dressing gown . My kids got theirs as gifts, but they don’t wear them for the same reason! Just seem to get in the way.

They do! I got mine as a gift and I wanted to like it, but it doesn't work for me.

I’m very short (EmmyLou short ) and the dressing gown I got is so bulky and practically drags on the ground. It looks ridiculous on but keeps me warm.

I'm about the same height as you then! I bought myself a Peter Alexander dressing gown years ago and it's the perfect length, it doesn't drag the on the groundm

 

[Michy02]

Oh the ‘camping’ sounds like fun! Dads in hospital so it’s visits with him and maybe a lunch with the family on Sunday but nothing else.

Oh sorry to hear about your dad Hope everything is ok

 

[Director of Mugs]

Kids driving me bananas over school holidays and week 1 isn't even over yet. Fml.

When do they go back? Some of my friends kids don't go back until the day after Anzac Day. It's a (too) long break.

 

[Director of Mugs]

Howdy fellow fezzas.....I need your farshun advice. Bought this to wear to an event and dunno what shoes will go with it. I didn't want to spend a fortune on said dress as I'll have nowhere else to wear it.

Might ask Emmy for some clodhoppers.

That's a gorgeous dress!

I was thinking a simple black heel or flat would look nice as that way you can wear the shoes again.

Hello, I have been silent a lot of the times. My sister is not doing well. She says she’s fine but her results say otherwise. Cancer is spreading, she is just skin and bones now I don’t know where I can find organic foods in fountain gate to make keto meals for her as she isn’t eating

Sorry to hear. Try Dandenong market?

 

[Bizziebody]

i helped them so much in the past. I think they wont help as much because we live far for them and they are in their own bubble where they dont help others but they want others to help them

That's how it usually works sadly.

 

[tuckoffyourface]

Ok random question please lovely fezzas. Does anyone have a home sauna? Thinking about installing the revel outdoor steam one, it seems to be popular

We do, my husband loves it. We have an indoor one though.

 

[BeachBaby]

I hate the show 'Bay of Fires', it's beyond ridiculous.

Yes!!! I had high hopes but it really jumped the shark when she hit that woman in her car ( sorry if spoilers) and we stopped watching.

 

[BeachBaby]

I use a muslin cloth when I cleanse.

 

[Michy02]

I took a pregnancy test as I’m three days late. And I see a faint line but I’m scared my eyes are playing with me. Can I send it here? I kept it in the test this time cos last time I fkd up

Sure. Show us if you want

@notgifted & @Kalesmoothie i am feeling so happy!! I feel nausea here and there but that’s when I haven’t eaten. I get nervous every week I must admit but then I’m like “let’s just be thrilled you are here!” And I get so happy. I work 8am till 5:30pm everyday, so when I get home at like 6:30 I nap my partner is super happy but also scared in first trimester but it is lovely he is reading all the pregnancy books with me and cleaning up after me it’s just so good, so happy and can’t wait for the first ever scan. Some people around me are also early pregnancy and get high anxiety about the scans but I’m like “you should really be excited, this is the most exciting time” !! I do wanna cry in a tv show I’m watching (ghost whisperer on disney+) and I wake up everyday now 5:30am to pee lol!!! But SO HAPPY! I’m so thrilled it’s hard to explain
