Windows are being replaced with double glaze today, at 7.30am.

Also have a combination of medicine issues with a lil bit of food poisoning. Makes for my first sickday ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

On the brightside: i can call workforce today to remove the hold on my payment. Apparently not going to the employment training for the last two days of it last week (bc I gained FT employment) means I'm a bad dole bludger and must be punished with even more poverty ugh ๐Ÿ™„

That's awesome, they make such a big difference. Fingers crossed the installation goes smoothly. Can't wait to get some for our place in ... 5-10 years, probably

Lucky duck, enjoy the double glazing when it's in - it's SO good! So much warmer and quieter

oooo who'd you go with for the glazing? Pricing? We're eyeing off between that and magnetite

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, it was organised via the body corp/our landlord; we're just renters who were told they were coming to do the thing.

Actually, I just checked my emails and the body corp says the works were/are completed by Andreatta Group. No idea on pricing.

fuck me, an actual proactive landlord!

Ooh take care buddy!

Sorry your feeling shitty (excuse the pun). Hope your work is chill about it
