Greetings friends!
Welcome to another week of the longstanding tradition that is Open Post. If you’re just joining us for the first time, this is our kind of little-bit-of-everything-all-rolled-into-one post. Think of it like a community notice board, where we all talk about what’s happening – in life, at work, at home, in the news.
So here we go.
Here’s what’s happening at Mamamia this week:
To start with, our dear boss Mia Freedman this week introduced us to standing meetings. The idea was to make the Mamamia editorial meetings shorter. But then the meeting went for 48 minutes…
We’ve become a little bit obsessed by the combination of Slurpees and popping candy. (Seriously, if you haven’t tried it yet… RUN).
We’ve also started a new tradition of dressing up to a theme on Wednesday’s. Last week was black and gold. Today is animal print.
Aaaaaand, that’s about it from Mamamia HQ.
Over to you now. What’s happening in your world? Do share…

Got the worlds worst tummy bug and spent the last two days violently throwing up and sobbing hysterically. My boyfriend looked after me though, that was sweet :)
I have a rant re TAXES please bear with me. We are buying our first house, in order to get the loan we had to lodge last fin year taxes which we don't normally do until May thus giving us an instant tax debt to pay now, plus higher pre paid installments now based on last years income which looked high due to accountant doing things so we could get said loan. Not to mention govt has slogged us with 20k stamp duty on our home. How do people do this??? All up 50k in taxes plus 20k stamp duty on top of hard saved deposit for house. I know I'd be thinking geez they must earn a lot but we are an average small business that struggles to pay prepaid income tax, personal payg, bas and super. I think I'd have more actual cash in my hand if I was on the dole!!! Why do we have to pre pay, how can anyone ever catch up? The ATO slugs us with interest soon as we are late, why can't we slug them for forcing us to pay before it's actually due?
