My oldest child just turned 4 and we have enjoyed playing some of the Haba games as of recent such as Orchard. Though I’ve been in the hobby over 10 years I’ve never looked deeply into other possibilities of games for preschool aged children. So board game fathers and mothers here, what are some of your favorites you introduced to your kids?
Hi friends, are you in good health? Please consider donating blood.

thanks so much
Planning to do an Accounting and Finance degree and trying to decide which one to go for. I'm almost done with A levels and completed 6/13 of the ACCA papers.
Both have similar fees structure, and scholarship requirements are almost the same. Could anyone advise me on which is better in regards to other factors such as, Social life, Campus, Teachers.
Thanks
A certain Mr Troy lost his wallet with cash, cards and drivers license.
I handed it over to a member of the north Wollongong lifesaver.
If you’re reading this or anyone who knows him is reading this please let him know.
Edit: the wallet will be in the lifesaver’s HQ on the beach.
Edit: wallet was found today, 2 January at around 10 am. I believe this info is crucial.
Hi everyone,
So bit of background - I lived in Wollongong till I was 18 and then left to the big smoke to attend university. I am currently single (26, f) and trying to solidify myself in my career.
My current situation - I'm one year into full time work in my field, which requires A LOT of driving around to conduct fieldwork around Sydney, especially in the far western suburbs. The traffic is killing me... I'm in the car 3-4 hrs a day! However, this is a reality of the career I have chosen so there is really no way around it. Working in the CBD isn't really on the cards for me.
I just got offered a government job in my field based in Wollongong. The prospect of shorter commutes to the office and fieldwork and a general improved work-life balance is really appealing to me, and at the end of the day Wollongong is home to me - I kind of miss it. I am just super super hesitant about moving back due to the following factors: (a) lack of friends - everyone seems to be in the same friend groups since high school and I doubt I would be very welcomed back into my old group of friends... we have all changed so much. Is Wollongong super cliquey? Would I have genuine issues forming new relationships? (b) seeming lack of "extra-cirricular" activities for adults - I grew up dancing and have continued this passion of mine on Sydney, where there is an abundance of dance studios/acro schools dedicated to adults. I also love community social sports in my area... In Wollongong such a variety of after-work activities seem to be scarce, as I guess people settle down a lot sooner on average than people in Sydney. Am I mistaken?
Thanks for reading my brain vomit. I guess i'm just asking whether you guys think my concerns are justified. Would love to hear any personal experiences/stories.
Thanks!!!
Update: Decided on the move. Thanks for all your input!
Does anyone know where I can get a pre departure PCR test in the Illawarra? I need one 48 hrs before my fight. I’ve tried calling some pathology clinics but haven’t been able to get through.
Edit: do not go to 4ctye Wollongong. They are closed (I learnt this the hard way after paying for the tests online)
Edit 2: Just go to the airport. I’ve driven to x6 places today trying to find a place. Other pathology places (eg Southern IML) can’t guarantee results back in time - they advised to get it done at Histopath at the airport.
