    Awesome.

    I used to that when I lived in UK. Would finish work and jog home - it would often be quicker than the bus/tube anyway :)

    Throw in some headphones and listen to a podcast at the same time - you can learn on the run too.

    Cheers

    Tried it 3 or 4 times and it was a bit inconsistent for me.
    Probably due to having to share a bed with the wife.
    Anyway, I just don't think it worked well for me.
    I could sleep all day easily if I had the opportunity and tend to need more than average sleep.

    I know if I leave the TV running while I sleep, whatever is going on in the background is incorporated into my dreams. I sometimes wake up and have those ahh haa moments when I realize that I have dreamt about whatever was on TV.

    Good idea, I used to ride my bike to work.
    Saves time not having to go after work.

    Depending on where you are, it can cut commuting time too. To ride home takes me 25 minutes. Bus is more like 40 to 50 minutes.

    Yeah, there's a sweet spot of about that long a ride I reckon.
    Longer and it gets too tiring, especially when it's too hot.

    there's more to life than working
    How far you you live from work if you can run/walk to work, but riding takes 25 minutes and the bus takes 40 minutes?

    I life hacked the **** out of my dish washing liquid bottle!

    You know when you go to squeeze some detergent in but thanks to the lids you use 10x more than you need! ? Well fear no more! This hack will save you time, money and the environment!

    Take off the lid supplied and replace as per photo. Then take a knife of your choice and stab the lid to your liking :D

    I fill up a 'used' handwash liquid bottle with the detergent. Firstly, I can press the top (with tip of my finger) to get how much I want and secondly, I dont get my hands soapy/slippery/dirtly liftinh the entire detergent bottle.

    Fancy pants with your liquid. Save even more money and buy the Coles brand, it's about 1/8th of the price!

    True.
    Some things I don't cut corners on like toilet paper etc, but I buy the 99c no name brand dish detergent.. It may not be as concentrated as say morning fresh but for the price different I can buy 4 of them

    Do your DD and your maths... Even using twice as much it's still 1/4 of the price ;)

    Funny how people controlling millions of dollars of assets are concerned about the price of washing up liquid :D

    My brother used to eat Weetbix and proclaim it tasted better so we should never buy the Home Brand rubbish. So naturally filled the Weetbix tin with Home Brand and the goose never noticed!

    Haha I didn't eat it, the brother did. So I'm in the clear... Phew! But not a good thing he didn't notice the difference between the coveted branded stuff and the dogs breakfast...

    Oh indeed I do. I'm quite famous for it amongst my friends :) The partner hates it though, she wants a posh date night every week. Yeah... Nah!

    And they can only be had with cold milk too. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
