Americans seem to call some varieties of pumpkins ‘squash’. At halloween they like to have pumpkin spiced coffee and cakes etc.
so are these using only certain varieties? I see that woolies has a pumpkin spiced mudcake- wonder if they are doing it right?!

you know that pumpkin spice isn't made with pumpkins yeah?

its cinnamon nutmeg clover ginger

its called that because its used in making pumpkin pies

so pumpkin spiced latte and cakes are just made with the same spice mix that they use in the pies

as to whether the woolies cake is correct dunno

Pumpkin and coffee together falls under the category of just because you can doesn't mean you should for me.

I'm looking at booking at a hotel for the first time ever. Most say something along the lines of needing a credit card.

I however do not have a credit card only a debit card. Does a debit card work in it's place?

A debit card works for booking. When you check in though you’ll need to give a pre-auth of around $200. They’ll hold this on your card until after checkout.

I assume that charge basically behaves like "The runner" at Marvel stadium. Tap your card to get in. It bills 50 bucks and makes the adjustment after it works out what you took.

I did read overseas some hotels behave differently with a credit card compared to a debit one. The difference seems to be what pre authorise.

yeah they just hold it in case you raid the minibar, get room service etc.

Who is stupid enough to raid a minibar these days? Don't you need a second mortgage just to pay for a beer?

You can ring them up and pay cash .
They seem to like getting money direct insteed of paying hotel companies.
Just cross reference the price they give you and what's on the hotel booking site.

I rang this place up and got 2 extra nights they were happy with cash.

The first place was 30$ more per night direct.
So booked it though bookings place.

Good to know the prices.

Good luck bonking .

You can pay in advance on booking.com by using paypal.

You can but hotels still need a card for the incidentals.

Some from reading elsewhere seem to be funny on debit cards or outright refuse them even though functionality they work the same way.

I suspect it's more just me over analysing things

Can nurse practitioners give referrals for blood tests ?

don't know if it's helpful, but you can tack on more tests to an existing pathology request so long as you know the codes

I've bypassed my GP as of now. Found a good site online. Works out cheaper than paying for the GP appointment even after medicare, will take results in if abnormal.
