Now that I'm moving out, my landlord has installed a heatpump, is finishing the deck after four years of it being borked, and I came home today and he has prepped the front door for painting. Thank God this is my last ever rental.

Guess who has two thumbs and has gone conditional on her first home 👍👍 I did it all on my own, too. It only took until my 40s, living in a sortof unfit house for a decade, not going overseas for 15 years, having a well-paid job, using all my Kiwisaver, and not having kids.

I worked at Newshub / 3 News for years and have many friends currently at tv3 and tvnz, as well as mates who have worked on Shortland Street. There is nothing to be gained by disparaging Shorty. You can be validly concerned for all media loss.

I've told this story before, but when my paternal grandmother passed, her daughters fought for DAYS over who would get her precious ever-guarded recipe book, finally agreed they would share it, opened it to copy down the recipes and found it had only 1 entry which said "Book I pretend has recipes"

yo, here's a survey about attitudes towards money in NZ. there's $1000 up for grabs and less than 1000 people have done it, so... Beyond demographic and a couple of gated questions you only have to answer as much as you feel comfortable. www.surveymonkey.com/r/WheresMyMo...

Luxon is so incredibly impotent against his coalition partners, particularly Peters, it would be low-key impressive if it weren't so terrifying.

I asked an agent today and she said "oh, ya know, people who are looking at high 600s might also like something in the 700s" like yes we do like but we can't afford! But I guess it looks good on their vendor report, like, another warm body through the door!

Here are Christoper Luxon's responses, just to save journalists a bit of time:
* He hasn't heard those comments by Winston Peters
* There will be a range of opinions across his coalition partners
* What Peters means is that the Treaty is a divisive subject
* Look what I would say to you is

For example, this property the agent has said $740k+ on, yet it is listed as under $700k. Yes, this the same people selling the berm as parking.
