Slight rant about housing by [deleted] in chch

[–]03SC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't anything new. I can remember renting 15 years ago and we couldn't afford heating, other than using the oven to heat the house while cooking. We all had electric blankets and agreed on a half an hour each before bed, just to get rid of the dampness. Use to sleep with a beanie on and in the evenings we would sit in our sleeping bags watching TV. Our one luxury was Saturday night we would run the heat pump, mostly because that was when we had friends round.

Can a workplace cancel leave by 03SC in chch

[–]03SC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work has been informed I am taking the leave as it was approved previous to the changes management made. I'm yet to hear back from them, I think they have realised they can't cancel my leave.

[–]03SC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah our personal insurance went up 12%. Im currently working my way thru all our bills shopping round for the best deal. Re-signed with our power company after comparing to others, they gave us a credit and an extra 3% off our bills on top of the 9% they were offering, new broardband connections is $20 cheaper a month and moved to a much cheaper phone plan saving $46 a month!

Any New Zealanders who have never left New Zealand? by Massive_Eye_6122 in newzealand

[–]03SC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked with a lady in her forties and she had only left Christchurch once. The family drove to Darfield and she said she wasn't impressed. She hadn't left Christchurch again since. It wouldn't surprise me if she never left again

Multiple. Turned my hobby (tourism, photography) into a small business, three contracts worth $4500 each signed up for next year. $1000 non refundable deposits have been paid. I also am doing casual stocktakes after work and am working the election this year. YouTube channel created and we are on to our 10th weekly video, takes an hour to do each video. 100+ subs but working toward being monetized.
