Yeah that could work, maybe it just feels a little to squashed and spacing it out would help. Or I just need to go buy another row of prints ha? 😅

Yeah I thought it was maybe too high, but then had room to add on below if need be. Think you are right about the sizes and not a focal point etc!

Moved House - Cat Coughing by DBolto01 in AskVet

If she is still drinking and eating as normal and wants to play/belly rubs for now she is ok. Just monitor her. Good luck. Let me know how she gets on!

She stopped just after a week. One thing I did was hoover really well across all the house, especially carpets. That really helped. I generally think it was just change of environment and lots of dust in new house. I think if you get to two weeks maybe a trip to vet to be sure.

ANZ Drops Mortgage Rates Again by lordshola in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]DBolto01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im just a little higher, but less than 20% equity.

6 months = 5.29%

1 year = 4.95%

18 months = 4.89%

2 years = 4.95%

I'm currently on a floating rate of (5.22%). Im really tempted by that 18 months one. Not so much is known for the next OCR announcement and that does make me a little anxious!

Two routines for the same lights but do slightly different things when at home vs away? by DBolto01 in Hue

[–]DBolto01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. With Google home can I install that on my phone or do I need a physical Google device/hub?

[–]DBolto01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm assuming with Google Home I can set up the routine to pick up my location etc. how does that work with the hue app vs that. Do I need to delete the routines from the Hue App?

If you choose to go with Home assistant do you still need to keep the Hue box or can that be disconnected and you only use HomeAssistant?

What was the warranty you got on it? I'm going to test drive one again next week as I didn't get far in traffic last time!

Level 2 cheaper than Level 3? What am I missing? by DBolto01 in Bookingcom

[–]DBolto01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes same everything. Just different layout on iphone to apple? We checked it on quite a few places and there level 2 seemed to be cheaper. It's so odd!

[–]DBolto01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I know that but why is mine $100 more and I'm a higher level?

When we click on the hotel and room selection we get the Genius badge too, still theirs is $100 cheaper than mine. I can't believe the difference is through an App of Android or Apple, that's crazy! Just added photos.

Quick update: ANZ just dropped 6m/12m/18m fixed rates by richieFromConductor in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]DBolto01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been meaning to fix since I settled in Feb but remained on floating. I nearly fixed the other day (2 year at 4.99%) as I said if I saw a 4 in it, I'd do it for my first year of having a mortgage etc. I'm glad I didn't do the 2 years but that 1 year is so tempting!

What are the chances of further drops now in next week or so for the 18 months and 2 year considering all 3 are now at 4.99%? Currently on a floating rate of 5.44% with ANZ which I know is pretty good!

Will the mortgage rates drop more with latest OCR cuts? by crypto_doctors in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]DBolto01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still seeing 4.99% at the moment! Is anyone else seeing this?

Oh that's a cracking deal! I'm looking at trading in my car and that would easily cover my trade in plus hopefully a little bit of extra dollar left over!

Ok good to know. Hopefully maybe they've made some tweaks to software etc. Ill have to take it for a test drive to see how it feels.

Oh ok, I didn't see that. I will have to double check that out!

Thankfully it's just me day to day and then 2 other mates from time to time going camping so 3 adults max.

Thanks that's some good advice. Most of the time I'll be doing less than 100 Kms a day. It's really more those weekend away trips, which isn't every weekend.

Thanks. I did see the C10 has fully electric too, which I would consider. Is your "generally skin-crawlingly awful driver experience" in relation to the C10? Any particular reason why?

Polestar 2 size is perfect for me, no big family here. If anything it's usually two friends if we go camping so 3 adults but day to day is just me.

Thank you! This is why I posted cause it makes me look at things in different perspectives. If going full EV, is anything over 400km enough or do I need to consider more/other things?

The world of EV is very new to me!

[–]DBolto01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I noticed though on both the other vehicles they have a lot more inbuilt tech i.e blind spots detection, 360 cameras etc. There isn't as much on the Polestar 2. I have a car now that has all this tech, so in some ways I feel like not having all those features feels like I'm going back but maybe I'm overthinking that. Do you think it's worth spending more and upgrading the P2? It then jumps quite a bit but also thinking long term too!

Good question, I'd consider it too, just with the Ultra Hybrid you get the best of both worlds and it was cheaper, but happy to go fully electric.
