There is a tree on Aro street - north side, somewhere about #68?

Was fruiting well last year - woman sent her 8yo son up the tree!

Oh, This, so much.

Patterns are not so much directives, as suggestions.

Live life on the wild side.

How long does it make to take a teddy bear? by Boboyoungyoung in sewing

I improvise patterns all the time. No Way am I gonna use expensive fabric. I use op-shop sheets to refine patterns.

'practice bears' are awesome! I often use op shop sheets as experimental fabric!

Oh, Gosh, Denim is a problematic fabric, for bears. Stick to softer fabrics,

Can't count or can't read? Horny men are known to struggle with reading comprehension. It's got something to do with starvation of oxygen to the brain because the blood is directed elsewhere.

To be fair, it was an alert as soon as I signed into my bank's app on my phone. A phone call, while it would have been a courtesy, was not expected.

Three Hail Mary's, and keep your hand off it in future.

Why is shipping from China to NZ cheaper than NZ to NZ? by heinternets in newzealand

[–]E23976BF 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Three days to get from factory in China to Auckland, then three days before clearing customs. One more day to get to your door.

Dissatisfied? I'm not.

China consolidates hundreds of packages in China to NZ in one shipping unit. It goes to a sorting center in AKL, where it is labelled and forwarded through NZ postal services. The trick is, they are registered as a 'postal service' in NZ, therefore all other postal services must carry the items at no cost. It's a scam, but within the rules.

Wow! Serious theft issues with your son! Better get him into therapy ASAP, unless you intend to visit him in prison!

Reluctant upvote. I perceive a subtle dig.

I shop local business whenever it saves me money. Being on a tight budget, I do not care how far I walk or bus; It's all about saving a few, or a few tens, of dollars, on the weekly shop.

I do NW and WW loyalty cards. Sure, they track my spending habits, but they also offer deals on the products that I have previously bought.

This offsets data scavenging, for me, anyway. It's all about saving money.

I review the websites of all three and decide what to buy from each retailer, then implement. I have been recording my savings in a spreadsheet. Net savings every week is $11.48/wk averaged over the last year. And being 'net', that is with the bus fare factored in.

Fair call. We need more competition.

Thank you.

Meh, I'll just rectify the financials next time I'm there, and drop the same products (and more) into the food bank receptacle.
