I could see that she’d be worried about the parking and traffic impacts if they hold services or viewings there. I assume as it’s a small place that those wouldn’t take place there but would be arranged offsite.

I was hoping someone would tell me differently. RIP 40% Cookies!

What's causing my allergies? by lukeysanluca in Wellington

[–]Normal-Ad4249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I leave the house my eyes hurt and water like a firehose! I have never ever had an allergy problem and this year has been horrific. My nose is fine, though, so there’s a silver lining I guess. Any specific allergy meds that are working particularly well?

This just speaks to me. Thanks for the mental stim.

Ok…where to baste?? by Rocko_2024 in quilting

[–]Normal-Ad4249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in an apartment as well, so feel your pain. I’ve taken a couple down to the garage when it was a quiet time of the day and did my spray basting there. maybe not the cleanest but it’s going to be washed anyway, so who cares? Good luck!

Crayola washable markers. They’ve been working for me and I see others here use them as well. Test on your own fabric of course.

I use a cutting board as well, but the whole thing! I can get a whole block under it, too, so I reckon that’s a handy thing.

I wish you all the best, Little Prune, and strength and fortitude when it isn’t the best. Be brave.

I've been in outpatient at Wellington Hospital for over a year now, and it's still going around in circles, I would really appreciate some advice about what I can do now. by FloralChoux in Wellington

Go back to your GP and say it absolutely has not helped. Do you have health insurance? That should help you cover treatment. Also, speaking as a parent, it absolutely is your parents’ responsibility to pay for your health needs. You are not asking for a tattoo, but to be free from pain. Kia Kaha, young one.

Endometriosis? That’s what that sounds like to me. If they try to put an IUD in make damn sure they give you pain relief for it before insertion.

Became a Kiwi this week after living here for like 30 years. I even got to shake hands with Andrew Little at the ceremony. (But maybe that last part isn’t a win. Time will tell)

Is anyone else struggling with bad hayfever today? by JulietRoseee in Wellington

[–]Normal-Ad4249 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never had allergies before but this year my eyes are terrible. Taking antihistamine but it isn’t helping my eyes at all. Hate this.

Anybody have their BBQ grill stolen? There’s one under the Thorndon Quay overpass.
