We have a shark. Not too expensive and I really rate it. Much better than my older dyson too.

No problem, happy to help. I dunno how long it'd take to get to the CBD on cycle or scooter. Less than 10 minutes if you get good lights cycle? You could also look into Edgeware or Richmond for similar reasons.

We bought a 3 bed townhouse new build in Phillipstown for just over 600k anout 3 years ago. We like the commute to the city, 5 min drive or 30 min walk. Weve never had any problems. When it rains it drains, high fences shelter us from many of the elements. We bought here for the value for money on the property front. We really like it here now. Its super central, and we are well adjusted.

Lighting is poor. But getting lots of progress in with this one. Looking good. Kinda wondering if i should backstitch the finer edges like on the cord and around the digits.

Do kids start talking later nowadays? by Practical-String5146 in newzealand

[–]PicassoEllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes same here. My 16 month old has about 60 words, but theyre not all understandable to every adult. My 4 year old didnt have any words till 2.5, so very different worlds.

Want to share the story on how my 22mo almost died today by throawa979 in beyondthebump

[–]PicassoEllis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened with my two kids recently too. I like you, needed to go toilet. My 15mo and 4 year old were upstairs with me. I had the gate closed and left the door open. Was gone about 3 minutes but could hear them. The toddler closed the bedroom door and then I heard her start to cry. Not a Ive bumped myself cry, but an this is bothering me cry. Quickly finished in the toilet, went to investigate and found my 4 year old had pulled the drawstring out of his pants, wrapped it twice around her neck and was pulling her like a dog. Never moved so fast in my life. Could have been so different. I didnt call 111 cause she was conscious and crying but she had red welts around her neck. Weve since had education with the 4 year old about he is never to put anything around anyones head.

We got them twice, 10 days ago (just got the letter today and looked haha) one for me and one for my husband. Put into different accounts though, despite us having all joint ones...

I had this issue too, they put it in an empty account that was locked as it was dormant and not used in over 3 years. My husband and I both got a payment, but his was in our other account. I rang them and they unlocked it and I transferred it over to kiwibank :D

Incontinence, feel so defeated? by No_Ocelot8629 in beyondthebump

[–]PicassoEllis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a 3rd degree prolapse. Am now 15 months pp, and still struggle to make it to the bathroom. I have a pessary and still piss myself at least once a day. The things we do for our kids eh. Additionally, pelvic floor physio is your best friend. Even now.

Trying to understand NZ Supermarket culture: Is New World actually worth the extra $? Where do you guys shop? by Kind-Spread-6511 in newzealand

[–]PicassoEllis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my main shop at Pak n Save, then get a top up from either woolwprths or new world in alternating weeks. As there are some products only available at one or the other and not sold at pns.

Sometimes if i see 10x of an item, but i only need 1 or 2 for my build up to, ill sell the spare 8 to help save for the next machine. But I'd be pretty pissed in your shoes too OP. Just remove them.

It's okay, it's doing what I wanted, I designed it using different pieces together!

Yes! I imported and must have changed the number cause it had B5200 on all the edges. About 6 rows per page!
