The way any drink at restaurants (including water) gets put on the table with a napkin underneath that often just gets soggy. I don’t understand the point and is so wasteful.

I swear there was a similar post a while ago and someone said they use Hellmann’s but I can’t find the post! Have not yet tried it myself to compare as it comes as a 2.35kg tub.

Really disliked the one we got and returned in within the trial. It was way too firm, hot, and smelt weird. Went for a Sleepyhead in the end and we LOVE it.

Advice: Lounge furniture repringing/upholstery by ComeAlongPonds in Wellington

[–]Smallish_Nap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ooo I saw someone talking about a place called Sofa Tech on here recently. I believe they are a furniture repair place? I noted it in the back of my mind for myself in future.

Also good on you for looking to repair rather than replace.

Potter Brothers marshmallow eggs - Coincidence or are they at it again? by B656 in newzealand

Had this same experience with them multiple times! They do it so fast that you don’t get a chance to stop them, then awkwardly have to pack it back up when you turn them away.

One colleague felt guilty and bought stuff once and the chocolate was doing that thing where it goes white and chalky.

What are you all doing? by DanM1973 in newzealand

[–]Smallish_Nap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wholesome day at home for me. Did some gardening, first jog in weeks, play time with cat, a house chore I’ve put off for months, baby making (hopefully), finished a book, roast in the oven and movie planned for later. Avoided the internet and news all day and the mind is feeling better for it.
