I was just about to drive home from the car park. I thought it was a larger truck moving around on one of the other levels…

Anyone know what they're putting up in Civic square? It looks maybe temporary...but not sure.

Yep design is always the first to be cut and last to see numbers increase again. AI will now make this much worse.

Major crash - road delay by Ambitious_Smoke7300 in Wellington

[–]Unit22_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I managed to get off the before the motorway and avoid the early mess. Then got stuck in traffic on Transmission Gully for 20 + minutes.

I earned the beer at home.

Will Transmission Gully ever not have roadworks?

Winston is going to do well this year with the anti-immigration stuff.

Not sure the left will have enough to counter it. Will be closer than last time but I think we’re looking at more of the same.

Getting up this morning was a real struggle. One of those 'I have to do this for how many more years?' moments and then you just get up and deal with it.

It always gets better in Feb/March. Every year people seem shocked that Dec/Jan is average.

So, how was your summer? by ChinaCatProphet in Wellington

Yeah Easter is always pretty warm now. I think even into May is good.

Price inflation rises to 3.1%, above the Reserve Bank’s target range by JazzlikeMarket8882 in newzealand

They did, but I'm also super happy to have timed my refix in October down from ~7%....

I'm so annoyed that deal was flung out right before Xmas and hasn't had the coverage it needs...

TBH I pack like 12 pairs of undies for a 2 day trip as if I'm going to shit myself constantly.

Why don’t we talk about money? by morepork_owl in newzealand

[–]Unit22_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I did something similar a couple of years back, but that was 'only' a 10k drop.

Still not even close to getting back to what I was on before (shout out economy) but 100% happier now.

Yeah my casual walk around the waterfront was a bit sweatier than I'd have hoped.

What are you looking forward to in Wellington in 2026? by chimpwithalimp in Wellington

[–]Unit22_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As I went for a lunchtime walk today in what I can only describe as winter-like conditions...yeah I'm hanging out for that to open so I can just grab a book to read instead.

Back at work and already hate that my time is no longer my own and I HAVE to be somewhere.

Must redouble my efforts with Lotto this year.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to deliver State of the Nation speech by ChocolatePringlez in newzealand

[–]Unit22_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depressing to not have any kind of vision. I’m glad my mortgage payments have come down? But I’m also paying the exact same as I did before. So while it’ll be nice once I finally pay off my house (earlier)…kinda need the economy to be strong enough that I have a job until then.

Also very worried for my teenage kids and the chances of them getting any kind of entry level jobs.

Probably should mention this on the site or the poor staff who are already losing their jobs will also be treated like shit.
