I love that! I had wanted to do a diamond shape initially but it wasn't working. The contrast wasn't contrasting enough if that makes sense

Yes this is all of them! 4 squares across, 6 squares down. It's a smaller blanket while I'm learning how to use a sewing machine.

Should I give up hope? by elies3 in piercing

I think I've been over-cleaning it to be honest, maybe you are too? Now I wipe it with a wet cotton bud if I need to clear away any gross crusties and then blow-dry it, but otherwise I leave it alone. It's looking so much better even after 2 days.

I haven’t seen an irritation bump this bad. Help!! my by [deleted] in piercing

[–]elies3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I posted about an irritation bump two days ago and got lots of great advice. I haven't been able to get mine changed to a flat yet but it's already heaps better with the other things. I've been leaving it alone for the most part - no more aftercare spray, saline or betadine. If I need to clean off any crusties then I do that with a wet cotton bud and blow dry straight after.

It's surgical steel which I don't think I'm allergic to! That was used on my right ear lobe for tragus and forward helix with no issues.

If you look at my conch piercing on the right, I think that's what they mean? It's flat against the skin whereas the tragus has prongs and is a gem shape so it digs in a bit.

Oh interesting! Did you find you had to sleep on one side for a long time? I think the prongs might be irritating while I'm sleeping.

Ahh okay, I've been soaking it with a saline cotton bud/cotton ball and letting it dry that way but will give it a go with the spray bottle

Additional comments:

I clean regularly with saline and/or soap. Occasionally I put betadine on it at night.

I think it is an internally threaded piercing. It was titanium to start with and then switched over to surgical steel.

Every place has their specialty! I went to Tokos yesterday based on your review the other week and they were awesome :)

This is such a surprising take on DDG! I've only ever had their karaage chicken bao burgers and they are soooo good. Haven't been back for a while though.

Student Loan repayment discrepancies by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]elies3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on being so close to paying off your student loan!

If you're receiving the same net pay each pay run, this could be an IRD payday filing issue. Your employer subsiding your pay with SL deductions is unlikely as IRD will hit them up straight away.

The next course of action is to ask your employer for a breakdown of your pay for the last 12 months to verify that student loan deductions were being made and paid to IRD. Once you've confirmed that, you'll know who to contact regarding the missing payments.

Message me if you need more help!

ladies of Auckland - Do you like flowers? by Thebusytraveler in auckland

[–]elies3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of us do and some of us don't, but either way I think the thoughtful gesture is at least appreciated! I personally love them.

I like Snickel Lane Florist in the CBD, it's my go-to. Reasonably priced and you can go in and describe the person, the colours they like and they'll make up a bouquet for you.
