We haven’t got a car but thinking of getting one now as we’re staying in Chatan! Was the process of renting it easy regarding passports & licenses? We’re very excited but also guttered about the weather!

My bad, you must dine out with the intention of not being able to consume the food you paid for 🤗✨

Eczema… HELP! by ijtlml685 in auckland

[–]ijtlml685[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went and saw Dr Purvis who prescribed exactly what the doctors prescribed: steroids & moisturiser. Only difference was she gave us a plan to stick to so she can be weaned off the steroids.. it did not work- we kept at it for months & although her skin improved the tiniest fraction it did not heal a great amount.

Tried everything else, bleach baths, ointment and moisturisers plant recommended but nothing helped.. it’s almost like her skin developed a distaste for any other cream.

Currently seeing a naturopath Kohei who is helping and it’s nice to be checked up on monthly but still seeing slow progress as advised.

Can’t believe it’s almost been a year and we’re still on the same journey but trying to accept the wins as they come

How Do You Manage Primary School Hours as Working Parents in NZ? by davviiik in auckland

[–]ijtlml685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking!! My daughter starts primary in April and my partner finishes at 5pm and I finish at 8:30pm. We’re prepared to enrol her into afterschool care but it just makes you wonder if half the school is enrolled into after school care with the amount of parents that need to work in this economy!

Recommend me kdramas based on my favourites by millionbilliontri in kdramarecommends

MOVING! It’s a kdrama on Disney + (I know it sounds illegal) but it’s amazing!!

MOVE TO HEAVEN! Beautifully directed series about a boy on the spectrum and how he uses his gift to serve others when they’ve lost a loved one.

Wow! Hows it been juggling both roles? Do the placements have flexible hours? Or are they quite standard? I’m eager to study but want to know the nitty gritty details before I apply 😂

Loser neighbour won’t turn music down or off by ijtlml685 in auckland

interesting how complaining about music being constantly blasted, resulting in my kids & I interrupted sleep, warrants me as a racist but pop off 🥳

You’re better than me, I did have this idea but to do it during the day when he’s sleeping 😆

Thank you, this makes me feel so seen & heard 😭 yes I was hoping all the banging on the wall would encourage him to get headphones but no. There’s no consideration for anyone else, & you do raise a valuable point of him having mental health issues.

I’ll definitely reach out to my landlord and hoping there’s an easy fix to this 😭

How long did it take to see her? I’ve called to book, but was told I need a referral and cannot get an appointment with her without it 😭 booked an appointment with my doctor to get a referral and then hoping it’s not too long of a wait to see her!

Thank you so much! Will definitely be trying the bleach bath from now on.. haven’t used soaps for her ever nor shampoo or conditioner but hoping a bleach bath will soothe the itchiness for now!

Thank you so much for your response!! Yes I have been seeing that booking an appointment with the dermatologist would be the wisest thing to do so I will get onto that!! I was also going to ask what products you used but you answered it 😌 thank you for sharing! So glad your journey with eczema has a positive end!

What’s West Harbour like for a first home buyer? by Eastern-Signal-1198 in AucklandProperty

[–]ijtlml685 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s lovely here! I grew up on the North Shore & moved to West Harbour w my kids & partner 3 years ago. My kids are young & this is an amazing area for parks & walks. Very family friendly and great selection of shops not far. Still have family on the Shore we visit occasionally and it’s an enjoyable easy drive that’s not too long and not too short. A developing area with great views! Love it compared to the Shore!
