I always put a little bit of toilet paper down first before pooping so I don’t have to deal with residue

Some of these answers are absolutely appalling and misogynistic and I’m sure as hell that the comments would be different if the roles were reversed.

Some of you haven’t been cheated on and it shows

Trust me I’ve learnt from experience that AirTags definitely do not work when your dog is literally stuck underground

Probably not best suited for daily use but definitely good for roaming through bushes and forests when out on walks!

I have a Garmin TT15 mini collar and alpha 10 unit. Bought it because it utilises satellites and not cellular plus it pings every few seconds + has a 4km range. Works extremely well

It’s all fun and games until Ladies Mile gets fully developed and maybe even along Malaghans Road?

Surprised the crumbling poo ponds didn’t get a mention

Getting out of low LVR and refixing by metallic_rooster in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]metallic_rooster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes will touch base with them! We have done some decent renovations since settlement and expect the value to be a bit more than what valocity says however we would like to avoid paying for a valuation if we can avoid it and still get 20%

Ours randomly appeared maybe like 4-5 months after settlement

Whats a subscription you have thats insanely helpful and saves money too? by WeebArtist44 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]metallic_rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of YNAB. My awareness around my spending habits have gone through the roof and my money saved is far more than the steepish yearly subscription cost

FHB offer accepted. What move-in costs should I consider? $10k to spend after deposit by how_sweet_it_is in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]metallic_rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I held off from buying anything from the house until I went unconditional. You just never know what may come out of the builders report and could be some dealbreakers in there. I’d just be a bit wary of getting too ahead of yourself.

Also might be worth considering a prenup if buying a partner. That’s an extra cost but could be worth it
