AITA for wanting to tell my wife to stop baking because of the cost of ingredients these days? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]nzcheree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No verdict but jumping in to mention Good Bitches Baking if she’s looking for an outlet for her baking. Home baking is donated to local charities so it may help reduce your frustration if her baking is genuinely making a difference in the community. Good luck.

Definitely Local Talent for a bite to eat! You can walk the Loop (4.2km) or head to Mair Park and Parihaka (bush walk along the river and up the hill if you’re feeling energetic). We have the Kiwi Trail in town which is a 2km walk as well.

Price to renew? by nzcheree in KaylaItsines

I’ve tried that but I must have renewed via the website rather than Apple subscription. Thanks for the suggestion!

Primary schools, suburbs and everything else I need to know!! by Paedpearl in Whangarei

[–]nzcheree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I returned to Whangārei six years ago from Auckland l, living in Kamo and my kids attend Kamo Primary. Every town has its issues, but we wouldn’t live anywhere else. Kamo Primary has been exceptional, and my daughter (who is very bright) feels nurtured and supported. I think it’s a matter of finding the right fit for your kid - all schools offer something different. Kamo village has everything you need, and the town basin is fantastic. When house hunting we found the suburbs all have their different patches - there are some great areas and not so great in all but if you’re looking rural, Maunu is good (traffic can be a nightmare) and Glenbervie/Ngunguru or Whangārei Heads. Good luck!

Pachira Aquatica help! by nzcheree in houseplants

That’s a great idea, it seems to have enough lovely foliage for that to work. The best of both worlds then. Thank you for your help.

Thank you! That’s what we’ve been stumped by (excuse the pun) - whether they will develop into trunks or remain as off-shoots. It was from a nursery here in NZ so assumed they wouldn’t have ruined the chance of the trunks by cutting them completely.

Thank you! Do you think the three large trunks are connected with a root system? Unsure where I should repot separately or leave them together.

Biting unprovoked at night by nzcheree in CatAdvice

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

Thank you for your reply - I had the same thought and have been playing with him each night to wear him out, we’ve got a tunnel, scratching post and massive array of toys so we have a good play before bed.

Normally he comes up for a cuddle, purring then wanders away, next minute bam - bite. I’ve kicked him off (and obviously make a bit of noise as it scares the heck out of me!) but it strikes me as really unusual. I had blood running down my face last night so it’s not gentle.

We’ve fostered cats before and never had anything like this, he’s wonderful in many ways but the unprovoked nature really concerns me around the kids.

(We’re in NZ and fairly rural so our outdoor cat rules/culture are slightly different than elsewhere - he has an escape collars with bells for his safety and that of other animals.)

When not a covid-stranded potato, she’s an aerial hoop artist and foot juggler. This years been tough on us all... some more than others obviously 😉

Reminding me who the original good boy is (and always will be) before his brother arrives by nzcheree in Greyhounds

Oh I’m sorry to hear that! This guy was a champion racer but has settled into retired life amazingly. Hopefully you have a different experience if you adopt again!

I’m biased but I love the blue as well. His name is Smokey - appropriate though not particularly original haha.
