  • Just a bit of context before I start, I sold off my Pixel 9 Pro XL 256GB (which was painful but necessary thing to do) along with a few other pieces to pay off in full my iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB I had on one of those interest free purchase plans through One NZ.…

  • Working from home things were pretty good – feedback from work being positive so I’m happy with how things are progressing. We had our bonuses handed out last pay so I put that towards wiping out my overdraft that I’ve had since I was at university and if things keep going the way they are…

  • I went down to the supermarket today to do some grocery shopping which will cover me for the next fortnight. I bought a some lamb rumps that I cooked up and created a tasty lamb sandwich for dinner, I also bought some chicken and fish from the frozen section – I like to keep some…

  • End of another week and I’m feeling good with how my weight loss is progressing – I tried on a pair of pants that I didn’t think could fit me but I pulled them up, buttoned the fly and waist with a perfect fit. From the outside it may not seem much but I like…

  • Well, it appears that the right wing in the United States are bending over backwards to defend getting rid of the department of educate by claiming that the functions of that functions would be divided amounts amount other departments for example the civil rights division would become part of the DOJ, student loans being taken…

  • I’m heading into the office tomorrow – assuming that Metlink don’t do something foolish like replace trains with buses, I’ll be heading in and enjoying the free coffee that is available with the added benefit being that I gets me out of the house or otherwise I’ll end up feeling as though I’m becoming a…
