We ended up purchasing a new car (I know it doesn’t make the best financial sense, but oh well) and the dealers advised it will be ready for pickup early next week (it’s just come off the ship), and they’re asking for payment by tomorrow, which they are obviously doing so that they can get this sale in for the month.

Given that it’s a brand new car (with all the warranties etc) and that it’s due in a few business days, and that they are a very large dealership (and they’ve been decent to deal with so I wouldn’t be against helping them to get the sale in this month), is there any reason I shouldn’t? - never purchased a new car before.

We’ve got a couple of hue lights inside the house and we’re always wanting to expand the collection but they’re so bloody expensive.

Seems like there’s a few different options that I’ve seen online that’ll work with Hue and Zigbee, but haven’t done enough research to know what’s best.

Yeah we’ve cut down on the number of different types we’ve planted. Gone for the ones we actually like and the good growers from last year.

We weren’t gonna do tomatoes this year either, but then decided to give the grafted ones a go. Fingers crossed 🤞

It’s great to have the NBA on again

We planted a bunch of lettuce, some chilli’s, eggplants, cherry tomatoes, zucchinis and a few different herbs.

Oh nice. Sounds like you guys are growing quite a bit of food!

Planted the vege garden over the weekend. Took in some learnings from last year, so here’s hoping to a good harvest this year :)

Haha. I did this a couple of times recently, but there’s just a few that seem to be very sturdy and a really nice size that I can’t seem to pull the trigger on

Every time I watch a car review online and they start talking about child seats, they were talking to you! Hahaha

Haha the three side by side by side car seats sounds like a bit of a handful 😳

Sort of but not really. If we’d go second hand, ideally I’d like something like a hybrid corolla, but if we were to get a new car probably a mid sized suv hybrid.

If we get a second hand car, it’s most likely gonna be a stop gap (and it’ll replace my car in a few years time, and we’ll get another larger car)

Oh yeah 100%. Won’t even be looking at private listings.

Needing to buy another car, and mulling over getting a 2nd hand one vs a new one.

I know a new one doesn’t make financial sense, and I’ve never done it… But for some reason I just don’t want to go through the rigamarole of trying to buy a decent non-lemon 2nd hand one.

Really pelting it down in Auckland right now 🙃

I’ve always been meaning to make one of these, but always wondered how long it would take to actually use.

How long did that piece in the photo take to get flat?

My fear of this happening (which I thought was irrational) has now been validated as being real.

I used to live in an apartment that had a swimming pool built on top of some commercial units, and every time I’d swim, I had a fear of falling through.

Apparently there’s some rumours going around that they were doing some maintenance work on the pole when it happened. Don’t know how true it is though.
