Thank you. I was just searching for you on Twitter and thought I’d try here. We saw the new year in in Japan. It was a fab trip. I hope 2025 is happy and peaceful year for you both, too.

I know exactly where you are, this was January, so a lot less snow. I hope Milford Sound was kind to you. My son and his fiance live there.

New Treasury data shows that, as of December, the deficit was $1.2b (31%) less than forecast and net debt was $4.5b less than forecast at only 21.7% of GDP The Govt has inherited healthy books. The only reason for service cuts is to fund the planned $1b/yr tax cuts for landlords. From Clint Smith.

This thread is really alarming. They are basically admitting they are open for corruption. #nzpol

This is ridiculous. Those regulations were brought in to stop the harm and predatory behaviour that was causing so much damage. This govt is out of control.

I think the banana fitted easily into the walk sock - Dad had super skinny calves and the sock didn't stretch much.

I had one of Dad's walk socks, and there was always a banana in it, and sometimes an orange.

HELP NZ peeps! Last year, a fabulous NZ Twitter member was kind enough to share her Xmas cake recipe (with red wine in) and it was amazing ❤️❤️❤️. Then my son 'helpfully' ran a cleaner through my device to free up the memory and suddenly, the screenshot was gone. Does anyone have a copy?

Should have been 15 out of 15, but I second-guessed myself on one of them. That 8:00 a.m. major world religions of the world uni course paid off, even if I thought they were trying to kill me with such an early class.

Let’s be clear. If you’re a Woman set to vote against our interests, by voting #NACT, we ask you to deeply reconsider your decision. Such a choice gravely endangers the many advances we’ve gained. It’s a vote against our safety & further progress. It’s a vote against Women.

Yep, the same one he's had his ACL done on before. He went over his handlebars and landed directly on his patella.

Thank you. I'll get there, but I need to feel sorry for myself for a little while. Unfortunately, this is making my husband feel really guilty, so I'm trying to hide it (really badly).

but also because I desperately need this trip. I am soooo tired. Tired of everything because I'm very, very exhausted and really need a change of scenery. I don't think I can do another term without having had a break.

So, we were supposed to go to Bali in 2020, and 2021. Now we're finally doing it tomorrow. Squeeeee! BUT, probably not. My hubby came off his bike on Saturday morning and can barely walk. He's had it reconstructed before so knows this isn't good. I'm heartbroken - both for him...

What this headline helpfully crystallises is that the misogynistic attacks on Ardern were never simply about her behaviours, skills, values and decisions but, rather, a message to all women to stay out of public life, get back in the kitchen and serve the patriarchy. #nzpol #leadership #misogny

JMM was crap, giving Luxon more airtime and plum questions. Luxon constantly shouted over chippy, who was way to polite. Luxon has a leaders tone to his voice and JMM actually praised Luxon for doing well (like they were still in her media training sessions together). #nzpol

I'll wait for it to happen. Musk's MO seems to be chucking an idea out there, seeing the reaction and then following through or quietly hiding it away if there is a negative reaction.

I hate that you have to put you and your partner's incomes, then the result says, 'your savings'. It never says that that is per couple. Plus, what makes them think all couples have joint accounts?
