Yes, maybe you're right. My husband would agree that I am a rarity!:rofl:

That's exactly what we do in the UK. :confused:

Everyone I know does it this way, once kids are on the scene. For example, on Saturday we're meeting friends for football on 'the green' followed...

THAT IS IT! Thank you so much. :)

No, but I will.

I was hoping to find out whether anyone had done something similar and if so, what. Usually someone would come up with something I hadn't thought of myself; like the Paypal...

Re: NZ - kids' heaven or kids' hell?

Personally, I think that's one of those sweeping generalisations about the UK that I completely don't understand. It's all about mind set and parenting. Influenced by upbringing perhaps.

Re: The state of the GBP

Sainsburys!:D The lady who served me did tell me at the time that the markets were doing funny things that day. There had been a big movement in the Aus & NZD overnight apparently.

Re: The state of the GBP

It was at $2.7 when I changed some Sterling on Wednesday. That was before yesterday's base rate cut so no idea what's happened since then, but that is a fairly good rate historically IMO. We got just...

Re: Justice for Nia?

In most marriages where the family lives in a private owned residence, they are co-owned and jointly paid for. Thus the mere exaggeration of "the one that you paid for" really riles me. Maybe I have...

Re: Pound's at it again

It'll get there. Be (stay) positive!:)

If I'm not mistaken, NZ has officially been in a recession for longer than the UK's economic woes.

Re: The Coromandel or the Bay of Islands

Most definitely. 2-4 days in each would be plenty. They're 'small' places! My personal preference is the Coromandel because it's so beautiful, but you can see opinion is divided. And everyone has...

I have also heard that the low levels of Zinc in the soil also contributes to NZ's very high rates of depression and suicide. :(
