Stopping breathing when you are pulling the zzzzz's will cut down on your condensation problem as will letting the kids sleep in the garden overnight as a "treat"

Top Kiwi Tip
Save on those annoying Warrant of Fitness costs, by not taking your car for one at all.
Then, you can totally remove your exhaust from the vehicle, thereby preventing it rusting, whilst giving your neighbours the impression you own a formula one car.

Shoppers: Take one grape to the till. It won't register on the low-tech, insensitive scales so you will get it for free. Repeat this procedure 100 times or so and you have yourself a free bunch of grapes.
Don't waste money on expensive iPods. Think of your favourite tune and hum it. If you want to change tracks, simply think of another song you like and hum that instead.
Domestos is an ideal substitute for vodka and far less pricey. It will give any cocktail a bit of "oomph."

changing your name to match your existing plate. Ms CZX 426, Auckland.
