2 baby ducks? :lol:

bring it on boyo! the 5 beer funnel? or a 6? most people are disgusted by my funnel abilities, lol thats coming from borderline alcoholics...

i worry when $10 text goes out the window, i mean, i seldom use over 500, but even 500 for 10 bux is better than $12, (XT network) cos you have to buy a $20 topup anyway.... and 1 the next month... i dont want to be on a contracted plan, pre-pay is so much easier. if any network brings out a $10 or less text plan for 500+ texts, theyl get me, and most young new zealanders on their side...

me on a very good day... FUNNEL KING :lol:

raining.... again.... :roll:

season

wow, well if it makes you feel better, i did 1 worse i flooded my partners mothers lounge when i was filling up my tank... i thought i turned it off, but i turned it on harder(it was a reverse thread :oops: ) , then went out.... couple hours later i get teh most ranting phonecall of my life... $450 later after the flood control guys came through... :evil: :evil: just think mate, at least you had the spare tank, otherwise coulda been alot worse. good luck with the cleanup

im waiting till they bring out thier deals.... atm you get 333 txts for 20 bux input (incl your magic topup) abviously les if your calling too... so, that means that really, without a deal, telecom and vodaphone still have the better deal (pre-pay speaking) with 1000 any network txt for 10 bux, BUT agreed they have good rates for phone calls etc. suppose its what you use your phone for that will decide your company. im going to sit back and wait to see what else they come up with, and aparently theres another new company coming out! yay for competition and unbundling of the networks! hip - hip!

+1 :lol:

more pasta sauce mate

mor ice less worms might be the trick... lol

so i just tried one of the frozen cubes... =fail... they sink too fast for some reason, and my fish are too dumb to go down and grab them off the bottom.. also my cube trays have holes, so now ive got half cubes and a few stuck to the bottom of the container... might have to just get rid of some to Mark and try portion control their eating... lol like most things, good in theory, poor in practice....

yussss!!! :lol:

well i just extracted 6 cubes worth ill bring some down to ya mark

can they be frozen? i ask cos my 2lt ice cream container is over-run, and they breeding faster than im feeding! if i can freeze them then i can maybe give them to people to use for their breeders. im scooping out maybe 2 bloodworm cube size lots twice a day! half goes to the fish, other half i want to freeze. anyone want some? lol

working!!! AG! i would love to come have a nosey! o well...

the bathroom or the short and curlys??

polka dot boxfish in animal antics over here [/shameless plug] :lol:

you can ask the landlord to ask the tennants on your behalf, though. (should have siad it that way the first time) and while that is true that power usage will be abit diff, it can still give a ball-park figure. shop around for power companies too oh, and if you end up living withthe landlord, you can legally be evicted in 24hours, but, it makes it bloody handy to get things fixed! one of my better flats was like this.

oh and locks on your doors are a must if you are living with other people.. no matter how honest you think someone is, theyll do you in right when you least expect it... lol another good idea is to go and sit outside a place your looking at and listen, esp a sat nite, and on a monday day. see what the traffic, noise, etc is like i live in an industrial area, so i was expecting most noise during the day, but come nightime, its quiet as, no close neighbors, so can blast the music if i feel the need, which i often do try and survive the first month or two on your own if you getting your own place and thinking bout getting a flattie in, just so that you can get settled and also so you can give a definitive cost of living (ie 96/week incl power, water, phone and net, buy own food) over-charge slightly even, but match it, into a seperate acc, and pay all your bills from it, so that there is no confusion over where the money is going. anything left over at the end of the month can go towards cleaning goods or toilet paper etc, or if there is enough a box of beers for the flat. have regular meetings to discuss whats going on, make communal areas a haven, esp kitchen (no-one wants food poisoning) ive taken to having only enough plates and cutlery for everyone to have 1 plate, 1 bowl, 2knives, 1spoon, 1fork etc etc when flaties havent cleaned up after themselves. and hidden the rest away. not a popularity contest! lol basically try and set out things the way you want them from the start, decide on your expenses, and what things you need to pay off. make things as simple as possible by putting together 1 cost to a flatmate if you get one. budgetting is key! make sure you know what your getting into, and your rights. youll be fine, and most of all ENJOY IT! :bounce: :bounce: :lol:

set out to budget right from the start, expect first power bill to be almost rediculous (usually it will include part of the month you moved in and a month after) you wont need as much food as you think, especially since there will be no-one jacking your food. keep in touch with your landlord, they appreciate this more than you know. +if your telling them whats happening, they are less likely to want to visit to check... make sure that when you do the walkthrough to check for defects with the landlord that you get EVERYTHING written down, this makes it easier when you move out too. and your not going to get stung for the carpet burn that was there since you moved in... if there is something broken, ask the landlord if they plan to fix it and WHEN! then hold them to it. check water pressure in the taps and shower before you decide on a place, as this will frustrate you to no end if your not satisfied ask if you can get in contact with the last tenants to check how much the power bill is expected to be, water, etc define if the upkeep of the garden/property will be up to you or the landlord and finnaly, if you get a 2 or 3 bedroom place, ask the landlord if you can sub-let rooms, and have this on the tenancy agreement. cos if you decide to get someone in, the landlord will want to know about it, and if the tenancy says 2 people only your in breach... just what i learnt recently since my partner and I got our own place.

Dogs (on the north shore )
