You didn't see him when he was born! He was 5 weeks early and pretty furry actually!! :lol:

I haven't been on here for a few weeks. This is what I have been up to... His name is Luca and he was born on the 11th of August

My doves don't like the Sharpes mix They like Topflite. $45 for a 25kg at Wainui Pets or $105 at Animates .

My son (5 years old) found this piece of driftwood for his tank on Waikanae Beach a few weeks ago. We set up his tank and I think the driftwood looked wicked so wanted to share...

I will really miss it, they often have really interesting fish that they don't have in other stores. And they are always really friendly and helpful. And we always make the treck from Wellington to Wainuiomata to buy large bags of dove seed which we can't seem to get anywhere else.

I know I should like it. Sigh. Did you check out the flying penguins?

I have a DVD hard drive recorder so when I watch TV I mostly just fast forward through the ads cos I am watching something I might have started recording half an hour earlier so when I saw this topic I couldn't think of any ads at all! But now reading through the topic I can think of them, aargh. Definitely the Cadbury ad with the eyebrows would top my most hated list at the moment, but that might have more to do with the fact that I hate the new Cadbury taste and smaller packets and am feeling rather anti-Cadbury at the moment! And those Sensodyne ads, OMG they are dreadful!!! Love the 'get a perm' ones though! These are some of my all time favs, especially the first one... and as for ads on radio, unbearable, so I only listen to RNZ

Far out, I know it is speeding but I had no idea they'd give you a ticket for 3kph over the limit. There is a discrepancy of 4 kph between my speedo and my GPS!

We have had a system installed a month ago. It is the Cleanaire system from Negawatt. My husband did a lot of very tedious research and decided that this was the best one. It doesn't use air from your roof cavity, but rather fresh air from outside. It takes in fresh air into a heat exchange box in you ceiling cavity, and takes exhaust heated air from the living room and bathroom, exchanges the heat in the heat exchanger, and then pumps the slightly warmed fresh air into the bedrooms and living room. It is designed for a house up to 300sqm. We have a flued gas fireplace in our living room and electric radiators under the windows in the bedrooms. From the moment we had the system installed we no longer have any condensation on our windows or walls (we had it bad too - in the mornings we would have a pool of water on some window sills so big it would start dripping onto the carpet), the house smells fresher, and the humidity is much lower (our baby monitor displays humidity), and we have our heaters on a lower temperature now. One of the reasons we wanted a fresh air system, apart from the fact that many of the companies who sell this sort of system are moving towards fresh air systems (DVS have one too now but it was too large for our ceiling cavity, and I think Moisture Master might have one too), is that there is a lot of literature about the crud that you have up in your ceiling - fibres from pink batts, mouse urine, dead spiders, etc etc and that the filters don't necessarily filter everything. Systems that take air from your roof space are also illegal in many countries because of fire regulations. And don't be fooled by the initials 'HRV'. Just because the company is called HRV, which I suppose is meant to be 'Heat Recovery Ventilation' they don't sell a heat recovery system.

Yes and saves you the emotional cost of knowing you have ruined someone's life when you crash into them and kill them because you are speeding. Do you really need to get somewhere so fast it is worth it to risk your own and other people's lives? Wow you must be important.

Caryl is that the place just out of Edinburgh? I have an almost identical photo of my hand :bounce:

I have been 'given' (actually more like had it dumped on me) a large green severum. I can't put him/her in my community tank, having just added 12 little (tasty) neon tetras to it. So it is in my African cichlid setup. There has been no agression or foul play so far. Apart from being 'against the rules' what are the obvious problems with this?

Where did you get yours from Billaney?

EVERYONE has boys. I can't believe there are any girls born these days. All of my friends apart from one, have one or two boys and no girls. I have a 4 year old boy. I was told after my 20 week scan that I was having a girl and I bought a bunch of dresses (which I have since sold on Trade Me) even though I knew deep down it was a boy, cos no one has girls.

Yeah I was about the to say the same! The world can do without one less white-tailed spider!

It's only £11.04 on Amazon.co.uk which is about $30.00 (plus shipping which is usually way cheaper from the UK than the US). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Makeup-Ultimate ... 1845432665

Thanks Caryl! Really great suggestions

Oh gosh we didn't actually PAY that much! We got it through a friend, but it was a one off. Who pays $900 for two nights accommodation??!!!!

hahahahahahaha next time... it was $450 a night. There won't be a next time!

Great! On all counts!

Where did you fly between?
