How many of us are out there doing it tough right now? Sink a comment and let us know your situation and how your faring.

For our Whanau it's three months until we are forced to kill off the livestock and sell our slice of paradise. Month 5 on the job hunt as the result of dual redundancies from the same employer. Both me and wife were on 100k+

We liquidated every asset we could and our nestegg during COVID to stay afloat and we've never recovered. Just hit 35 and not much faith in NZ anymore.

Genesis reckons the NZ average is 8 minutes. I suppose I could get in and out quicker, but I'm usually in the shower for 15-30 mins. So, can anyone share their shower times?

It was one of the first alien documentaries shown in NZ that was complete bullshit presented as fact and I just remember everyone convinced they were real after watching it.

Anybody have insight into who is making money off the incredibly high fish prices? A few years ago salmon was $30-40/kg now $60! Moki was $15/kg now $30…

I get it you’re irate teachers are having days off swanning around going on long weekend trips. Jokes that’s not what I do on my teacher only days. For those that do not work in education so do not seem to grasp open for instruction days it’s ok it’s buried in a moe doc somewhere.

Schools are open for instruction (when your kids can come in) for 380 half days (190) full days. On teacher only days the school is closed for instruction and these days do not count towards that 380 half day total.

Let’s say your school have 4 teacher only days during the year. They will still be open for 380 half days during the year (assuming someone calculated it correctly).

If you take out teacher only days the school is now open for 388 half days. This is not allowed.

The school will now open 4 days later at the start of the year or finished 4 days earlier at the end of the year. Or maybe they will make an extra long July school hols.

Can someone explain this to me?

When so many jobs have vanished, but a cheap-arse supermarket fridge pie (ie a cheap pie in a wrapper which is cold in the fridge, and you cant take outside and eat after you buy it, but have to take home to cook there or freeze or whatever) is now over $6 (as of countdown the palms today).

When will this hit an unsustainable level? Why are prices going up when no one has any money?

Is it just NZ that seems to be one giant shit show since late 23?

Yup, this is a bit of a vent, apologies, but is also an honest reflection of the prices of food and the employment situation in NZ right now. I am just not sure how logically, the two are coexisting?

I messaged a cleaner I found on Facebook asking if she was available for a deep clean and possible weekly or fortnightly small cleans after that. She said yes. I said that my main concerns were the concrete floors in the kitchen/dining/lounge areas and bathrooms, as well as the carpet in the other lounge, hallway and the main bedroom. And cleaning the kitchen. I get home and find she has mopped, but just around everything and not under rugs or anything. The lounge was vacuumed but not under shelves, rugs etc. The window sills, coffee table etc not wiped. Bathroom- she must have used some sort of bleach product as the new bathmats had some on. No visible mopping done. Shelves in the showers not wiped. Kitchen - top cupboard doors not wiped. Sides of bench not wiped. Appliances not wiped. Certainly nothing opened and wiped. She asked if I wanted the oven cleaned and I said no because I thought it would cost more but she didn't even wipe the cook top.

I am just gutted. It was all very surface level and something I would usually do on a weekend morning anyway. Nothing "deep" at all.

I messaged her, after debating about it in my head for ages, and said that I should have been more clear with my expectations etc. She apologised and said she should have asked what I wanted too. I just feel like they were things that should have been done anyway, not even as a deep clean. She has offered to come back next week, but I'm wondering if that is like sending your food back to a chef type thing..? I'm pissed off at paying $379 for a bit of mopping and vacuuming though. Unsure what to do.

We had a meeting today with all the managers and doctors after few weeks of a roller coaster ride in our practice. We have always struggled with long waiting times of patients and try our best to do walk in clinic and after hours. Despite all our efforts , our practice struggled to recruit doctors due to overwhelming workload and unable to pay enough to retain them. Although we try our best to meet everyone’s demands and look after our staff , despite fee increase our business was struggling for the last 6 months due to high cost of running and not enough funding from Te Whatu Ora/ Heath NZ. We had 3 senior GPs in our practice but one of the senior GP left us recently due to overwhelming workload and constant shortage of GPs . Our GP to patient ratio is roughly around 1:860 on average. So we recruited 2 GPs one a fellow and other a trainee. One of the junior GPs has attempted suicide recently and stated there is more pressure from the GP college to train in a particular way which is very different to how general practice actually works in the clinic and the fellow GP mentioned the tuition fee from college has gone up a lot and is struggling with paperwork and family life. Today we had a serious discussion if the practice is sustainable with current funding model and lack of adequate support for training or should we close down the medical centre. Just really gutted and struggling to find an amenable solution here.
