SuperCheap Auto sending an email telling me I have a ~$25 credit.

Apparently I bought something recently which went down in price after I'd bought it and they have credited me the difference.

Finding a website that puts the status of your order on the home page, so you don't need to faff around with "Your Account > Orders" like 99% of sites seem to make you do.

That's super impressive.

We had this recently with a car battery - needed it, so bought it, but it went on sale a week or two later and we got a significant credit for the difference between what we paid and the sale price.
It's a great service, but you only have a short window to spend the credit.

It is, and I note your super use of the English language to make your point.

Hearing what I thought was a Primary School outing/walking bus passing by the house (we have one around the corner and this happens every now and then), only to look out the window and see it's a large group of retirees (assumedly from the village down the road) going for an organised(ish) walk.

They seemed as excited as the children usually are and there was a lot of laughter.

Good times.

Airpoints purchase of a new toasted sandwich machine (as to add to everything else, the old one blew up - quite literally).
Ordered three days ago. Just had my first toastie from it. And the price was more-or-less retail (in Airpoints dollars).

Great service, unlike the airline.

A Swiss cheese fondue recipe that found its way from Switzerland via a restaurant in Christchurch (closed) back to Hamburg and now to me. 😁

Went out for lunch the other day with four colleagues. This involved a short drive and we all went in my car. The return journey ended with a fairly tight parallel park. I nailed it first time.

Naturally my response to a couple of their 'ooh, well done' comments was a nonchalant shoulder shrug (whilst jumping for joy on the inside)..

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Getting a phone call from "Vanilla Ice" after a 34 minute wait (after putting my beers in the freezer and texting 'Ice Ice' to 433).

It's a funny, but useful service that helps to prevent exploding bottles of beer in the freezer.

Made me smile.

I've put a couple of NFC tags on the wall next to the downstairs fridge for exactly the same reason. One to set a 30 minute timer, and one for 45 minutes, depending on ambient temperature. These work great for my 750 ml homebrew bottles.

I believe the correct number is 423 ("ICE" in the old dial pad letter to number mapping).
