Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
Shops that decide for no apparent reason, at least to us who get to wander round looking for stuff thats moved 4 isles away. Yes I'm looking at you Countdown.

Almost. Went to petrol station last night but paid with phone. Wallet not in my jacket or jeans. Called BP nd no wallet handed.
Could have fallen from pocket and collected by someone. Time to cancel a couple of cards.
Wife found wallet in the car...

Shouldn't that be in that smile thread?
Possibly... Just posting an update to the situation here. Also I don't post in that thread. I never smile, despite of what my avatar here shows.

Wives aren't usually encumbered by the y chromosome induced cerebral inhibition of visual surveillance and recovery, aka "the man look".

Not necessarily... it depends what she found in the wallet. 🤨
Air-conditioner remotes. Doesn't seem to matter the brand they're always aweful.
Its gotten to the stage where the next aircon I purchase will probably be chosen solely on whichever has the best remote.
Trying to get prices for tyres on-line. All the mainstream sellers want you to call them or fill out a bl**dy form and they'll email you a quote.
Just show me the prices and if it looks appealing I'll call you and we can negotiate from there.
Thanks for explaining "plethora".
It means a lot.

Stupid advertisements: "The [insert product name here] that everyone is talking about."
Fly Buys.
We need a new slow cooker as previous one now EOL.
I thought that might be a good use of the Fly Buys points that I have accumulated. So, browsed their site looking at various models. Literally all of them that were more expensive than the amount of points I have required more in cash to 'top up' the purchase than the same item could be purchased for from a shop!
One glaring example was a fancy Kitchen Aid device that was much more than just a slow cooker: with 750 Fly Buys points, it required another $750 to buy it.
Order it from Kitchen Aid NZ and you can buy it for $650...!
This seems somehow wrong - it is tantamount to the Fly Buys points actually being worth zero.
