I've had my Panasonic bread maker for years now and it's brilliant. It has a nut/raisin dispenser which is indispensable when you're making hot cross buns - the machine just drops them at the right moment.

Does Finn usually cry/bark when he has an urgent poo during the night? Maybe he doesn't realise that he can ask to go out?!

Well spag bol is on the menu for next week, and I'm even going to make my own sauce! I usually just buy a ready-made one (top shelf, nothing nasty) but all your recipes have inspired me. I do, however, have the only child on earth who hates spag bol, but *shrugs*

I'm very sorry to hear about more setbacks for both of you. Keep on doing what you're doing and taking things one day at a time. You'll both get through it.

I've never met a Piper but yes, I'd assume it was a girl's name. I have met an Eden, she was a couple of years below me in primary school. Maybe her dad was a rugby fan and named her after the iconic Eden Park in Auckland? Haven't met an Eden since. Dawn goes to school with an Essence...A...

Yes, I have a friend who's a vet. There's only one vet school in NZ and the graduating class isn't huge. By the time my friend was almost 30 there had been 3 suicides from her class, iirc they were all practising in rural areas. She said that many vets get out of the game by the time they're...

Xena gets this from time to time, but it's never affected her walking and she's always been happy to put weight on it. I just keep it free of gunk, and when the nail starts to really split I pull it off, no drama. The first time it happened I really worried (I'd made a post on the other forum...

I've definitely heard about tattooing with ashes (for humans too) and you can for sure get jewellery made with any sort of cremains. I'd love some special jewellery when the time comes. Oh the ears, it would be lovely to do something non-creepy with them, like a small cuddly...something...

Little Gaia the GSD pup came over for a bit this afternoon and Xena had almost constant zoomies on the lawn, it was a sight to behold :D

Oh Reuben, what an egg. I'll have my fingers crossed for the Monday bloods, but I'm sure he'll be fine. Pretty sure that all of our dogs have eaten something potentially dangerous at some point, it's what they do.

Look at him boinging like a gazelle lol

I just googled Malena and the first page of results are all about the sexy Italian movie, Malena. I had to google "Malena health" before I figured out what you were talking about. Malena/Melena is so close to the actual name Melina, I can totally see how people would get kree8ve with the...

Oh @Candy, I'm sorry but your name story is hilarious. I'm just so relieved for you that nobody made the thrush connection until you were an adult! Kelsey - I think Gizmo is a brilliant name for a cat! Maybe he'll turn into Pig Cat the way Indie has turned into The Pig :D

Bloody brilliant! Poor girl, a tummy bug is no fun for any of us.

That all sounds very promising, and I really hope that it works out with this lady. If it doesn't, then I suggest Facebook - I know you're not on FB, but it's an excellent way to source help like this. So many small businesses forego websites and just have a social media page, or you can join...

I'm very sorry for the kids and grandkids - what a year. And then to lose a beloved pet. All you can do is be there to support. They probably had mixed feelings about Trevor 2.0 if he was as unpleasant as you say, but that can make the grief all the more complicated.

We say "rooting for" in NZ. We also use it in the other context too. We're smart like that ;) I'm so happy to hear that Ella's eaten! I hope you both have a settled night.

Wow, that's some exceptionally uncalled for passive aggression.

Oh Em she sounds so uncomfortable. I really hope it's "just" a nasty bug. I hope you're able to get some results asap.

I hope you don't need to make a dash to the after hours. Ella must be feeling better after the anti nausea jab.
