I was a cat person until I got a Chihuahua. Now I am a firm tiny dog enthusiast. I still have my first Chihuahua...she is 16yrs old and we believe maybe immortal.

It has arrived!!! The lovely ribbon fell off, so I re-tied it. I promise, no poking and prodding was undertaken in the operation.

Tree now has a box at the bottom! Hopefully this year the tiny terrorist doesn't destroy it.
My Christmas tree decorated and red and silver with candy canes and underneath is a large box that is wrapped in red paper with centre heads on top saying ho ho

Tree is up and dining space looking festive. #Christmas2025
My Christmas tree which is decorated with a giant red bow at the top and big red bar at the bottom and a variety of ornaments in silver and red the lights on but you can't see it at the bottom of the screen you can see my dog looking like she's doing it dump she isn't she just getting out of bed and she's ancient. In the background is my book with two cheers and another dog asleep on one of the chairs and the foreground is my ugly footstool. Close-up of my decorations you can see a Grinch bauble form McDonald's because I've been a little bit addicted to happy meals at the moment. There is also some candy cane decorations and some red bows and some red and silver tinsel. My dining room table which has a red TAB cloth on it in the center is a wreath I made last year that is green tinsel with red bows and in the middle is a red square bowl filled with green silver and red walls and there is a Santa hat in the centre A close-up of my centerpiece which is a redesquare bowl with red silver and green baubles and a very long elongated Santa hat centred in the middle

Someone thought she was very clever working out she could get from chair A to chair B via the side table....but had not realised she would need to get from side table to chair B which is occupied.

Someone is regretting life decisions.
Nita is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel of the ruby coloured variety and the background you can see a green floral armchair and Neeta is standing on a side table next to a red chair and trying to work out how she gets from a to B Another photo of Neeta the Red Ruby Cavalier King Charles spaniels looking down at this time we're trying to work out how she can get from her precarious spot to the chosen chair

Here's the thing always read the fine print. Yes it is a boost to Kiwi saver contributions, but it will come out of NZ'rs pay packet as increase to employers contribution, and employee minimum.

These snake oil salespeople need to be gone!!! #OneTermGovernment
A screen grab of an article that headline reads Christopher luxon makes national party election pledge for KiwiSaver contribution boost. There is a photo of luxon underneath

Secret Santa mostly done, Christmas presents wrapped. Hubby is not on socials, so thought I would share my epic Calender for next year. We have a tradition of finding the worst calendar for out wharepaku door.
I am now melting as it's super hot this evening.
The front page of a calendar at the top it says 2026 calendar chicken daddies there is a picture of a man with a beard and a beer belly wearing a small white top with little blue stripes on it a blue tutu he has work boots on and is holding a chicken in his hand. He also has fairy wings on his back and a tiara he is sitting in a paddock with blue flowers in some trees in the background. This is the may page of the 2026 calendar it has a guy in summit short shorts and a crop top and a straw hat with his foot placed above a upside down bucket. He has on some gumboots and next to him on two crates is a red hen

Getting summer ready.....then my shade sail failed and I am now having to reinforce the crappy stitching
My yard, there is a post with fake greenery and a brown shade sale View under the shade sail of my yard. There are 2 posts with fake greenery, some bunting flags hanging between them and a blue paddling pool at the back. Close up of my sewing machine and stitching over the crap stitching from my shade sale that came undone.
