Hey hey it’s Monday that awesome day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I finally made some decisions about staffing for next term after having a bit of decision paralysis. What’s yours?

Of all the things Luxon could post about while the world is on fire, his summer spotify playlist is it. WTF?

There are some days (more in the last year than the last 17 years in business) that I think I should look for a job rather than own a business. I have come to the harsh realisation that I'm not really qualified to do anything eek & as everyone knows the job market is slim pickings. Life in NZ aye?

I have been following this person who had a pack of bully breed dogs. On Xmas Eve an incident occurred which resulted in the death of 2 of them & the 3rd had killed 1 of them so was behaviourally euthanised. Tragic story but the comments section & other influencers jumping in on this are insane. 😭

Hey, hey it’s the first medal Monday of the year. Happy New year. We are celebrating all the small to big wins that people want to share. Mine is that I listed a bunch of stuff on trademe & actually sold a number of things. Also that Wgtn has a lovely day today. Whats yours?

A selection of 2025! Goodbye to a punishing but overall good year that was somewhat a roller coaster. Thanks to all that make it work and on to the next one right? There was sooo much water polo (with some football in there too) laughter, friendship, health stuff, ash’s first concert and much more!

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day where we celebrate everything that is good. As it's our last one for the year you are welcome to share big or small achievements from the year, week, day, month. Mine is the support of you amazing folk & your kindness towards Ash and I. What's yours?

The power cut on Christmas Eve is the gift that has kept on giving. Ash went to charge her phone in the car, I told her to turn the car on. She did but not running and it completely drained the battery. Now the electrics have glitched completely & car not able to be driven. FML

Christmas Pizza, one of the best and might be our new tradition. Hope everyone had a lovely one and got to do the things that they liked x

Power outage until at least 6pm. Have everything crossed that it's back on soon. Our fridge and freezer are currently off and we are hosting

For those that know about swim training, drove ash to swim practise. She walks in and it’s a 50m pool, almost walks out. Death…..

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I was so blown away with the response of everyone on here to Ash having her wallet stolen. Thank you for your kindness. What's yours?

I really appreciate the kindness of everyone on here, there’s still some goodness. Many people have offered kind words, advice + offers to help ash get birthday money back. Thank you for your generosity, it’s appreciated and have had someone reach out to give ash replacement birthday money. Tears x

When it rains it pours aye? Things are tight, doing all of this fundraising etc for water polo. Ash went to play basketball in the park and got her wallet with $200 birthday money that was given to her stolen while she was playing. A massive oof after this shit of a year.

Thank you to my #secretsanta for my awesome thoughtful gifts. I love the medal, my favourite chocolates and who doesn’t love a good party mix. The earrings are awesome, love the blue and even better for sensitive ears. Thanks so much I am really appreciative xx have a good Christmas.

So just found out that Hamish Price has died. Interesting feelings about this but thinking I shouldn't post one last clown shoe or horse gif .

Hey, Hey it's Monday that awesome day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I got through some long days in the weekend selling raffle tickets, pool control & took my staff out to dinner to thank them. What's yours?

We are in Petone until 12.30 today - come and take some delicious slice, cookies and lollies off our hands. We also have some great raffle prizes for ash’s trip to Aussie Youth water polo champs! Let me know if you are keen for tickets!

If you around in Petone today and tomorrow, Ash and her team mates are selling goodies and raffle tickets for their Australian youth club champs tour in April. Raffle tickets are $2 for 1 or 3 for $5. We have lolly bags, toffee apples, slices et

Man…today was a trip. Dog chased bird into the house, bird got stuck in my office and I couldn’t get it out for three hours. Included dog running to front of house and jumping in the window. Then when I finally got the bird out, a massive bush cockroach ran across my desk and under the couch. Cursed

Hey. hey it's Monday that wonderful day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. After hitting the wall last week completely, I have dusted myself off and getting back on the train. What's yours?

And then she was 15! Happy Birthday Ash 🎂🎂

And then after he let Bloxham hear and live update on their social media channel a private chat and there was no retribution. Little shouldn't have given him a position but should have definitely stood him down once he showed again his unsuitability for any role.

Hey, Hey it's Monday that great day of the year where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I coached my daughter's team at Junior North Islands Water Polo in the weekend and they nailed it making the Top 6 for the 1st time. What's yours?

#SecretSantaAoNZ To my Santa thank you for being a part of this. I have two very silly dogs Omen and Xena who I love dearly & are definitely my fur babies, a 14 year old that is way cooler than I am. I love Coffee, Chocolate, things that sparkle (I'm a magpie), rosé, gin & all things cute.

Hey, hey it’s Monday that great day of the week when we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is our roses have come out, I love to look at them & for those that know my kid loves a weird cake theme & she has chosen a monstrosity (pictured). What’s yours?

Hey, hey it's Monday that day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I had wrist surgery last Tuesday and I have got to take off the bandages yesterday so that I could have a shower without a plastic bag. What's yours?

In the other place the irony of people telling me a swim school owner to teach my own kids to swim 🤦🏻‍♀️ Read my bio my dudes. Also full disclosure never got a $ from water safety NZ but still think they are important.

Geez this government is a death cult aye, they are taking 20% of Water Safety NZ’s funding from next year because they weren’t sure if it actually made a difference to drowning statistics. It’s $1.1 million of funding, there needs to be more funding not less.

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I have been getting a lot of stuff done before I have a carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow. What's yours?

I watched the movie Prime Minister this week, there were so many feelings watching it. Both for the events that happened during her term and for the ending. I can't imagine being subjected to that level of vitriol.

Hey, Hey it's Monday that wonderful day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I now have some bank cards so I can access money & a drivers license on the way. Pleased I could still get a rental vehicle in the weekend. What's yours?

Guys what a time. This week has been a punisher & to top it off last night my entire bag got stolen while I was in the pool. They managed to get a lot of transactions before the bank cancelled the cards & took my drivers license. Today has been a day trying to sort it all. FML

Hey, hey it's Monday that great day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is business has been a bit rough over the past year but being at my pool the last week people have taken the time to give me nice feedback. What's yours?

I walk my dogs everyday down to the Petone Esplanade & dice with death trying to cross at a crossing as everyone speeds & doesn't stop. Today a lady stopped for me and the car behind her didn't even brake and went straight into the back of her car. Scary stuff.

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I felt so grateful with all of the support for Ash's water polo trip. Thank you to those that were able to help out. What's yours?

Thanks to those that have already donated. I really appreciate your kindness and support. There are still some numbers left for getting Ash away with the NZU16 team to state champs in Australia. Would appreciate anything that people can give :)

Hey team, a few people have reached out offering help with any fundraising initiatives for Ash to play for NZ in Water polo in September. The costs are pretty large on top of all tournaments etc. This was suggested to me by @koroteeps.bsky.social & would appreciate any support people can help with.
