#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 thought this sign definitely said something else from afar

Hey hey it’s Monday the day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big things with everything in between. Ash played for the NZU15 water polo team at Aussie State champs last week and won the silver medal. Thanks for everyone that has supported her over time. What’s yours?

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 Ash got injured in a game on Friday & it's turned out to not be as serious as we thought. She made it to Oz with the NZ Team. What's yours?

Hey, hey it's Monday that awesome day of the week where we celebrate all the small - big wins with everything in between. Mine is I shopped around my business gas account (after it was going to go up by $800 a mth) & found a new company that will match existing. What's yours?

Hey, hey it's Monday that great day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that my teeth have settled down a lot (not having to take daily painkillers) and go back tomorrow to start the process for braces. What's yours?

Hey, hey its Monday that wonderful day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I think I have turned a corner with my recovery from getting my wisdom teeth out. Almost 10 days now but feel a bit better. 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.

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 got Ash off to football nationals & currently able to watch her on the live stream. What's yours?

5 years ago today, we had pins, merchandise and events. It would be fun to get the group back together for an event. I met so many wonderful friends IRL as a result of this group started by just a tweet.

Hey hey It's Monday that day of the week when we celebrate all of the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I swam 4 lengths for the first time since 2008 because of a shocker of a shoulder and it was pain free. (not sure about tomorrow haha). What's yours?

Everytime Luxon talks about the $6B in infrastructure spending why isn't he being hounded about the ferry debacle? That would have done more for shoring up trade, getting NZ moving etc by prioritising the strait which is SH1. Spending money on f**king roads that cost more than this vital route.

Ash is going to football nationals and I just got the information. It’s my worst nightmare folks, having to cook a meal for 7 people and send baking. I have massive anxiety about cooking and you have to cook a specific recipe. They are all things I have never cooked before f**k

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 got Ash to all of her sports things including a 5.30am wake up call on Sunday morning. Made it to Monday, what's yours?

Seeing National’s “attack” ads about Greens making Labour do things on tax. The audacity of this when they are being completely owned by ACT this government cycle, agreeing to things in their coalition agreement that they actively know was going to create division. GTFO

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 got a bit of a down time over the weekend just to chill out which hasn't happened in ages. What's yours?

It's happy gotcha day to Omen who we have had for 6 years! Time flies, this is his first photo.

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 have managed to get a bit more on top of the home front including sorting the pantry after a hectic start to term. What's yours?

My kid got her first XI warm up shirt today for football and they choose a name down the sleeve. She added my name to hers without telling me and I am so chuffed.

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 the same as my post from Friday because it's massive for us that Ash made the NZU16 team for state champs in Aussie. What's yours?

Went to the Dentist yesterday armed with everyone's advice. It turns out my bottom teeth are collapsing in because my wisdom teeth have squeezed them, they're all out of kilter so that's what keeps breaking my top tooth. I now need braces & wisdom teeth out. Spenny on top of NZ team Invoice too

Omg guys! Ash bloody did it and got selected in the NZ U16 team for the Australian State Champs in Canberra. She has worked so hard for this and I’m so proud of her. Now for some fundraising and way more training. It’s been a bit of a ride to get to this point.

I have this tooth that has a big ugly chip in it, I keep getting it repaired & periodically it comes out taking more of my tooth with it. It did it again tonight, apparently my appointment on Friday will cost $900. It’s like every 18 months, has to be something more permanent?

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that we had a nice celebration for my partner yesterday for his birthday, lovely dinner with family amidst all the start of term chaos. What's yours?

My father was round for dinner tonight and shows us his new basically small blow torch. The story that followed "I felt a hot burning sensation on my leg so thought I had set myself on fire. It turns out it was a wasp sting and I was lucky I was wearing my tight knickers". Always something haha

Got it in my head today that I wanted my ears pierced a second time, so I just went and impulsively did it. So stoked that I did!

Hey hey it’s Monday that wonderful day of the week when we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I am finally starting to get over my awful cold that I’ve had for the last two weeks. What’s yours?

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 hired a couple of new staff, ones already trained up which is as rare as a unicorn in our industry. What's Yours?

Reminiscing today as my child got a chance to look through some of my great grandmothers things that Mum still had. This is my grandparents just after getting married, Ash thought this picture was a magazine on my parents wall rather than family. I love this picture

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 we won gold at Div 2 Senior Women’s national league in the weekend. So special with my best friend & daughter in team. What’s yours?

Hey, hey it’s Monday that wonderful day of the week when we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that ash and her school team mates came first equal with another school in swimming relay champs for the first time in their history. What’s yours?

WTAF they are a death cult www.choosecleanwater.org.nz/in-the-media...

Watching the Titan documentary on Netflix & it's absolutely wild the whole story. When Icarus flies too close to the sun, so many warnings and just the arrogance of the billionaire owner. I guess at least in this instance he also put himself at risk other than how it usually goes.
