Mum's holiday flip-flop
"With my four kids (plus two Christchurch and one Australian cousins) in the house we are running out of holiday activities," declares Melissa. "But I had a brainwave yesterday morning to sponsor the kids 20 cents a minute to bounce continuously on the trampoline. Two boys took up the challenge and 2.5 hours and a couple of timed toilet stops later I was $60 poorer! Seemed like a good idea at the time."
Don't bother us with irregularities, we're on a roll
A reader is suspicious after getting mail for a guy he's never heard of. "I have lived at my home for 11 years, we know the people we bought from and no one by this name has lived here. The mail is of a personal nature. Today a letter addressed to him arrived from the Electoral Commission. They advised I return the letter saying 'no longer at this address'. I let them know he had never been at this address and I think there is an irregularity with this registration suggesting someone may be creating an identity. They replied saying 'we don't deal with irregularities, just send the letter back so we can amend the roll'. Maybe I'm mistaken but surely irregularities with the roll should be top of their responsibilities? Has anyone else experienced this?"
So that's why it tastes floury ...
