She followed this advice right through and you can imagine her anger when she received a letter from the IRD saying "Oops, sorry we gave all your personal data to Meta" (Not account Nos)
Paraphrased- "It was a simple mistake as we were asking Meta to solve a problem we had and sent yours plus other details to them by mistake"
Sorry.
Surly this can not be the end of such a critical personal data breach.
Any ideas?
Just a warning. If you have a sealed bag of Moana Coconut & Turmeric Fish Curry go and check the bag. If it is at all swollen (it will be obvious) take it outside immediately and leave somewhere where, if it explodes, it won't make a huge mess that will be a pain to cleanup (leave it in a … View moreJust a warning. If you have a sealed bag of Moana Coconut & Turmeric Fish Curry go and check the bag. If it is at all swollen (it will be obvious) take it outside immediately and leave somewhere where, if it explodes, it won't make a huge mess that will be a pain to cleanup (leave it in a compost pile for example). Do not puncture bag inside your house to relieve the pressure because it stinks something bad - outside is fine. Haven't disposed of it yet but will probably flush down toilet. Best by date on bag is April 2025.

We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.
Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.
His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.
Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'
The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!
It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?
