Got an idea for next month's banner?
Groceries this morning. I was bored and ran the entire shopping list through the Grocer app, since we have to drive past two other supermarkets to get to our one of choice. By stopping at each one and grabbing the specials we saved nearly $30 so the doubtful SO has decided that doing a grocery check before leaving the house is my new Sunday morning chore.
In related news, I am turning into my mother.
Nice! I don't have the patience to do it but probably should. We have so many things where we buy the same things regularly that I really have no excuse not to do that.
If we had to go out of our way to get to the other places I absolutely wouldn't have bothered but it worked out pretty well.
I have to drive past another supermarket to go to our usual so I still don't have an excuse.
Morena!
Morena! How's your day going?
Approaching end of long weekend, didn't do much other than domestic chores :)
Oh yea, FF16 is awesome!
Oh man I wish I could count FF16 as a domestic chore!
Stupid Auckland with it's no redwood forest and easily accessible mountain bike tracks and no shuttles and traffic and stupid house that needs cleaning for inspection and all the washing and bike gear to clean.
Long weekend is long and after two days of chores I have one day of chill
Nice! That's better than the standard two days of chores then back to work 😄
Did you win?
We're still playing, I have a feeling we'll be here a while .. mummy has to moderate frequently
Haha one of mine likes to cheat when they are losing. They are bad cheaters so it normally makes them lose worse.
Morena! Caught a dose of a chest/throat infection recently, boy, that has made me feel really bad, won’t be doing much today.
There are heaps of bugs going around at the moment! I hope you feel better soon 🙂
Thanks, me too!! I was at the doctors week and a bit back, and the nurse I saw was masked and told me she’d recently seen some very ill kiddies. So maybe it’s a dose from that, IDK. Go to the docs for one issue, then come away with a new one!!
Yeah someone I know had their 9 month old in ICU with RSV recently. I've had vomiting, fevers, and cold symptoms across my kids this week.
There's a flu study in the Wellington region that publishes the types of illness they have found. The one on the website here is a week out of date but shows what's in the air around Wellington:

Oh, what a worry to have a little one in ICU, hope yours are getting better. Interesting data, don’t think anywhere has avoided it.
The one in ICU is out now, I saw them a couple of days ago and they were pretty happy looking. I don't think it was ever at a concerning level, the ICU was just for 24/7 monitoring.
Does anyone know of a decent firefox extension to add a button to jump back to the top of a page? The ones I've found by search are out of date and no longer working, and it's something that I'm still missing here from certain other websites.
I haven't used any, but does this one not work? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll-to-top/
It was last updated in December, which seems reasonable since you wouldn't think something like this would need a lot of updates.
The last review was 5 stars 3 months ago so it seems it was somewhat recently working.
Thank you! I was searching for 'jump to top' rather than 'scroll' so hadn't seen this one.
Interesting, I searched "jump to top firefox extension" on the qwant search engine and it was the first result.
