Was expecting a pre-planned power outage at 9:00am, got a message around 7:00am saying the work was complete, a bit surprising, but looked at the electricity suppliers outage site, and sure enough, nothing planned for us. Guess what happened at 9:00am, yep, a power outage, ha, ha!!

Haha that's so annoying. Hope you have power back soon.
Thanks, it came back after around 5 hours. We have a UPS that keeps our tablets online & fully working for a couple of hours.
Didn't have any plans for the day but got a last minute invite from mates to go to the Kapiti Food Fair. I was planning on staying in bed and reading manga as usual, but I guess it's not too bad to step outside every once in a while...
Yeah, our insurer said our vehicle isn't totalled and can be repaired. They'll also pay for long haul from SI to NI. Still a bit annoying process, I have to keep calling for updates, they aren't very quick. We have plans with the vehicle so hopefully fixed soon.
Thanks everyone for the tips here.
Does the insurance cover a rental while waiting on repairs?
No, it's an addon we didn't have for this vehicle.
Meeting with a real estate agent today to get an appraisal on our house. Come on new house!
Wow nice, congrats. Did you already buy a new house?
Offer is underway.
Meeting with agent I think went better than expected, our house may be worth more than we thought. Now to get some more opinions and a registered valuation to see if they're just buying the listing or it's actually an accurate appraisal.
Nice, sounds good. Good luck!
