Māmā takiwātanga<p>Our potato plants had died down already due to our cat deciding the potato bed was a nice place to lay in the sun, so we dug it over. </p><p>8kg of potatoes, an assortment of varieties called ‘stuff that was marked down at Bunnings’. </p><p>I don’t remember what we spent on the seed potatoes, but we will put the smaller and green ones back to re-seed. We can remove potatoes from our shopping list. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nobuyyear2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nobuyyear2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nonconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonconsumption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/frugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>frugal</span></a></p>
Māmā takiwātanga<p>Doing <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NoBuyYear2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoBuyYear2025</span></a> as a family of 4. </p><p>We challenged ourselves to avoid buying non essentials for the year. To decide what is essential we use a traffic light list; Green=essential, like groceries; Yellow=Think carefully, like replacing clothes; Red=Don’t buy. We do have personal allowances which are exempt from this and a budget for experiences. </p><p>Three weeks in we have stopped our cycle of living week to week and are decluttering our home. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/budgeting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>budgeting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nonconsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nonconsumption</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/EcoFriendly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcoFriendly</span></a></p>
Hippy Steve<p>Very bummed that my mouse cable (where it goes into my keyboard) is getting funky. It keeps freezing my cursor &amp; I have to pull &amp; reinsert the whole keyboard usb connector at the computer side &amp; reinsert it to reset the usb bus or something.</p><p>My last mouse lasted almost 25 years. this one only has about 5 years on it and I'll be pissed if I have to buy a new one just for the cable. </p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/NonConsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonConsumption</span></a></p>
