The joys of internet banking...
-
So, I'm trying to pay an airline booking for next years big trip via internet banking. First hurdle, current transaction limit is 10k and the tickets are $90 over that, so contact bank, verify myself and ask to have limit upped by 1k. Oh, the next step is 25k. Nothing in between? Nope. OK, up it to 25k, I'll do my transfer and get it decreased again. Go to do transaction after limit increased. Oh, now I need an online code for two factor authentication. Fair enough, the bank is taking security seriously. Ahhhh, the magic code gets sent to my mobile phone. Trouble is I live rural and there is no cellphone coverage. :( Looks like I'm driving in to town to the bank to get it done over the counter. :sigh:

...and yet in NZ the Eye of Sauron can see everywhere! The cell phone companies need to catch up. I have a friend who is a big(ish) wig in NZ Communications. I shall have him get in there and fix it for you. North Island or South Island?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Lower north. I can draw a line on the road where coverage ends. It's all these damned hills. Still, no coverage has it's advantages. The kids don't run up big bills :) and know how to use a landline (how quaint!). Plus no one ever asks me to be on call :cool:

Being in UnZud (MM can tell you where that is) it costs a sh*tload to get anywhere. Hence the just over 10k for the airfares (for 3). The trip is more or less in this order - Greece, France, Italy, Croatia then Italy again. Of course the travel consultant (Mrs Wife) may makes changes, additions and deletions at will at pretty much any time. :sigh: But if the last eurovacation was anything to go by it should be 10 weeks of good times. :cool: Some friends are planning to meet us on Santorini for my daughters 21st (they're her god parents) which should be a blast.

There's always a few for sale at any time. What's your budget? :) The thing with what we call "lifestyle blocks" is that a lot of people who buy them don't realise the effort that goes into maintaining them so after a year or two they come back on the market. We've lived here for nearly 12 years now and wouldn't give it up for anything (8000m2 block in the middle or a working farm, no neighbours).

Not sure if our ones understand Welsh for "assume the position". :)
