My bag varies when I go out; need to keep adding or removing items depending on where I go. If it’s a quick run this is my bag, for work it’s different but if it’s a big day with baby I have like 2 other bags to carry! But mostly this is what I bring. I’m from New Zealand so most items I bought here locally or within Oceania, including this bag from Status Anxiety an Aussie brand.
It’s my first Leuchtturm1917 and I got the stealth collector’s set. I also have a few from our local stationery shop called made of tomorrow, and a matchbox notebook. Exciting!
Hi everyone,
I am a bit confused of what IRD told me when I rang. I am entitled for a tax refund because in 2025 I was on maternity leave and they over taxed from parental leave and I have received a back pay from work. I still haven’t heard from them for over a month so I contacted them. They said they are waiting for my partner’s 2026 tax return because he is self employed and then they can process our working for families etc before I get any refund. It’s confusing as they want him to file his tax this year but we are only in July and he is a self employed tradie so sometimes work is there and sometimes it’s not, he can’t really estimate how much he gets per year. He also has a personal accountant. Anyway I am confused why we have to wait for 2026 when my tax return was for 2025. I am already back to work so I know we won’t be eligible for working for families, I just want my tax refund!
