Rescued from the @FlyAirNZ abyss after 3 hours and 20 minutes but no way to attach one booking to another without paying over $600 in “price difference” 😟 wondering if I can swop my frequent flyer crappy lounge access for some actual common sense and service?

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

3 hours and counting spent waiting on hold to talk to a human at @FlyAirNZ about a simple request I can’t do on their website 😞 #badcustomerservice

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

Worried I may have fallen into the @FlyAirNZ call centre abyss.

When you accidentally burp into your swim snorkel is that a snurp or a burkel? Asking for a friend…#swim #swimmers #swimlife

@chrissiesmiles It’s definitely time someone invented a special needs bag for busy mums. I think mine would be sponsored by Cadbury’s. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you 😀

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

@meganmurp Most definitely yes

One of the best things about living in NZ is getting from surf to summit in less than a day.
But if you had to choose, would you rather hike a mountain or lie on a beach?.....

@nzpost Hi Jen. Same address as last time but I’ll DM you the tracking number

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

Yet another package lovingly and carefully delivered by @nzpost it could have been there for days.... #signaturerequired

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

@nzpost Thanks Jen - have sent a DM

[Melissa Turner @swimbeachrun]

Another quality delivery by @nzpost Throwing a gift parcel over the gate and leaving it out in the rain always beats putting it in the clearly marked post box right? #fail #poorcustomerservice

An article on the Finnish concept of Pantsdrunk (drinking alone in your undies) accompanied by an ad for undies. Excellent work #marketers #digitalmarketing #contextiseverything 😉😀

To roll or not to roll.....? #fitness #Fitlife #rolling #foamroller #exercise https://t.co/pY6apLNr1v

[Freely Wilds @freelywilds]

You can't walk into a gym nowadays without tripping over someone using a foam roller. But do they actually have any benefit? @LJMac_SportSci and @goose_angus provide the answers here https://t.co/ajuMfcchiw #fitness #rolling #exercise #flexibility #strength
