“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.
Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

That legislation was particularly popular in Parliament, passing with the support of every party but Act.
Minister Clark said it was “unfair that retailers, especially small retailers, have been constantly stung with high fees for offering services they need to survive”.
Merchant service fees are the fees paid by retailers to accept credit cards and some debit card payments.
Many shops choose to pass this fee on to consumers for using credit cards or payWave, resulting in higher prices.
It is hoped that this practice will end, or the passed-on fees will be lower, thanks to the legislation.
The cap on credit interchange fees is set at 0.8 per cent, in line with fees charged in Australia.
The legislation also caps fees for online debit transactions at 0.6 per cent.

BUT, the most pressing thing IMO is the loss of our Stadium.
Councillor John Watson has explained the situation:
" a proposal that could involve the demolition of North Harbour Stadium and the sale of the land. That proposal is being advanced by Tataki Auckland Unlimited (the council CCO which has managed the stadium since 2014).
If adopted this would mean the entire northern region of Auckland will never again have a stadium capable of hosting any major sporting, cultural or music event as occurred regularly under previous management (and this for the fastest growing node in Auckland with a population fast approaching 500,000).
By stark contrast from 1997 -2014 the stadium was managed by the North Harbour Stadium Trust. That Trust was very successful in attracting a wide variety of content to the stadium including All Black and Kiwi rugby league tests, NRL games, Super Rugby games, FIFA matches, an A-League soccer franchise and a whole variety of concerts and cultural events. The Trust also built up a healthy reserve fund to ensure the ongoing maintenance and capital replacement.
Around 2014, however, the Trust was persuaded by council directors that the transfer of the stadium into the new ‘Super City’ CCO would be in the best interests of the stadium going forward.
Since that time, however, the original trustees, along with many in the North Harbour community, have watched in dismay as TAU have not only failed to attract anything like the content that characterised the performance of the previous Trust but have severely compromised the use of the ground with some disastrous operational decisions.
The most graphic example of these failures was the $2.5 million spent in 2019 demolishing a large section of the western half of the ground to accommodate a baseball franchise that subsequently went bust owing money. In so doing TAU effectively removed the ability of North Harbour Stadium to attract major sporting events.
Remarkably no subsequent effort has been made by TAU to reinstate the western half of the ground despite there being a relatively straightforward fix - so now half of the stadium looks like an ordinary suburban ground while the other side retains the look and facilities of a modern stadium, the equal of any in NZ in fact.
Instead of addressing these glaring shortcomings for which they have been solely responsible Tataki Auckland Unlimited are now promoting the demolition of Auckland’s newest stadium, ironically one they themselves trumpeted a few years back as “the country’s finest mid-size community stadium.”

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later
“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."
“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
