Free contraception clinic in Maangere

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Just letting you know whaanau that we now have a free contraception clinic in Maangere on a Thursday afternoon from 12.30 – 4.30pm. You can make an appointment (09 254 4260), but you can also drop-in on the day, no appointment necessary. Please let your whaanau of child-bearing age know about this great service.

And for those of us wahine of a certain – ahem – older age, things have changed in the world of contraception in recent years. We now have LARCs (long acting reversible contraception) like Jadelle implants and IUCDs, both fit and forget options that give you protection against pregnancy for 3-5 years. Once removed, your fertility returns.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
