Garden Tidy up
Hi there is there anyone available in the Ellerslie area, would be able to do a ‘one off’ garden tidy (and a couple of very minor house repairs) for us. Depending on costs - removal of oxalis etc, then digging over a long narrow strip. Laying about 10 pavers , getting rid of kikuyu (couch?)grass in a rock garden, attaching some timber strips to fence to tie tomatoes to (there's close to surface rocks, so can't stake them), and to run wire (or similar) suitable to espalier said tomatoes to along fence line. If you you're interested, do message me - Ann 021-137-1108
New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
