Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.… View moreHey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.
Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?
Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Email homed@stuff.co.nz and one of our reporters will be in touch.

Timber Flooring
If you’re looking for beautiful timber flooring, but your budget won’t stretch for it, consider a laminate floor with a timber look. With today’s technologies, laminate floors are made to look like exactly like real timber and they offer the same stain, the same graining – and even the same texture! Laminate offers you the look and feel of real wood for a fraction of the price. Installation is easy with no mess, no fuss. And once it’s installed, it’s a look you’ll love for a lifetime. Laminate is scratch resistant, hygienic, easy to clean and very low maintenance.

Open Evening – Thursday 16th August, 6pm - Tours of the school, 6:45pm – Principals Address
Open Morning - Tuesday 21st August 9am — 12pm
The Principal is available during the school day to talk with Parents and Caregivers. To ensure quality time an appointment is essential. Enrolments can be completed and forwarded to the school anytime until enrolments close. Late enrolments may be taken, although places may be limited due to the high interest and demand for placement at Ponsonby Intermediate School. It is therefore important that we receive all enrolments by the end of the enrolment period, Friday 28 September 2018.
Over that time various proposals have been put forward, and the site has changed hands. The most recent applications centred on the floor area and vehicle access across neighbouring St Patrick's Square.

However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

Put down the oil, wet wipes and nappies, because your city has 'fatbergs' on it's hands! Auckland's sewerage system is choking on 'fatbergs' - which are large, smelly solid masses that cause blockages in the wastewater system. Watercare spends about $1 million to remove them each year.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you know what can and can't be flushed, or tipped down the sink? How do you think this smelly problem could be resolved? Let us know in the replies!

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
