Masks - what works well and what doesn't

Sheri from Mount Roskill

Study: some cotton cloth masks are about as effective as standard surgical masks, but alternatives such as neck warmers made of thin, stretchy material may be a bad idea.
www.stuff.co.nz...

I am making 100% cotton reusable masks with two layers of fabric for just $10 each. Shaped masks in men's, women's, children's sizes (not recommended for children under 3 years old) or pleated surgical style masks in one size. If you would like to order some or find out more, please message me for further information.

For those of you who can sew and want to make your own masks, please see my earlier post on mask patterns - there are a lot of free patterns available that you can download, and lots of tutorials if you need help.

Stay safe and well - wear a mask, keep 2m distance, avoid touching your face, and wash your hands frequently!

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?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
