A little bit about me...
Hi My Name is Odette Sassman from Mt Roskill. I've been on Neighbourly since it started and am a Neighbourly Lead for Mt Roskill. I've been living in Mt Roskill since 2013. Such a lovely and diverse community. I live in walking distance from Keith Hay Park. I love it here. You would usually find me down at the gym doing a boxing class or two. I enjoy baking and am trying my hand.. sorry for the punn, as a nail technician. I work full time for the University of Auckland. I moved to New Zealand from South Africa 22 years ago.... Can't believe how time flies 😊

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Ridiculous Fuel Pricing!
I opted to drive down 5kms to Waitomo Epsom, where fuel prices are lower compared to anywhere in Mount Roskill. On a full fuel tank of about 40 liters, you'll save around $8.5 overall, and this is without any discounts at Waitomo. Mobile Epsom is still cheaper, and the savings would have been $12 or more.
This math of pump pricing is beyond me as the source/starting point of the tankers is more or less the same and the suburbs aren't that far away 🤔.
