Poll: How do you fold your towels?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. … View more
Hey neighbours, is there a right way to fold towels? It seems it's a topic lots of people have strong opinions about.

The most popular options are the quick-and-easy triple fold, or folding the outer edges towards the centre before folding in thirds, to create a plusher, more spa-like look. But what do you do? And who knew folding towels could be so controversial?

There is help for families affected by problem drinking.

In extreme cases, an alcoholic may be homeless, but many live in families that are struggling because of the challenges that come with problem drinking.

Family members become lonely, isolated, ashamed and depressed. They feel that life has become unmanageable or unbearable. Al-Anon-Alateen Family Groups is a support programme for people who are living with or have lived with the problems of someone else's drinking.

Al-Anon and Alateen for young people offer understanding and personal growth - whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. There are free of charge meetings daily around Auckland. To find one visit online here.

Members share their experiences of applying the Al-Anon principles to their lives. There is no advice given or specific direction suggested.

Below are a few thoughts from people who have tried Al-Anon:

"I believed that the only thing I needed to be happy and safe was for my husband to stop drinking."

"My life had got so out of control not knowing what my state my daughter would be in when I got home."

"I thought I was strong enough to deal with this on my own...After trying everything, I went to my first meeting."

FREE STAINLESS STEEL OUTDOOR TABLE FRAME

Vasanti from Royal Oak

I have an outdoor STAINLESS STEEL table frame. There are 3 sections which had slate in each. However, I lost one in a storm a couple of years ago..fell and broke. The 2nd one we lost as trying to remove from frame (didn't hold it correctly). So it has one left. The blue marks you can see is … View moreI have an outdoor STAINLESS STEEL table frame. There are 3 sections which had slate in each. However, I lost one in a storm a couple of years ago..fell and broke. The 2nd one we lost as trying to remove from frame (didn't hold it correctly). So it has one left. The blue marks you can see is blue tac from when I placed wooden slats to fill the middle space.
Possibly you could add wooden slats all the way along but fix with something more permanent than blue tac?
It's a really good sturdy frame as you can imagine being stainless steel.

FREE to a good home :)

If interested, please text me on

Thank you
