Hi neighbours, some cafes are temporarily banning the use of reusable coffee cups - or 'keep cups' - because of the coronavirus.
Has your local stopped accepting reusable cups?
A pair of white bedside tables must go as I am moving. Both are still in good condition.
Must pick up, Sandringham area.
$30 for both or make an offer.
Just something for the panic buyers/hoarders to think about.
Of your 100 rolls of toilet paper, how many does your elderly neighbour have that can only get out 1 time a week? They won't find any on the shelf. I'm sure you can spare a 4 pack.
Of your 15 bottles of hand sanitiser, did you … View moreJust something for the panic buyers/hoarders to think about.
Of your 100 rolls of toilet paper, how many does your elderly neighbour have that can only get out 1 time a week? They won't find any on the shelf. I'm sure you can spare a 4 pack.
Of your 15 bottles of hand sanitiser, did you think about that cancer patient who has a compromised immune system or did you leave a few or give them some?
Of your 100 frozen $1 pies did you consider the single parent that now has to feed their kids an extra meal or snack? Or will you make it for them and deliver it?
Of your 30 packs of baby wipes, and 6 tins of formula, what is the new mother to use? I hope you listen if someone says they are out or to the grandparents that just don't have that stuff laying around.
YOU SEE, YOUR HOARDING IS HELPING NO ONE.
Step back a moment and think about the next person who can't buy it because they are waiting on the next paycheck, waiting for a ride, or just can't get to the store.
If you are the hoarder of disaster, help someone who's life might be already shaken.

I can't even buy or even get any hand sanitiser there seems to be none around anywhere. I'm also not well at the moment so I don't want to go out and infect others. I feel for those who are in very similar situations. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I am not in a position to buy as I'm not financially capable. Thank you in advance.

In uncertain times, exercise can be so good for us - it supports both our mental health - and our immunity. Getting out of the house and into fresh air is good at the best of times - but right now, when many of us are housebound and working from home it’s almost necessary!
We naturally practice social distancing (as some of us are faster than others!), are non-contact and have asked all members to be conscious of their water bottle placement (and to use a unique water bottle) and not to spit. We're also asking anyone not to train until they're 100% back to normal.
We have a heap of fun and would love you to join us. Take a look at www.frootcamp.co.nz... - there's no catches. It's just...free.

PS - if you are currently self-isolating, please do the right thing and give it a few more days :)

The Museum’s Chief Executive Dr David Gaimster said “Auckland Museum is aligned with the Auckland Councils efforts to limit the transmission of the COVID -19 coronavirus. We will close our doors today at 5pm and will review our position regularly as new information from Health Officials comes to hand.”
“This was not an easy decision,” says Gaimster. “Auckland Museum has a role in the community to provide a sense of trust and continuity in times of uncertainty. However for the health and wellbeing for our visitors, our people and communities it has been necessary to make this difficult decision.”
The Museum will continue to operate behind the scenes undertaking the full range of its non-public facing activities such as caring for collections and taonga, research, digital and online initiatives, preparation of exhibitions and development of public programmes, planning and conservation.
Dr. Gaimster says while the Museum building is closed, it can still be visited online.
“Stay in touch with us at aucklandmuseum.com and we’ll keep you informed. Connect with us on our social media channels where we will bring you inspiring stories of our Museum, its collections and people,” he says.
“We don’t know yet when we will be able to re-open our doors, but we look forward to welcoming visitors back when we can,” says Dr. Gaimster.

"We've decided to change lanes this week and put our distillery to a different use," the brewery posted on social media.
"We're kicking off trial batches of hand sanitiser so that more Kiwis can stay safe. Wish us luck, how hard can it be?"
Desperate times call for desperate measures and, experiencing the hand sanitiser shortages firsthand when he tried to buy some for the team, Macklow decided the whiskey was going to have to wait.
Today is day two of the first trial batch of hand sanitiser and, all going to plan, Good George expects to have 1000 litres of this suddenly much sought after commodity ready by Monday.
The first batch will be free of charge and Macklow says it will go to everyone in the team, to the Good George pubs, where customers can use it, and to locals in Hamilton who might be in need of sanitiser.
As for the following batches, he is not sure whether it can stay free but hopes to keep it affordable and accessible to anyone who needs it.
