CAR INSURANCE PREMIUMS

Linda from Henderson

My late model 5 star safety rated Mazda is used once a month, does approximately 1000kms per year, and is garaged securely.
The premium goes up every year, and the replacement value goes down.
It is costing me far more to insure the car, than it costs to run it.

My late model 5 star safety rated Mazda is used once a month, does approximately 1000kms per year, and is garaged securely.
The premium goes up every year, and the replacement value goes down.
It is costing me far more to insure the car, than it costs to run it.
I daren't just have third party because that would be tempting fate, and replacement would be too expensive.
I need the car to visit family out of town twice a year.
Anyone got any sensible alternative suggestions on insurance?

The Monarchs are coming!
It’s critical everyone know that when you have hungry caterpillars later in the season you MUST NOT depend on buying plants for food. You need to plant well in advance! Get plants well established before those first butterflies return. Buy or grow twice as many as you’ll think you need – you can keep some out of reach of the monarchs. Keep successive plants growing and flourishing.

I have plants in Henderson Valley the size of small shrubs. They have been growing for several years. I have to cut them back! I know of two people in Dunedin that have plants lasting for more than one year. Their plants are growing in a warm, sheltered part of the garden. So possibly, in cooler areas, you could get plants going this year which you can keep for later years?

If you are buying seed, now is the time to buy a packet or two and get the seedlings established in pots indoors.

With the 75+ population projected to double in 20 years’ time, it’s more important than ever to choose a retirement village that is equipped to support you when you’re fully independent as well as if you need care.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.
