Good Evening neighbours!
Just wondering if anyone happens to have a stash of the brown paper bags you get from the supermarket, or similar sized paper bags lying around that you don’t use 😊. We have 2 x large cabbage trees and one way to get rid of the leaves is to burn them in our fire. Only issue is that I am petrified of spiders and if we just tie them up in bundles and leave them until next winter (or the next time we need a fire), they are a perfect breeding ground for spiders 😬! I have looked on trademe etc but they are very expensive, turns out to be cheaper to purchase them from the supermarket! Thank you very much, I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas 😊
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
