Diets and fasting never stopped me bingeing and vomiting

There was never a time I did not have a fascination for food. I regularly stole money and stole food thinking that it was normal to want to eat all the time. Many people must have gone without milk when I pinched the coins out of the milk bottles of people in my street, I would rush to the dairy and then have the agony of deciding what to buy. When I left home and got my first job, my very first pay went on packets of bite-sized chocolate bars which were hidden under my bed.

New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

Speed limits on vast chunks of Christchurch roads will drop to 30 or 40kph - and some to even 10kph - under a new city council proposal to improve safety.

The existing 60kph speed limits on main roads like Memorial Ave, Aldwins Rd, Linwood Ave and Blenheim Rd could also be dumped in favour of new 50kph limits.

The proposals feature in Christchurch City Council’s draft Safer Speed Plan, released for public consultation on Monday.
