With universities starting up last week, so brings first-time flatters trying their hand at cooking for the first time. In 2020, 27% of a household’s weekly budget was spent on takeaways so it’s no wonder that cooking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

I am no longer looking in from the outside

I had a sense of isolation and loneliness which had been with me from childhood. As an overweight child I went on to be an obese adult.

I suffered from massive anxiety and later on in life with depression. If asked how I was I would reply 'fine', but inside felt dreadful. I recall feeling depressed in my late teens and later had postnatal depression with the births of my children. The amounts I was eating at these times increased and so did my weight - the more I ate, the worse I felt; the worse I felt, the more I ate.

CENSUS

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

We have just received a second census form, with different code than the first.
Do we have to fill both in on line.
With the floods in the North Island - and with so many people leaving it to the last minute to fill their digital forms on the 7th MARCH I expect a huge avalanche of frustration.

I expect a huge consensus will claim this census will be a disaster, but I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once then found I wasn't wrong. Confusing isn't it.
