I'm Jo and I recently started a bookkeeping business for NZ tradies. After working as a Business Banking Manager for one of the big NZ banks, I realised there were so many business owners out there who don't have the time or knowledge to manage their finances, understand if their jobs are profitable and how much money they are making after expenses!
I'm on a mission to change that so if you know of any tradies who could use some help with their accounts, please give them my details. I'm happy to have a chat and see if I can assist.
Thanks so much to everyone who has supported me so far! Hope you all have a fabulous week :)
Looking for some old Art Easels or Blackboards, Whiteboards, Cork Boards that you are no longer using. Just want them to place display boards on. Thanks Davina
This strimmer ( lawn edger) is in great order. It has a command feed bar . It is much better than your average edger. Instruction book included. Pick up is in Redwood.

We'd be keen to hear from those of you who had to cancel an overseas trip due to Covid-19 and holidayed in New Zealand instead. How did you find your NZ trip? Was it better or worse than you expected? Did you enjoy it as much as you think you would have enjoyed your overseas holiday? And did it change your views about holidaying domestically?
Feel free to comment below or message me directly. Please remember your comments may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want them to be. Thank you.

The law says public holidays exist to observe days of “national, religious, or cultural significance”, but most of our holidays aren’t expressly Kiwi.
We’re overdue the creation of a unifying holiday that honours Aotearoa’s past and celebrates New Zealand’s future. Matariki is that holiday.

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

Employers could offer the option: For those who have a cultural preference - they elect their chosen day, for those who have a chilly preference and prefer the thrills of frozen water, for those who prefer a sweltering day immersed in hot water, their option - but that would be common sense so fat chance of that happening..
ps On my last holiday I broke my arm in two places so my doctor advised me to not visit those places again. Cheers all.

The children with cavities had an average of six teeth that were either decayed, already pulled out or repaired with a filling – that’s 30 per cent of their 20 baby teeth.
The appalling figures have led to renewed pleas to fluoridate Christchurch’s water and for “grazing” eating habits to change.

Hi neighbours,
From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.
If you have an project that you'd like to show off – whether you’ve given something a fresh coat of paint or entirely changed its use – enter it into Resene's Upcycling Awards on Neighbourly here. Entries close at midnight on August 2, 2020. Four great prizes worth $500 are up for grabs: a $200 Resene voucher and a $300 Prezzy card.

The frogs in Hagley Park, (wonder why we never see UFO's nowadays? cellphones are a great deterrent?). Perhaps they were worried at being hit by those disc golf frisbees - saw one in Queensberry Park yesterday, or maybe it was a UFO I couldn't be sure.

Childrens dentistry is another Neighbourly topic at the moment and if the council doesn't fix the road cavities soon, I wouldn't be surprised to see an adult "pothole golf" appearing as the latest craze. No great outlay on clothes, just a 'high visibility jacket', distance to golf course - right outside your gate, number of holes replaced by 'round the block' and back home to a hot coffee or a more spirited beverage of your choice, handicaps - traffic - well play it by torchlight when there aren't too many 4 wheel critters on the loose attacking peoples fences.
So if anyone wants to contribute or comment to this post I place no hijacking or hijilling restrictions nor do I apologise for drawing your attention to HIJEAN as this is a sanatised post. My friend felt it was better that he didn't appear as some people are very sensitive to his humourous outlook on life.
ps the frogs were last seen at the Ellerslie Flower Show and the lack of anything to fill that vacancy is another cavity in our heritage..
Cheers all and looking forward to those holiday selfies. Not politically correct to say 'holy day' or any politicising comments.
