Hi everyone,

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 :)

Hi everyone, 
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.

A festival of aroha – Let's make Matariki a public holiday in 2021

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Matariki has become a widely accepted festival across the country. Stuff says it's time for a Matariki statutory holiday to mark the occasion.

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.

Here's a wee bit of a throwback to life under lockdown. Check out how this couple in Motueka helped out their neighbours who were new to the area. Have you got an unsung hero in your neighbourhood? You can make your nominations here!

"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."

HOLIDAYS

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.

Nearly 20 per cent of Canterbury’s 5-year-olds have tooth decay, prompting dental experts to call for a radical rethink of the way New Zealand provides oral health care.

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.
