Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

When it comes to challenging someone on the road, it's crucial to exercise caution and consider the following points. Not everyone wants to engage you in a race, and it's important to respect other drivers and prioritise safety.
1. Assess the capability: Pay attention to the width of the tires and if they are street-legal semi-slicks when approaching a vehicle from behind. This can often provide insights into its performance capabilities.

2. Consider the exhaust system: While a loud exhaust system might indicate modified performance, it's important to have a deeper understanding of what you're looking for to avoid being misled.
3. Observe suspension modifications: A dropped suspension is a common modification among racing enthusiasts. Identifying such modifications can give you an idea of the driver's interests and potentially their skill level.
4. Age and experience: When you pull up next to someone, consider the age of the driver. Older drivers, especially Gen-X, may have more experience and resources than younger drivers, making it advisable to avoid unnecessary embarrassment in such cases.
Safety caution: It's important to note that older drivers may have certified and warranted vehicles. Their cars are likely to meet safety standards and have proper maintenance, ensuring their reliability on the road.
Remember, road safety and respect for others should always be a top priority. Drive responsibly and be mindful of other drivers' preferences.

Wanted: an old/broken PROJECTION TV

Kieran from New Brighton

Are you disposing of an old/broken projection TV? I would like to have if and get the Fresnel lens from it.
It needs to be a projection TV, not an LED flat screen. See the website below that shows taking the Fresnel lens from projection TVs to make a huge sun light focusing collector.
