Exciting times
With the end of winter and springs new life changes, things are certainly moving forward in Elusions house hold.
We couldn't be more proud of our 16 year old who had her first ball recently and looked amazing! The same week she also nailed her learners licence and is on the count down to her trip to Germany CGHS, only 4 weeks now to go it all seams a little unreal.
Her last fundraising drive is on at the moment with stainless steel pegs. Her mum is definitely ready for a break from fundraising.
Back to the subject of the learners, we are keen that she learns in a manual so have started to keep an eye out for a cheap but reliable run around. It wouldn't be the best look to see Patricks Ute with all the signwriting bunny hopping around town. If anyone knows of one coming up over the next few months we would love it if you kept us in mind.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
