A Life Beyond Food and Addiction

I don’t remember being obsessed with food when I was very young, the way I was to become. I remember starting to eat at any opportunity I could get. I would arrive home early at meal times to check what was in the pans. Saturday afternoons were spent baking, while my friends were out shopping. I went on to develop a love for raw cake batter and butter icing and I would make it up when I was desperate for food. Once I started getting money, I would buy sweets and secretly eat them. Meal times were awful, I never felt fulfilled.

Office Max decline to sell masks despite being in stock online

Office Max have P2 masks in stock, online in their Auckland Warehouse but because they are not coming out of their South Island warehouse will not sell to anywhere in the South Island from Auckland despite one being willing to pay freight which is clearly indicated on their site. Absolutely nothing on their web site to advise of this discriminative practice to us South Islanders. Took 2 phone calls to their 0800 # to clarify with the first operator hanging up on me when I suggested this was not fair or equitable.

Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?
