Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

The “glug, glug, glug” of dodgy drain pipes and a lingering odour at Lisa Tamaki’s Kāinga Ora property is a nightmare the Hamilton great-grandmother just can’t avoid.

For weeks, an ailing pipe issue at the rear of the pensioner’s 1960s state house has left a mix of sewage and soap scum from backed up pipes bubbling into her backyard in the height of summer.

While Kāinga Ora says work is underway to address the issue, Tamaki has had weeks of a lingering stench and keeping her four-year-old great-grandson, Manawa, who lives with her, out of the backyard.
