Crocs
Further to the poll about crocs. I have always thought they were ugly but since I have had arthritis and find it difficult to get in and out of gumboots etc. I started looking at what would be easy to put on that weren't slides or jandals.
I bought some crocs as they would be ideal for wearing in the garden. As I have to get one shoe raised I got the left croc raised. Mine came with a lining as well. They have made my life so much easier. They keep me balanced when walking and working outside because they have a wide sole. I wouldn't wear them away from home but would be ok wearing them to the beach. I'm pleased I bought them and they have made it much easier for me to get around outside.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
