PERSONAL CARER
I urgently need a casuał Personal Carer to assist me with my morning routine Tuesday to Friday, when my other Carer is unavailable, which is quite often at the moment, due unforseen circumstances.
This includes hoisting out of bed, toileting, showering, dressing, passive leg stretches, making me glam to face the day and getting my breakfast / lunch (which is my main meal). It also includes putting me to bed two evenings a week (Monday and Thursday) and a morning shift on a Saturday once every three months. (Paid separately). Some housework is included. No heavy lifting involved. Full training will be given. Oh, and by the way my husband lives with me! We are both retired, but always busy!!
Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
