This might include having to send photos of your remote working space (or having it personally checked off), having to abide by a social media policy, not being able to express political views in social settings, or not being able to have a secondary income.

Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.
We are making 3D animals of all kinds from our workshop which can be used as wine rack, bookshelf, bedside table or just simply a modern novel decor for your home.
Material: Plywood (treated ply upon request).
Price: $65 for the kiwi, $75 for the cat/dog and $95 for the horse/unicorn/reindeer.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.
To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

A gripe here, I am sick of getting unsolicited mail, hand written to 'The Householder' and with my street address on it, coming via NZ Post. It comes from members of the Jehovah Witness, the latest being from 'Kelly' of Box 9081, Bell Block.

It comes from members of the Jehovah Witness, the latest being from 'Kelly' of Box 9081, Bell Block. You are entitled to your views and beliefs, but DON'T try stuffing them down my throat! If I want religion (and I defintely don't!!!!) then I know where to go to find it. This is as bad as the door knocking, cease and desist!

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.
