We rely on the kindness and generosity of our neighbours. At present, we have a unprecedented demand for our services. We require a larger storage shed ideally close to central New Plymouth. The catch is, we are not able to pay for it. Any money we get, goes into buying more household items for people in need. Is there a storage shed not being used, that is safe and secure, that is easy to get in and out of, 5 - 7 days a week.

Goodday! I hope you are all balancing the school holidays and work and housekeeping with grace 😉

I would like to share my facebook group for working mothers, where I offer a weekly relevant topic online via a FB live, on how to support our health and wellbeing naturally.

It is focused on supporting working mothers who may have a little too much on their plates, and provides easy tips and tricks and contextual information to help make life a tad less stressful.

We talk about nutrients, we talk about breathing techniques, we talk about flower essences, we talk about food intolerances, etc etc.

Tonight at 7.30pm, I'll be talking about a simple way to help reduce stress, using a few essential oils, so if you are interested, or you know working mums that are just in need of some support for free, let them join the group and enjoy the raft of Naturopathic options to support their wellness.
It is free and has no strings attached, just answer the 3 questions to join, to make sure I know you are in the right place with the topics discussed.🌏💚www.facebook.com...

A full life for Helen is one that is surrounded by family. When she first moved to the village, Helen’s husband John was being cared for elsewhere. Now that he is living at the same village, it brings Helen and her family so much happiness and reassurance.

Recycling

However he noticed that a good deal of what had fallen out was not actually recyclable through the bin. An example was, lots of small plastic packets from sweets or collectable cards, that should get collected up as soft plastic, to be taken to Countdown Supermarket. There were also some plastic inserts from packaging that did not have a recycle number 1,2,5 or 6, they should be in the rubbish bin. I think people are trying hard to do the right thing, but getting confused about what goes where. I found out recently that you can recycle tetra packs by washing and drying and collecting them up to go to the Junction (leave the lids on).
I have heard that Fitzroy in particular is not doing very well at getting the right recycling in the right place - I think we can do better if we help each other to know what is recyclable and where it should go.
