I am looking for places in Orewa that are hiring for a part-time job or anyone needing jobs done. I can do anything; babysitting, pet sitting, dog walking, weeding/gardening, cleaning house, cleaning cars you name it and I'll do it.
I am fundraising to go to Hawaii next year to compete for a dance competition :)
It's nearly a week since school returned with increased traffic on the roads. How are commuters finding the new bus service. Have you returned to diving your car again since the change?

Here are some tips to make sure you and your loved ones are well prepared and stay safe:
1. Check the marine weather forecast before you go out, it could save your life! 58% of boaties already check it. We want the other 42% to make it a habit. MetService New Zealand's Marine App makes it easy.
2. Tests your life jackets. Pull hard on the straps and see if any of them stretch or rip. Check all over for any existing tears in the straps and any cuts or punctures in the life jacket. If yes, do not use the life jacket, dispose of it, and replace it. Always check if it floats before putting them on. Keep in mind kapok life jackets should not be used as they can absorb water and sink, their cotton straps also easily rip! Burn them or bin them, but whatever you do - don't use or resell them.
3. For this year's Safer Boating Week, boaties are being reminded to “Prep, Check, Know” - prepare your boat, check your gear and know the rules before going on the water.
Let's put in the time and effort to make sure there are NO water related accidents or deaths this Labour Day long-weekend! Don't forget to look out for each other and report any concerns you have to local authorities.

After a school holiday trip with the family to Rotorua we noticed a huge discrepancy between fuel prices (in Rotorua it was $2.11 for 91 octane and in Silverdale $2.43) What is your local service station charging? And what do you think about these high prices? And how do you keep driving costs … View moreAfter a school holiday trip with the family to Rotorua we noticed a huge discrepancy between fuel prices (in Rotorua it was $2.11 for 91 octane and in Silverdale $2.43) What is your local service station charging?

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain … View moreWhat do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

At least 11 people have died on the 12km stretch of State Highway 1, between Warkworth and Wellsford, north of Auckland, since 2006. Read more here
