This is not the first time this has happened , leaving many people on their own or with small families ( who don't buy big volumes )missing out on what they wanted even though they have bought extra items to get stickers to achieve this. This has happened 3 times that l know of so the management should have sorted this issue before now. I suggest we BOYCOT NEW WORLD for some days ! Then they might get the message that tempting buyers to buy more ( to get stickers) and not delivering the rewards is just not acceptable!

Rainfall was again well below average and it was sunnier than usual. We again escaped the severe weather events of some regions, and local warnings again failed to eventuate, although there were a couple of scary wind storms.
The average daily maximum temperature was 17.1 degrees, only three points below average, largely due to an increase in temperatures towards the end of the month. However, eastern areas of central New Zealand were a degree or more warmer due to the same nor-westerlies raising their temperatures. Blenheim had 11 days over 20 degrees, we had one, that on the last day of the month.
Rainfall of around 70 mm was deficient by about 25 percent; not a good sign for summer.
The lack of sunshine early in the month saw an increase later, with the equivalent of 18 sunny days being above average.
With the wind decreasing and increasing sunshine, November could be a summer month (based on a 20 degree temperature average) as it often is, but with an average of 19.3 degrees over the last decade it cannot be guaranteed.

We decided on a hybrid because of the advantages offered by electric vehicles coupled with the extended range of a petrol motor. It has been a gem of a car - until last weekend when it refused to start. No warning. No alarm. NOTHING. It just would not start. By absolute chance the local AA rep was across the road on a separate call-out. He was extremely efficient, explained the problem, and was able to start our car so we could get home. He then came to our home and fitted a new battery. It transpires that while the car is in the electric mode, the auxiliary battery is unable to be charged. As in conventional cars there is an alternator connected to the petrol motor, but not in electric. So, just a heads-up for hybrid owners: Be aware - save money, petrol and the planet by going electric, and be prepared for a great deal of inconvenience and annoyance and to pay out between $250 and $600 for a replacement auxiliary battery which could (and did) fail with no warning after about 35000 kilometers. Or just use the petrol mode. Maybe I'll just go and buy a horse.

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.
There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.
Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.
