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.

Construction is now under way at the site, on the corner of Edward and Ashley streets, for what will be the town’s second NPD self-service station.
Yet despite the development being a stone’s throw from several residential properties on both streets, only the two immediate neighbours were considered an affected party. Read more here.

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.

My name is Laetitia, more easily pronounced as La-teach-a. I am a creative educator who is passionate about helping children navigate challenges in their learning. My philosophy has driven my career pathway of 20 years in the classroom, consultancy and in research to design and create a new approach in teaching and learning.
Today, I have launched my website www.actionstationslearning.com... offering families FREE bite size tutorials on how we learn, ways to motivate learning and valuable information designed to empower you and your child’s success in literacy and numeracy.
You can also CONNECT with others to collaborate, share, inspire or ask your questions about how to support your child’s learning at home.
Action Stations Learning is a different approach to learning literacy and numeracy that works with the brain through movement, choice, and focusing on connections. Created for primary school children but also to ignite learning minds in older children.
We are just new and growing daily but would love for you to visit;

I got a phone call (kiwi voice), said they were the bank and someone had drawn out $1500.00 on my credit card. Would I please push 1. In doing so a man came on the line and repeated what the woman told me. He then asked me the balance on my credit card, as I was sitting at the computer doing banking and could see nothing pending I smelt a rat so I told him $2.00, he then swore at me and hung up. The number was 00006143847293. They are at it again, Kiwi style. BE CAREFUL!!!!! Bank accounts not computers, Kiwi voices not foreigners.
