Does anyone have any excess sand (from an old sand pit maybe), or gravel I could have so I can fill in the end of my driveway? It's a veritable bog when it rains, while the grandkids love splashing mud everywhere I can't get past it with clean shoes.

It's a veritable bog when it rains, while the grandkids love splashing mud everywhere I can't get past it with clean shoes. I could make you a cake in return for the trip, or a batch of scones (sweet or cheese), or biscuits if that's your preference. Please and thank you in advance, hit me up!

The 28-year-old mum to a four-month old is so desperate she is seriously considering pulling the rest of her healthy teeth from her upper mouth to be outfitted with dentures. That option is much cheaper than getting root canal surgery.

Heretaunga where sports stars are renowned
World class institute where talent is found.
From rugby to cricket, the athletes train
Pushing themselves to achieve the highest gain.
Trentham, famous for its racing ground
Where horses gallop with speed unbound.
A movie production complex adds to the fame
Creating masterpieces with talent and game.
Military encampment with soldiers in line
Protecting the country with courage and shine.
Trentham Park is a great green memorial
Activities for people and dogs that is memorable.
Growing commercial importance with businesses around
Making progress with developments profound.
And when the day is done and the sun settles low
Heretaunga and Trentham are both stealing the show.

On a wet day after many wet days. Harcourt Park couldn't cope with the challenge and
parts of it became a quagmire through vehicles which were allowed to sink into hitherto lovely grassed areas and the pounding feet of hundreds of competitors and spectators.
Pity the contractors who will have to clean up the mess and somehow eventually get Harcourt Park back to its best.
It may take months.

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.
