Daylight saving comes to an end on Sunday morning, so don’t forget to change your clocks back one hour. Even though the days are growing shorter and the nights longer, there is still time to get out and about to meet with friends and acquaintances. Today's eNewsletter lists a number of pop-up hubs for seniors throughout the Wellington Region with morning/afternoon tea or coffee or light lunch, where you can have a cuppa and a bit of a chin wag with old and new friends. See you there..

So we’ve just announced our 5th fee cut in 5 years. From 1 April, we’re lowering our total fund charge to 0.30% across our Conservative, Balanced and Growth KiwiSaver Funds and our diversified investment funds. Says Sam Stubbs, Simplicity MD: “Being a KiwiSaver manager involves huge economies of scale. Fee cuts in our industry should be frequent, but they aren’t.”
Simplicity believes in passing on the benefits of scale to our members – and we’re on track for further fee cuts in the future. Check out more details on our blog now!
This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

1. Dust and allergens: Curtains can collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time. If you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma, it is especially important to clean your curtains regularly to prevent the accumulation of allergens that can trigger symptoms.
2. Stains and spills: Curtains can also become stained or soiled from spills, pet hair, or everyday use. Regular cleaning can help remove these stains and keep your curtains looking fresh and new.
3. Sun damage: Curtains can also become damaged over time from exposure to sunlight. Regular cleaning can help prevent sun damage and prolong the life of your curtains.
4. Odours: Curtains can also absorb odours from cooking, smoking, or pets. Regular cleaning can help eliminate these odours and keep your home smelling fresh.
However, curtains located in high-traffic areas, such as the living room or kitchen, may require more frequent cleaning, perhaps every three to six months. Curtains made of heavy fabrics, such as velvet or chenille, may also collect more dust and require more frequent cleaning.
In addition to regular cleaning, it is also recommended to vacuum your curtains regularly to remove dust and other particles. This can help to reduce the frequency of deep cleaning and extend the life of your curtains.

If you'd like to meet up with a participant on the English Language Training for Officials programme through Victoria University, see the attached flyer.
Participants, who are government officials from Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Timor-Leste or Vietnam, are paired with a local conversation partner to chat and hopefully meet up once a week while they are here. The aim is to develop the participants' English and their knowledge of New Zealand/Wellington.
Chats can be about anything, but are often about life here/SE Asia, and can be anywhere, but are often in cafes, parks, homes, etc. More details on attached flyer (note the flyer is for the current cohort, not the next [who will focus on resiliance as a theme]).
Whether it’s keeping your garden beds weed-free, trimming hedges to look just perfect, or simply mowing lawns, we work within most budgets to keep your garden looking tidy.
