How to cut down your power bill!

Electric Kiwi

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Imagine going to the dentist every day for 40 years

Reporter Northern Outlook

It is virtually unheard of these days to keep the same job for four years, let alone four decades, which means dental receptionist Joan Campbell must be a rare breed.

I have to return to the North Island, and unfortunately cannot take my 10 y.o. Huntaway X with me.
I am looking for a good, loving home for her. Ideally a middle aged couple.
All her inoculations are up to date,
She is nervous around skateboards, and bicycles. But loves swimming, or just going for walks and chasing sticks.
She is of a slightly nervous disposition, but loves cuddles and being petted.
If you are interested in meeting Freya, please ring me on 021 747439 to arrange a meeting at your house. So you can meet to see if there is a bond.
