Bring a can of food into your local Resene owned ColorShop and you can swap it for a Resene testpot*!
Every can of food you donate means you save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.60 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
We'll donate every item you bring in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks and other community foodbanks.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.

I am after adivce on where to go for affordable insurance for over 50 year olds ,can someone tell me who to go through for insurance which is more affordable for House insurance and life,sickness,and permanent ,temporary disability insurance cover.
i am with tower for my house and think that they are asking too much for insurance and are with life direct (or life one i'm not too sure)
They are my life,sickness,and permanent and temporary insurance and are crippling my exspenses very badly with what they charge.
Help and advice very much appreciated

However, in response to community feedback, it has changed the road closure times and days, says NZ Transport Agency System Manager, Steve Mutton.
The new plan is to close the road for four days at a time, instead of three.
The first closure, which is dependent on dry weather, will take place on:
Saturday, 24 February
Sunday 25 February
Monday 26 February
Tuesday 27 February.
On each day, the road will be:
Closed at 8:30am
Open 4pm–5pm
Closed 5pm–8pm.

And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)
If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.

Lack of sleep has a negative impact on the health and development of the child to a significant extent, inhibiting their ability to deal with common illness, making them hyperactive, and giving rise to other associated health issues as they reach the adult life.

For years I have as we have told to do I have taken the lids off my bottles but lately every time I pick up my bin there are all the lids on the grass under it or in the gutter, I have checked and they are able to be recycled so why do they not take them?

There are a few unlucky people who are terminally ill and suffering terribly. They are not allowed to end their life and anybody helping them will be prosecuted. Then there are those, like this little 9-year-old, who are also terminally ill, but they want to live. She could be treated and her life could be saved, but the law does not allow it.
Please click the link and sign a petition to amend this law, so an exception can be made for compassionate use.
