I am feeling sad to post this. Human being in a way!!
I went to my course & left the wallet at home ( mummy's brain, my bad ) this morning. It could be alright I dont need to spend anything.I thought.
Half of the day went well. I got unexpected call fr my boy's school to tell me that he got hurt by jamming his fingers & unsettle, no signs of injury just bruise. I let them know that I were out of town, coulnd be back straight away. They said OK & gave him an other 10 munites.
I couldnt focus anymore after that at class but decided leaving anyway. At the carpark I rang them. They said he was Ok & got back to class happily. Whoop..it was good. I decided keep going , but planned stopping at Farmers on the way instead. Bugger, I had no wallet. I arranged to borrow fm my husband who works in town & would meet him at Farmers. Ok that' was sorted.
I ve been through all the trouble to find car park. None left & so many cars go round and round. I moved to the building next to the Hospice & spotted one spot. Yeh. Parked the car. OH NO. Couldnt purchase the ticket , no money. I didnt realise it now. I were exhausted.
What would I do? couldnt leave the car but just go home. He was waiting & needed to get back to work. Is anyone kind enough to give away 50c-1$. It took me awhile to be brave for asking. The only chance that I still could made. You never know until you try. What would you think?
A old couple approached me, walking forward to the ticket machine. I smiled but really hesitated. The man asked "Were you OK" I replied I were fine,thank you but very shied I asked quietly. Did you have any coins? The lady kept walking & answered "Yes I had, but for me sorry". she walked away !!!.
Oh men. I felt so embarrassed, pity....not much differrent as if I were a begger. Did I just do something really bad? which I wouldnt have should. Why would she / he just bare one second, stopped & talked to me? The way she did just so cold, looklike it was none of her business, stay away from them. I felt that way anyways.
We all human being, making mistake...I did. This case was all my fault because forget wallet. Week ago I felt greatful because I found my wallet from the supermarket. Today, I felt opposite...
Not sure what would you do if you were in my position or you were in the lady position? I just wish we should be sensitive & nice to people as much as we could. Sometimes I left carpack, if my ticket still had valid time, I passed to next driver. They said oh, thank you...I feel please for that.

What a great idea. Many parents will know first hand just how expensive these events can be. Would be great to see other schools follow the same concept. What do you think?

Almost every young woman dreams of dressing up to attend a school ball. It's a magical moment, but sadly it's an expensive affair and not all girls get the chance to attend.
This year - thanks ...

Contractors are carrying out repairs to a collapsed sewer main in Porowini Ave West, from 6am Sunday 7th of May to 7pm Sunday 14th of May.

No traffic will be able to exit Porowinin Ave on to Maunu Rd during the works, however traffic on Maunu Rd will be able to enter Porowini Ave as per normal. Porowinin Ave West will be accessible to light commercial vehicles and cars from the Tarewa Rd end only, they will need to exit again via the entry point e.g. Tarewa/Porowini intersection. Note: the route will not suit large truck and trailer units as there will be insufficient turning room to get them back out.
The work needs to be done before more damage occurs and a spill results, the contractor has made resources available and we wish to take advantage of the favourable weather over the next week. Sorry for the inconvenience and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

A visitor to Whangarei stopped at the I-Site over the long weekend and took these pictures of the rubbish bins overflowing and freedom campers drying their washing. Do you think this is an acceptable look for one of the gateways for people travelling into Whangarei?
