Work/Training wanted
Afternoon neighbours!
I have a full-time job but am not awfully fulfilled by it. Like many young men, I have never known (and still don't know) what it is I'd like to do with myself. I studied Social Work for two years but dropped out in the last year of my study to find employment in order to support my upcoming wife and child.
I'm interested in something more physical such as yard work, carpentry, or furniture restoring. As the sole provider for my family I don't have the freedom to go and study (plus I already have 10's of thousands of student debt!), so am looking for ways to gain some experience while I take the time to consider my future.
If anyone has any odd jobs they'd like doing in the evenings and spare Saturdays, please flick me a text on 027 486 9269. I'm after experience and a bit of fitness more than $, so remuneration is nice but not expected or asked for.
I can walk your dogs, do odd jobs, whatever. I am not fit, I'm neither weak nor strong but I'm strong enough, I'm responsible and willing to learn.
I also possess some intelligence so if your children need some after-school tutoring or if you'd like to know a bit more about your computer...
Anything you'd like done, flick me a text and we'll see if we can work something out.
God Bless.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
