When I got back to my car after some last minute shopping I found an envelope under my wiper. In it was a lovely card with a monetary gift inside. I was very humbled by the kind person who made this who had done this and wished I could have thanked him/her in person. I have the gift still and would now like to pass it on in the spirit of which it was given to me. I will donate it to the Australian bush fire fund. If the person who made my Christmas so special is reading this please accept my grateful thanks. May your New Year be full of happiness and good health.

Over the years I have encountered time and time again the scenario whereby I have requested a quote from a tradie i.e. electrician, plumber, plasterer, painter which, compared to other quotes within the same trade, has been exorbitant.

The jobs I have requested quotations for have been usually smaller jobs. It is well known between tradies that if they don't want the job they will quote an exorbitant price, hoping that the person they are providing the quotation for, won't accept their quote. What is wrong with being more direct and saying "Sorry, I don't want to quote for your job as I'm too busy" instead of hiking up their price????

Changes to the Manukau East electorate received the majority of the objections, with 64. Objectors were concerned the new boundary would separate Panmure from Mt Wellington.
Fifty-eight people said the name Helensville would not represent the communities within the electorate, instead suggesting Atuanui, Mahurangi and Kaipara, or keeping the name Rodney.
Hibiscus Coast was put forward as an alternative name by many of the 21 Whangaparāoa objectors.
Boundary changes to Papakura were mostly supported by 22 people, while 22 objectors to the new Flat Bush electorate suggested adding areas from Botany and Manurewa and calling it Takanini, Flat Bush-Takanini, Manukau South, Manurewa East, Totara or Totara Park.
What do you think about the changes proposed for your electorate?
