Have you ever slipped on a banana skin?
A Neighbourly member woman is warning that slipping on a banana skin is no joke, after serious injuries from a slip left her in treatment for over a year.
Elizabeth van Wyk, from Takapuna, was pushing a trolley in the carpark of her local supermarket on Valentine's Day 2018 when she took a tumble. The culprit that caused her slip? A single rogue banana skin. You can read her story here.
Has something like this happened to you before? Do you think supermarkets should take more care to prevent these kinds of injuries?

Help Needed: Peat, Straw, and Moisture Control for Tiger Worms in Castor Bay
Hello, neighbors! I’m in Castor Bay and currently caring for my tiger worms. I’ve encountered some moisture issues and am looking for materials like peat, straw, or anything that can help with moisture absorption. I’d also appreciate any advice on preventing clogging in the drainage pipe to ensure proper drainage. If anyone has extra peat, straw, or can share some helpful tips, I’d be really grateful! Thank you so much for your support, especially during the holiday season
Best wishes,
Diana
