Hi Auckland,

Put down the oil, wet wipes and nappies, because your city has 'fatbergs' on it's hands! Auckland's sewerage system is choking on 'fatbergs' - which are large, smelly solid masses that cause blockages in the wastewater system. Watercare spends about $1 million to remove them each year.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you know what can and can't be flushed, or tipped down the sink? How do you think this smelly problem could be resolved? Let us know in the replies!

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.

Hello neighbours,
first I want to say a big thanks to all of you who let me to take your dogs to practise my skills at the grooming course this months. It was a real pleasure to meet you and your furry friends :)
I am continuing my advanced course for another moth. I would like to extend my offer to people with breeds like schnauzer, yorkshire terrier, airedale terrier, pomeranian, scotty terrier, pure poodles, border collie, king charles cavalier, cocker spaniel etc. But also other breeds as cross poodles, shitzus/maltese are still needed.
Your dog will get professional full groom, that includes wash, dry, brush, de-sheding ( if needed), clip, ears check, anal glans checked and nails clipped....all for only a small donation of 20$. I usually pick up after 8am and drop off after 3pm. Working with a hands on supervision by master groomers, there is no way your dog will return with a bad cut :) !
If you are interested, please text me on 02108898902 to book your dog in
Thank you
Kind Regards
Jana
