With the US tariffs ramping up and the stock market taking a hit, many are noticing a change in their Kiwisaver amounts.
If you've had a peek at your Kiwisaver balance since, have you seen it decrease?
The Easter Show is for kids. We went to the Easter Show today, two adults. $15 parking at three carparks. We got a free one in a side street. $10 entry per person was ok... until there was nothing to see. No programme... because there is nothing to see!

We got a free one in a side street. $10 entry per person was ok... until there was nothing to see. No programme... because there is nothing to see! There was a sheep herder, a couple of goats, a Shetland pony and an ass. A loud 4 wheel monster pick up you pay to ride on just made noise. Some bmx riders, that's it. No more Lumberjack show. No more art gallery which used to be a highlight. My highlight was the big white goat wearing a fedora. To see the Dinosaur exhibit, another $10 so didn't bother. The Market... a very small space with some Alpaca ponchos etc., therapeutic beds, two stands of massage chairs, some liquers, crochet bits n bobs, poor selection of home grown plants. The whole complex used to be filled with exhibits of companies selling their wares, gimmicks, unique items. Rides in the same area you have to pay for, carnival rides in the amusement park area you pay for. Hot chips $7 a cup, bbq taste box $30. It was full of fries and coleslaw (filler) with a few bits of meat on top. Tasted good though. Candy floss pre packed. Floss on stick dissolved before my eyes. Indoor cafes pretty good. The big arena that used to house livestock and horse dressage is no longer. Nothing but food and rides. Complete disgrace from days gone by. Best Easter Shows ever 40+ years ago. Will never ever go again! Be warned.

From Monday 28 April until Friday 9 May, we’ll be rebuilding the road between Wood Street and Jellicoe Street. These works will result in a significantly improved state highway through Greytown, requiring fewer repairs and less maintenance in the future.

These works will result in a significantly improved state highway through Greytown, requiring fewer repairs and less maintenance in the future.
There will be a 24/7 northbound detour via Humphries Street, West Street and North Street while we’re doing these works. Southbound traffic can travel through at a reduced speed. There’ll be no carparks on the majority of Main Street, however businesses are still open, with full pedestrian access available. We encourage you to park on nearby streets such as West Street.
