Daylight saving is coming to an end for another year, which means an extra hour of sleep for many
Here's everything you need to know.

=============================
When does daylight saving end in New Zealand?
Daylight saving time ends every year at 3am on the first Sunday in April.
That means it ends this year at 3am on Sunday, April 7.
Do the clocks go forward or back?
That's right, clocks go back for the winter, from 3am to 2am.
That means you get an extra hour's sleep-in and it won't be as dark when you wake up in the morning - at least for a while.
It also means the sun will go down an hour earlier in the evening, so if you've got outside chores to complete, get them done faster.
How do I change the time on my phone?
You probably won't need to, because most smart phones will adjust to time zones automatically.
Here's how to check if your smartphone does that:
Android: Go into the clock app, tap more and then go into settings. Then go into change date and time, select set time zone automatically and then select use location to set time zone.
iPhone: Open settings, select general, to go date & time and make sure set automatically is turned on
Samsung: Open settings, go to general management, select date and time and then make sure automatic date and time is turned on. This should mean your phone will automatically reflect the time depending on where you are.
Why do we have daylight saving?
Because the Earth is on a tilt (of about 23 degrees, for those curious), we are exposed to more sun during summer and less during winter.
That means the days are longer during the warmer months and shorter in the colder months.
Daylight saving is intended to make the most of those long daylight hours. It means an extra hour of light on summer evenings, rather than super early in the mornings when hardly anyone is awake to enjoy it.
How long have we been doing this?
New Zealand first observed daylight saving in 1927.
However, the dates that clocks went forward and back, and the amount of time they were changed, varied over the following years.
In 1941, daylight saving was extended year-round under emergency regulations to help save energy during World War II.
Five years later, daylight saving time (or summer time as it was then known) was adopted as standard time, effectively discontinuing daylight saving.
In 1975, daylight saving was introduced again.
It was extended to its current dates — from the last Sunday in September to the first Sunday in April — in 2007.
When will daylight saving time start again?
Clocks will go forward one hour at 2am on Sunday, September, 29.
Do other countries observe daylight saving?
They do, but they're in the minority. About two thirds of the world's countries do not change their clocks throughout the year, according to Pew Research.
The practice is most popular in Europe, where 37 out of 44 countries observe daylight saving, and it's also observed in parts of North America, Latin America and Australia.
Egypt is the only African nation with daylight saving after bringing it back in 2023.
Countries close to the equator do not usually change their clocks as the length of their days does not vary enough throughout the year to justify it.
What if I'm working when the time changes?
The rules around getting paid for working during daylight saving time are set out in the Time Act 1974.
It says that if you're working when clocks go back an hour, you are entitled to be paid for that extra hour.
For example, if your shift started at 10pm and finishes at 6am, you will have actually worked nine hours and must be paid for nine hours of work.
If you're working on 29 September when the clocks go forward, you are still entitled to be paid for your normal hours. In this instance, a 10pm-6am shift will only mean seven hours of work, but you must be paid for eight.
I've changed the clock on my microwave — what next?
Daylight saving is a good time to check the batteries on your smoke alarm by pushing the test button to sound the alarm.
Check the alarm's expiry date too — most last a maximum of 10 years — and give the cover a clean to avoid false alarms from dust buildup.

Tools and equipment can be a big investment for a contractor or tradie
You need to keep your investment secure but at the same time have the right tools when you need them. You might be between jobs and your stuff is taking up room at home or in the workshop you could be using for something else.

Speaking of home, you neighbour's van was broken into last week and he lost his tools and a lot of materials that will take time to replace. Plus you cant park it outside your house anymore as your street looks like Wilson Parking.
Another issue is that you work on several different projects during the day and it takes a long time to drive back to base to pick up the materials and right tools for the next job.
Where Self Storage Comes In.
Kiwi self Storage has five storage facilities in Auckland and Wellington. Our facilities are secure, dry and conveniently located close to major highways or roads. There are several ways that renting a storage unit can be the right move for you:
- Your tools and business inventory is safely secured behind electric fences with coded gate entry and CCTV monitoring. No more worry about items left in your van or on site overnight.
- You can store at a facility that is centrally located compared to where you work, meaning you can easily come back to pick up more materials or tools during the day without wasting time in traffic.
- Easy access with undercover loading and unloading
- Have materials or items couriered to your unit (conditions apply)
- You have full control over access to your unit - you provide the padlock
- You can scale the unit size up or down at any time to match the needs of your business
- You can install shelving to make the most of your unit.
- After one month you are only charged on a daily basis. Simply provide notice if you wish to move out.
- Insurance available
To find out more contact us on 0800 58 57 56 to speak to our helpful staff. You can arrange to come in and discuss your needs with them and have a look around our facilities. Or have a look at our website and contact us for an easy quote.

3x Fleece Sweaters for 2-3 year old (my 1 year old wore it)
Used only once or twice. Purchased from Decathlon in Singapore. The price is for 3 pcs.
Maternity and Nursing Dress
Beautiful maternity dress with nursing access. The size is L, but I think in New Zealand, this should be S. Please refer to the measurement in the photos.
Smiggle Toddler Pull Bag
This Smiggle toddler pull bag is almost new! My girl just learned to walk when we received this as a gift. It was so much fun! Please note that this doesn't come with straps for a backpack. We did not write anything in the name label so it can also be purchased as a gift.

My name is Katerina and I am currently working towards a Masters Thesis in Psychology at the University of Auckland. I am in the final stretch on my thesis and still in need of a few people for my research:
- aged 45-60
- native English speakers
- no history of clinical anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc.
- not on mood enhancing medication
- no history of trauma to the brain
- no history of drug or alcohol abuse
We are looking to find out how a large sample of healthy New Zealanders perform on a small number of tasks involving social cognition (understanding what other people are thinking and feeling) and executive function (planning and problem-solving) and on measures of well-being and social connectedness. This will provide information about the normal range of performance and may provide a useful comparison in future studies involving people with neurological problems.
The study will take no longer than 1 hour of your time and you will receive a $20 Countdown voucher for participation. The study will take place at the School of Psychology, Science Centre, 23 Symonds St.
If you are interested, please email me at eger856@aucklanduni.ac.nz with a contact number and I can arrange a call to check eligibility and provide more information.
Thank you for your interest and time in reading this post!
