In 2023, we had good feedback on securing properties and getting onto the property ladder with a pre-approval.

With the demand for properties continues, we expect 2024 there would be good opportunities for first home buyers to secure their own.

Apple Watch

Markus from Green Bay

After a little bit of a health scare last September I decided I need to look after myself a bit better. And last week I finally found two fairly recent and affordable Apple Watches from a Pawn shop to keep tabs on our pulse, oxygen level, and activity.

After a little bit of a health scare last September I decided I need to look after myself a bit better. And last week I finally found two fairly recent and affordable Apple Watches from a Pawn shop to keep tabs on our pulse, oxygen level, and activity.

Turns out my wife isn’t a watch person - still made her wear it for a day so we got a baseline record of her pulse range for the future. Anyway, if she’s not using it then no point in keeping it.

So if anyone is interested in my wife‘s Apple Watch 7 41mm GPS send me a message. It's in very good condition and I'm only selling it as I had got another one myself (and I AM a watch person). Has pretty much the same sensors as latest Series 9 that came out before Xmas except no sensor for body temperature. Will be reset to factory settings and I’m happy to help with the setup. Pickup in Green Bay (we are opposite Green Bay High School).

Price: $349

Not all Ryman residents can claim viral internet sensation status – but Patrick Hogan Retirement Village’s Doug Lineham sure can!

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.

The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!

What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.

What you can and cannot put in kerbside recycling from February

Aucklanders are being urged to brush up on their recycling etiquette as new national standards come into effect at the beginning of next month.
Identical guidelines for what can and cannot be put into kerbside recycling bins across the country are due to come into force on February 1. Previously, local councils had different criteria for what recycling was accepted.
Items that will be accepted in kerbside recycling bins from February 1 include:
====================================================
Glass bottles and jars
Paper and cardboard
Plastic bottles, trays, and containers (grades 1, 2 and 5 only)
Tin, steel and aluminium cans
There are also some new items that will be excluded from February 1:
===================================================
Items less than 50mm (e.g caps, small cosmetic and spice containers)
Aerosol cans (steel and aluminium)
Liquid paperboard (Tetrapak and juice boxes)
Plastics 3, 4, 6 and 7
Aluminium foil and trays
All lids
Items over 4 litres
===============
Councillor Richard Hills encouraged Aucklanders to familiarise themselves with these new guidelines.
“By only putting in the right recyclable items into our bins, we are helping increase the quality of materials collected for recycling, which in turn reduces disposal costs.”
Hills, who is the chair of the Planning, Environment and Parks committee, said that this change is another important step along the path to Auckland Council's goal of zero waste by 2040.
“Reducing the use of single use items is the best way to reduce waste, following that, it is recycling right.”
The new guidelines also serve as a reminder of the issue of recycling contamination in Auckland.
Nearly a quarter of the material collected in Auckland’s kerbside recycling is contaminated with non-recyclable items, costing ratepayers an extra $3m a year in sorting and disposal.
Materials that show up in bins include food; textiles, carpets and clothes; nappies, medical waste and garden waste; soft plastic and plastic bags; bagged recycling and rubbish, and lithium-ion batteries and appliances.
For more information on the new recycling guidelines, see the Auckland Council website.
