Help with dumping clean rubbish - $150-$200 + $50 giftcard (Warehouse).
Two queen mattresses, 4 pillows and assorted bedding. Being disabled I need someone that will remove the items from the bedroom and also assist me to unpack a new vacuum packed mattress. I can pay and estimate the job will take 30 minutes. Then dumping on top of that. The items are clean but now unusable. You will need a truck or trailer or something. I am waiting on some of the new items to arrive so am looking at late next week. Or recommendations of a very friendly service. I can afford to pay $150-$200, payment will need to be via bank transfer, plus a $50 Warehouse giftcard I won in an online draw, for doing a survey. I don't get out to shop now and can't use the card online.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️
As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.
With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
