Halloween was not a thing when I was young and I do not see what is so delightful about it. We have Guy Fawkes night in another few days, surely that is enough? The present craze about Halloween is, in my view, a marketing opportunity merchants seized on.

I take no pleasure in having children practically breaking my door down, even trying to open it, holding a bulging sack of goodies and expecting more! Children I never see the rest of the year. I know some parents think its fun but not all of us do. Please make sure your children have some inkling of manners and when "enough is enough". I resent feeling like a prisoner in my own home, keeping all the lights off etc. Even that does not deter the sweet children who I can only see as greedy and rude. Apart from anything else, I live on a pension and don't want to shell out for heaps of sweets to give away to unknown people.

Pay It Forward
Nanogirl believes that science is for everyone, and the Nanogirl Labs team work hard to ensure that tickets to our Nanogirl Live! events are affordable. Despite those efforts, for some New Zealanders, theatre shows like this are still very special events that do not fit within the family budget.
Through our 'Pay-It-Forward' programme, you can help make science and engineering accessible for everyone. For every 'Pay-It-Forward' ticket you purchase, you enable someone who would not otherwise have had the chance to see this live science spectacular to come along. Only available via the Regent Theatre box office.

A house is more than bricks and mortar and a community is more than a boundary on a map; both are full of memories and comfortable connectedness. If your parent is having a tough time making ends meet, but don’t want to sell their home to fund the things they need or want, consider talking to them about releasing some equity in their home with a Heartland Reverse Mortgage.
