Easter Weekend is Coming!
Are you thinking about selling your home? Or just ready for a fresh look? Here are some tips you can get done over the upcoming long weekend to get your home looking spic-an-span!
Entrance, entrance, entrance!
First impressions count. Make sure that as soon as you walk in the front door the space is clean, clear and light! A feature painting or fresh flowers give off a great effect.
Clean your house, start one room at a time and get rid of any items that you no longer need/use. If you’re thinking of selling getting rid of old junk will also make the moving process a whole lot easier.
Hide away any leftover clutter from each room or consider putting unused items in storage. Reducing home clutter saves you time, energy, and makes your life less stressful! Everyone has their ideal level of simplicity — what matters most is keeping what’s essential to you, and getting rid of the rest.
• Go further than a standard clean up. Polish up skirting boards, window sills, walls, and get rid of any stains in the carpet (you can hire a rug doctor from the supermarket).
• Ensure your home is odour free- scented candles have a lasting effect and can rid the home of cooking and pet odours.
• Get new light bulbs (especially bright LED lights for the kitchen), Light rooms can make all the difference.
• Hide away electrical cables, distracting clutter can take away from positive qualities.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
