Stuff and The Press are investigating the impact retirement can have on mental health.

While retirement is typically a happy, relaxing time of life, Age Concern says it can be very difficult for some as they experience a sense of loss, self worth and a lack of purpose.

We understand this is a sensitive topic, but we want to chat with a retiree who has initially struggled with retirement and may have felt these, or similar emotions.

If you're happy to share your experience please contact reporter Laura Baker by phone 03 943 2837 or email laura.baker@fairfaxmedia.co.nz

Mounting a TV

Deejay from Halswell

Hey guys,
Does anyone on here have a steel framed house (or house built by golden homes) and have a TV mounted to the wall? Or likewise, have knowledge in this area and could potentially advise whether we can and how to mount in a steel framed house?

Curious-to-mount-a- tv neighbour 😊
