Beware everyone if you see some cheap rose bunches for sale anywhere I just saw two white men (one with a matching blue tracksuit) cutting and bagging up every single rose in the Beverley Park Rose garden and hopping on some electric bikes and taking off.

A damn shame everyone isn’t able to enjoy the roses now and a few selfish people have taken it upon themselves to ruin it for everyone.

Do not buy any cheap roses you see for sale, they are stolen.

To those men, I hope your wives and mothers know their Mother’s Day roses are stolen. Shame on you for ruining it for the rest of us.

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral?

I am no longer looking in from the outside

I had a sense of isolation and loneliness which had been with me from childhood. As an overweight child I went on to be an obese adult.

I suffered from massive anxiety and later on in life with depression. If asked how I was I would reply 'fine', but inside felt dreadful. I recall feeling depressed in my late teens and later had postnatal depression with the births of my children. The amounts I was eating at these times increased and so did my weight - the more I ate, the worse I felt; the worse I felt, the more I ate.
