Turn downsizing stress into strength

The Team from Ryman Northwood Retirement Village

Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnโ€™t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

MISSING CAT

Freya from Ilam

Hey neighbours,

Koco my black cat is missing, from Ilam Road. It's been 11 days now, since 12/11/24. She's definitely not under the house or hiding anywhere and we've done everything we can to bring her home at this stage, but will always appreciate advice or other ideas. Before she went missing she was coming home and eating and cuddling etc every day, morning, night, and throughout. If anyone sees her anywhere we'd really appreciate a message :) Thank you so much!
-She's microchipped, three years old, wearing (could have lost) a red studded collar with my number and her name attached to a red heart name tag.
We really miss her ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ’”
