Addictive Eaters Anonymous

Finding the answer

Finding the answer
I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.
I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.

Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon

Get cosy with your whānau

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

I am wanting to speak Māori weekly or every fortnight with a fluent speaker to improve my te reo. I live in Bishopdale so would prefer not to travel far.

I did the three year diploma some years ago at the Wānanga o Aotearoa.

I was a teacher further back of French, German, English, ESOL and reading. Beginner piano is another possibility.

I am happy to give the exchange lessons to someone nominated by the person who speaks Māori with me if that person does not want or need lessons themselves.

Please ring Deborah on 359 3478.
