I have lost my home and job due to a shoulder injury which has actually come right. I live at my job. I am in urgent need of a sleepout, accomodation in return for work or just some cheap accommodation. I have 14 days to vacate and have a wee bichon x and am a tidy quiet mature 48 year old. Can anyone please help?

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Eketahuna Country Meats is setting up a milk processing plant with plans to bring glass bottles of the good stuff to Wellington markets, and possibly doorsteps.
The producer already has a presence at three of the capital's most popular weekend markets and has just started a campaign to gauge demand for household delivery of farm fresh milk. Are you interested?
The milk will be pasteurised, but will not be homogenised, so it will retain the creamy top that traditional full cream milk has. It is estimate the milk with sell in glass bottles at $3.50 a litre, and be slightly cheaper if customers bring in their own clean bottles to be filled. Read more here.
