Did you hear about this ramraid in Hamilton's north?
Ram raids in Waikato may be dropping overall but that didn’t stop New World Rototuna falling victim to such an attack for the first time early on Sunday morning.
Checkout manager Greg Jardim said it appeared about half a dozen youths had first broken in and then gone back to get a car so they could ram the tobacco container.

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? Share your thoughts below.

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.
