IMMEDIATELY where screen froze and an Indian (yes!) guy, very plausible and super friendly came on talking to her and offering to do the unfreezing process. Yes it was a so called 'microsoft' technician but fortunately she backed out before giving financial details. However the damage was done and the scammers had access to all her personal data. The laptop is now undergoing major surgery to have it cleaned and her data reloaded. So stay away from those enticing/humorous etc links that have the unseen potential to fatally infect you.

Hi Waikato,

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.

The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.

So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

Advent food box

Hi all. Last week I received a Facebook post from a Canadian relation about a advent food box. This daily task entailed putting an item into a box during the first 24 days of Dec and then on Xmas eve donating entire box to a food bank/Salvation Army.
As I only go to shops 1-2 times a week I've come up with my own method.
Starting last week (after I had already been groceries couple of days earlier, so luckily I had something here to add) I set up a box and placed a pkt of pasta into it, and today during groceries I bought pkt of cornflakes.
So I'll be adding 1-2 items per week until Xmas eve then will donate somewhere. Thought others might like to do likewise.
Did donate few weeks ago (after daughter had massive clean out of her pantry) a pile of items to the food pantry in Grange ave. But twice this week I've gone past and it's been empty.
By starting up your own weekly or daily food box/es you can then be sure they'll get to people who really need them via a food bank or Salvation army.
Don't forget to include food tins/pkts for pets and household items like toilet paper, tissues, handy towels, rubbish bags, dishwash liquid, soap, etc etc.
So my challenge is that next time you do your groceries buy 1-2 extra items (I usually go for items I personally wouldn't usually use myself ie I prefer ricies but I bought cornflakes for box) and start up a box to donate on Xmas eve/a day or 2 earlier to a food bank or even directly to a family you know who would greatly benefit from a food box.
Thanks for taking up the challenge. I'm on a benefit but as I've been helped by a food bank in the past, I usually donate during Dec to the food bin in the supermarket but starting last week I'm doing a food box instead. Given my finances I'll be averaging about $1-3 per item depending what I can afford each week and what items are on special.
Many thanks to all those who follow my lead.
