Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.… View moreHey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?
We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.
Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?
Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a message in the comments, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.

However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
