It will be used to cover some of our pallets, home made see saw and possibly the top of a tyre that has been filled in. Our horses, ponies & donkeys will go up and over these obstacles, so needs to be in reasonable condition. Needs to cover about 11 metres by 1.5 all up, but sections might be okay. Free would be great!

Morning neighbours,

Today's edition features the story of a Hamilton family. They work hard but are still struggling to make ends meet. The young mother puts it down to high rents and low wages.

All their income and expenses are listed in the story.

The question is, how common is their experience? How many other hard working families are still living from pay day to pay day?

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
