Looking for a rental woes....
So this today - young married couple saving for a first home. They find the ideal wee 1 bedroom place on it's own small section not far from work, book for four days away to view it and go along today all excited and hopeful to find a NOTE on the door telling them it was gone. No text or call, no courtesy, nothing. And to add insult to injury... the landlady was watching them through the window as they read the note! One young lady crying all the way home... RUDE.. I hope the tenant they picked is exactly what they deserve :( be careful who you rent from I say, that is mean.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
