I have way too many boxes.
Moving? Spring (Summer, haha) cleaning? Reorganising? Just love boxes? I am a dialysis patient and every month I get a delivery of supplies. I am drowing in my boxes of a range of sizes. Most of them are fluid boxes, they come with 12 or 10.5L of fluid in them (which probably gives a good idea of the volume of the box) so they are very strong. These are ideal for books (anyone who has tried to move a bunch of books knows that you need strong boxes for such dense weight) but can be for anything. I also have some larger boxes that my tubes and syringes and the like come in. Anyone who wants some is welcome to contact me and come get some. First in first served. =)
Eventually I will not be able to fit these boxes in my garage (I have recently just moved myself) and then I will start recycling them. If you miss out then just ask again after the 7th of Feb. I will have more by then, haha.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
