Awesome Marriage Course
Hi Neighbours and Friends,
A couple of years ago, we attended this great marriage course and I see it is back being offered again.
Fully recommend it for people thinking of getting married, for young marrieds and for older marrieds. I was a bit surprised that when I told people we were doing a marriage course that the usual response seemed to be one of shock, often followed with an "oh no, you guys having problems?" The answer was "no, we are not having problems, and I figure the way we should keep from having problems is to invest in our relationship - so we are going on this course."
Anyway, here are the details if anyone wants to go to the next one. It is koha based, and you get your own table, just the two of you - they give you a really nice dessert and a hot drink while you are there each night.
Here is the info:
Invest In Your Marriage

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?

40.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)

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.
