What I Want ☺
Every year my children ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer:
What do I want, I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your kids, your fur babies. I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don't care. Hearing you laugh is music to me.
I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work.
Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.
I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy. When you ask me what I want I say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year. I want you❤❤❤❤
Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.

Check your supermarket receipts
Today I went to Woolworths Cnr Munroe and Dickens Streets, Napier and purchased a 3 litre bottle of Woolworth milk. I got a surprise to see that it had gone up from $5.72 to $5.96. However, when it was scanned at the checkout I was charged $6.06. I was confused and thought I had got the price wrong so went back to check, sure enough the shelf price was $5.96. When making a complaint with the supervisor I was offered a refund of the error difference, but I said this was not right. She then refunded the full amount and told me to keep the milk. If you are concerned about your grocery bill it pays to check and complain if you believe an error has been made.
