Hi guys,

I've recently been on a bit of tirade because for months now I have been receiving weekly junk mail in my letterbox, despite having two signs requesting No Junk Mail and No Ad Mail Please. This week I finally decided to do something about it.
It occurred to me that if it was happening to me then maybe others in the area were getting unwanted ad-mail too? Receiving unwanted mail is always slightly frustrating, but particularly so when you're trying to decrease the demand for paper mail and 'do your bit' for the planet. (One resident in Christchurch collected junk mail for a year and found it stacked up to around 7kg and was nearly two meters high!)
If you're experiencing this problem and want to do something about it then you can contact the Mailbox Helpline on 0800 111 081. It helps them to know what kind of junk mail is being delivered, so they can trace it back to the relevant contractor.
If you don't have a No Junk Mail / Circular / Ad-Mail sign but would like one, you can get a free sticker for your mailbox by making a request through letterboxer.org.nz or, if you simply prefer to get your ad-mail electronically you can use, ecomailbox.co.nz
Hi neighbours
Does anyone know where I can get a seat belt from? I failed my WOF because the rear right seat belt is worn.
Only bought car just over a year ago, 2nd hand, and this is the first time I've needed a WOF.

Does anyone know where I can get a seat belt from? I failed my WOF because the rear right seat belt is worn.
Only bought car just over a year ago, 2nd hand, and this is the first time I've needed a WOF.
VTNZ said a second hand but needs to be in good condition is fine to pass the warrant.
I'll need it installed as well so suggestions for that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks everyone

Was at Kmart tonight n found a ladies wallet plus phone left in a trolley.
I took them back inside and gave them to the staff at customer services so hopefully the owner gets her stuff back.

When it comes to relationships, if one partner is “winning,” then both partners are losing.
That's why it's important to accept your partner's influence.
We encourage couples to adopt the Aikido principle of "yield to win."
The next time your spouse makes a complaint, think about it as their way of communicating how important the issue is to them - not as an attack on you. Then, instead of getting defensive, identify the reasonable part of their request, and yield to win.
Letting your partner influence you is one of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr John Gottman.
By identifying and empathizing with your partner's point of view, you are more likely to find a solution that honors both of you.
That's a win/win.
Question of the day: What is one topic you are not accepting influence from your partner on

The traditional sausage sizzle fundraiser is being given a healthy makeover as part of a scheme to improve Kiwis' health.
Healthy Families is trying to convince charities to sell healthier foods, rather than the traditional fried sausages on white bread with tomato sauce. What do you think? Do we need to make sausage sizzles healthier or is this messing with a Kiwi tradition? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print).
