This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

Dirt... Free!

Nick from Trentham

I have a lot of dirt after digging up my back yard. I don't want to load it into a trailer and then have to unload it somewhere else, so instead, in a weeks time I'll be hiring a skip to dump it - unless of course anyone needs any?

I have a lot of dirt after digging up my back yard. I don't want to load it into a trailer and then have to unload it somewhere else, so instead, in a weeks time I'll be hiring a skip to dump it - unless of course anyone needs any?

It's free, but the catch is you'll have to come round and take what you need. If you're lucky I may help shovel it into your trailer for you!
