(Free) house and pet-sitting
Hi everyone, if you are looking for a pet or house sitter over the next wee while, myself (Lyss) and my partner (Corinna) are available from October 17th. We are experienced house and pet-sitters and would be delighted to look after your fur children and home while you are away!
Some reasons we might be a good fit:
• flexible work and study arrangements, so we can be home when needed for your pets (most of the time at least one of us can be home). Corinna is a lecturer at Victoria University and I am studying by distance.
• experienced dog and cat owners, and able to care for a wide range of pets
• two sets of hands
• we don't charge to sit
• responsible, reliable, tidy and clean - we are sitting while saving for a house deposit, so will care for your home as if it was our own.
Up
Longer sits preferred, but we will happily consider all! Please get in touch if you think we would suit your needs. References available too :)
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.
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?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Foot Bridge
Anyone know when a start is going to be made on the Ava Rail pedestrian footbridge? It was supposed to be finished by the middle of the year but no sign of a start yet.
