Wellington Curtain Bank then makes the curtains to fit your windows, lining for extra warmth, and drops them back to the Pomare Taita Community Trust for you to take home and hang. Curtains can keep heat in, cold out and power bills down – a great way to get ready for winter. For more info head to the Pomare Taita Community Trust at 55 Farmer Crescent, Pomare, Lower Hutt, or call Wellington Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24.

One of my consistent messages to couples is the 5:1 ratio of positive interactions to negative interactions. But this message needs some unpacking.

But this message needs some unpacking.
5:1, according to our research, is the ratio that couples must reach during a conflict. This prevents couples from being overwhelmed with negativity during an already difficult experience.
20:1, on the other hand, is the ratio you should meet every day. Twenty positive interactions for every single negative interaction!
Sounds hard, right? It isn't if you are attentive and intentional. Start scanning the horizon in your relationship for positive things to appreciate about your partner.
Then tell them. Show them. Be there for them and with them, and turn toward them again and again. That's how you hit 20:1.
Hi,
Anyone want half price tickets for Weber Bros Circus in Paraparaumu tonight? Gold tickets for 2 adults and 3 children for 7:30pm show. Cost $210 but happy for $100 as we can’t go anymore.
Can email tickets or you can pick up printed copies if you like.
Cheers
Kyle

The water entering our stormwater network does not get treated, this means EVERYTHING flows directly into our streams, rivers, and eventually our ocean.
Put any ‘waste’, such as cigarette butts, dog poo, or rubbish, into a rubbish bin.
Let’s all look after our waterways, and remember only rain down the drain.

The 50’s and 60’s brought about a more enveloping style of music, which featured a more liberating beat, greater gusto and a more contagious invitation to dance than ever heard before. Some of the greatest artists of all time lead to fanatical adoration, frenzied fans and even panty throwing!
