Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.
Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?
What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?

You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.

Spring cleaning time. Clear out the clutter and move it to Universal storage.
Most new home builders have a long list of questions...what building materials should we use? How can we include energy-saving features? How (and when) will the final price for my home be determined? How can we minimise unexpected costs and what warranties and guarantees will my new home have?
