Charity shops clean ups
Hey Hawke's Bay. I have heard and seen a few tough stories of charity shops being inundated with rubbish/extra unneeded clothing from level 4 and 3. So this morning, Chris and I are going to spend a few hours heading around Napier and Hastings to some of these shops with 2x of our 4m3 PortaSkips to fill up to help out. If you volunteer at or know of any of these stores in need of getting rid some rubbish forced on them, tag them so we know where to head. Otherwise google maps charity shops will be to the rescue...
Cheers,
Willy.
Incinerator
Hi does anyone have a garden incinerator they no longer need or would like to sell/give away? I need to burn some accounts/documents - or if anyone has any idea how to get rid of them apart from public recycling let me know - Thanks
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
