Singing Happy birthday is OK, but a MUCH better idea is to use this regular 20 second wash to help your kids learn their tables! Contrary to "popular" opinion, this IS an essential skill for their maths future.

These printouts take about the right time you should be washing if recited out loud at a reasonable pace :) Stick them to the mirror, and change them every few days!
Touch typing is another extremely valuable life skill, hey, why don't you do it with them! ;) There are lots of great free online apps for this and some better but $$ ones; TypingMaster is good. A little bit every day will guarantee results, but, warn kids that they will get way worse before they get faster, this early stage is when they tend to give up. Cut up a cardboard box to cover the keyboard, and no peeking!
Keep Safe!
who keeps internet ,power gas ,tv etc going so we can still interact shout out to them also
Hi, I need a good quality colour printer that's ready to use. Bought a new one a couple of years ago but not working properly now. If you have one you'd be willing to sell please send me a message. Thanks and stay safe 😊

We must now all stay home. Because that’s how we’ll stop the virus.
Level 4 measures will likely be in place for a number of weeks.
Don’t worry. During that time you will still be able to access all the essentials you need, including medicine, food, and other home supplies.
ALL THE TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS
It’s incredibly important that we all follow the Level 4 plan, all the time. No exceptions. Because doing so will save lives.
A CHALLENGE FOR EVERYONE
We realise these are big changes. But these are challenging times.
If we don't all stay home, the whole country will need Level 4 restrictions for longer.
SUPPORT OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE PEOPLE
We owe it to the essential services. Our nurses, doctors and everyone else on the frontline. They’re working tirelessly to save lives. We should all do everything in our power to help them do this.
Thank you to each and every person, for doing their bit.
While you’re staying at home:
STAY CONNECTED
• Don’t let physical distance stop you staying connected. Keep in touch with people using video calls, phone calls, chat and texting.
• If you know people who are living alone, vulnerable, or separated from their loved ones, regularly check-in with them.
STAY WELL
• Continue to practice good hygiene – wash your hands with soap. Then dry.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Regularly clean surfaces in your home with disinfectant.
• Keep up regular physical exercise, and get some fresh air when possible. It’s good so long as this is solitary, or only with those you live with.
REACH OUT
If you need advice, support or help, try reaching out to friends, family, whānau or workmates.

Due to most of their volunteers being over 70 and more at risk, they have decided not to open their charity shops until further notice.
I imagine the other op shops won't be far behind.
