New Year, New Resolutions?

Clare from

Most of us make resolutions at New Year, but how long do they last? And how do we make them? Do we write them down, or do we just think about them?
Most resolutions are just thoughts, and most last only as long as the hangover.
But just the single action of writing them down can make a huge difference in whether we do actually succeed in making any changes in our lives. Love her or hate her, Jacinda Ardern had the best idea ever, going into government with a strong, "Things we want to achieve in our first 100 days" policy. An American goals coach, Gary Ryan Blair, is currently promoting a "100 Days Challenge" to help people get their year off to a supercharged start.
I've written down 32 things I want to achieve in the first 100 days of 2018 - and already have crossed off two of them! So give it a go - write down your list of what you want to achieve before April 10th, read it over every day or two - and see what happens in your year. I challenge you!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Lawn mowing

Michael from Blade

Hi Everyone

I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.

So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com

Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
