Hey neighbours,
Halloween is fast approaching. Some Kiwis think it's great fun and go all out with decorations and lollies. Others just want to shut their doors and be left alone, leave it to the Americans.

Do you celebrate Halloween at your house? Why or why not?
And If you don't like trick or treating, how do you make it clear your house is a no-go zone?

We're keen to talk to some people who feel strongly about Halloween one way or the other. If you have thoughts to share, please email homed@stuff.co.nz and we'll be in touch.

I have heard recently, that the teething problems at the start from the above Service Provider, still exist.
If you are a New Zealand Teacher, have any in your family or among your group of friends who find the service deficient with regards to complete and clear details on your/their payslips, invite them to reply here, or on my gmail bills.storeage@gmail.com

The information I hold and its arguable relevance to our laws, may well be of collective value to them, their colleagues and contemporaries.
Firstly though, the size and extent of the issue needs to be identified.
