Countdown/Woolworths Black 'Bag for Good'

Jenny from Titahi Bay

My black 'Bag for Good' developed two tears and I went to my local Porirua Countdown and asked for a replacement. "No" said the man, "We are not Countdown (despite what the outside signage says) and we no longer do this." I stopped to argue politely with him, until he turned his back on me and walked away a few steps. Standing my ground got another member of staff telling him to give me a bag (so the Lotto line could start working again).
Imagine my surprise when I rang the Woolworths help line to hear that as far as Woolworths are concerned, the 'Bags for Good' are still be honoured - apparently it says so on their main website.
So if you have a damaged bag, do not let the store personnel tell you 'No', just stand your ground because you are in the right.

Cleaning & Chores Help

Carl from Plimmerton

Kia ora, I am looking to pay 1 or 2 people to come to my place in Plimmerton and do some household chores for me. It would be fortnightly between July - September. Primarily vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom, but may occasionally include bringing in firewood, taking out the trash, hanging washing and other such little tasks.

I have moderate to severe ME/CFS and therefore very limited energy and time not lying down.

I don't mind if they are teenagers as long as they are reliable and will do a good job. If you are interested or know of people who might be, please get in touch!
