Missing Cat - please help us bring Olive home
Hi Neighbours - our 3 year old cat called Olive has now been missing for 24 hours. She is very friendly, answers to her name and is likely stuck inside a garage our outbuilding she has snuck into. She is our precious fur baby and we would really appreciate if you could check your garages and sheds to see if she is stuck inside. Thank you for your help in looking for her. Our address is 158A Kahu Road, Paremata and my mobile number is 0272293862. She is microchipped and has a red disc collar on with her name and our phone number. We are offering a $250 reward to bring her home. Thank you! Monica

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?
-
34.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
