Pamper Packs for Womens Refuge
Hi there, I am once again getting organized to put together pamper packs (shoebox size) for the Womens Refuge. I did this last year and got about 15 packs & 10 boys/girls activity packs done and distributed.
I am seeking donations of women's hygiene products ie: sanitary, body wash, razors, toothbrushes (also boys/girls) toothpaste, wipes, deodorants, body lotion, shampoo/conditioner, makeup / makeup bags, chocolates, etc
For the boys/girls I had activity book, pencils, note books, hair ties for girls, matchbox cars for boys, bubble wands, stickers, chocolate bars, etc
My aim is to double the packs for all this xmas, I drop them off week before Xmas to Womens Refuge. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated (not just by me but the women who use Womens Refuge) :)
Easier to contact me on 027 414 6779, I can collect items if that suits, thanks xx
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
