Let's talk about some unexpected germ hotspots that might give you the heebie-jeebies! 😳

1. **Your Keyboard:** Believe it or not, your keyboard is probably dirtier than your bathroom! 😱

It's like a germ party with bacteria like staphylococci, streptococci, and other nasties hanging out there. Yikes!

To keep it clean, try disinfecting it at least once a week. If it's a shared keyboard, maybe bump up the cleaning frequency a bit. Grab some wipes with 70% alcohol and give it a good wipe-down. And hey, don't go thinking higher alcohol percentages are better – they just evaporate too fast to do the job properly.

2. **TV Remote:** Be honest now, when was the last time you cleaned your TV remote? 📺

With everyone in the family pawing at it daily, it's a breeding ground for germs. Grab some alcohol wipes or a damp microfibre cloth with alcohol and give it a quick wipe every day. Your remote – and your peace of mind – will thank you!

3. **Bathroom Tap:** Okay, brace yourself for this one. The bathroom tap – you know, the one you touch right after doing your business – is a germ magnet. 😬

It's like a party spot for bacteria like e. coli and other not-so-pleasant types. Studies even show that homes with kids and pets tend to be germier! So, maybe give that tap an extra scrub when you're cleaning the bathroom.

Stay clean, stay healthy, and remember to give those sneaky germ hideouts a good scrub every now and then!

Germs are everywhere–in the air, water, soil and even in food. These include viruses, but also bacteria, fungi and other gross stuff that can infect us.

Due to damaging my shoulder and going through the slow process of rehab, I am wanting to pull out of my current Aspire Gym membership by transferring it on to someone out in community who is currently seeking to join.

Aspire is the 2-storey gym (behind the Z Bethlehem petrol station) that has an onsite 4- lane lap pool and sauna! They run aqua aerobic classes, land based aerobic classes, PT sessions, there are running machines, exercycles, stair climber machines, rowing machines - an extensive weghts facility. Such an awesome gym!!

The normal weekly rate is $32, so you would be receiving a discounted membership ($30) that offers you full use of the gym facilities. My membership expires Jan 2025. A joining fee is charged when signing up with Aspire Gym, however this is not applicable if you take over a current members contract. Once the papers are signed over, the gym will simply charge you the $30 p/wk - no strings attached. And, if for some reason you can't attend for a period of time, they offer unlimited membership holds for up to 3 months at a time. It really is very flexible and accommodating.

If you are interested, please make contact with me as soon as possible via text: Laura Donovan / 021 0226 1201.

Price: $30

Hello everyone

The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.

So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.

So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.

There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.
