A new place to be.
My name is Peter, am 59 and I am looking for a new abode. I have lived in many different settings from rental and lease arrangements including doing part payment plus helping with property maintenance, house sitting, in caravans, wwoofing and living in alternative, sometimes organic on or off the grid small communities. I am opening myself to what is coming my way and invite you if you have space for me to live to contact me. I work in the support worker industry here in Tauranga and used to run a health retreat for many years in NZ offering counseling, life coaching and other alternative therapies. The kind of accommodation must be where I still have a level of independence while enjoying a social and interactive time with others. I am willing to look as part rental payment to help support people with illness, disability, depression, anxiety and some addiction. I am available to meet you now so if you have a space for me to settle in for a while and perhaps like the idea of someone sharing a home, lifestyle property or other setting please contact me at 02041741215 and please leave a message if I do not answer.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

63.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
