Does our Kiwi attitude an effect on how we take sick days? What do you think?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

For many, a sick day now means telling the boss you will work from home and answer emails in between sneezing and wheezing. Do you think we have a "she'll be right" attitude? Does this need to change? How do you find yourself taking sick days? Comments may be used in print unless … View moreFor many, a sick day now means telling the boss you will work from home and answer emails in between sneezing and wheezing.

Petone Beach Rubbish

Cameron from Trentham

Hey everyone, after the terrible weather we have had lately Petone beach is covered in a huge amount of rubbish! Huge amounts of zip lock bags, and plastics, cans etc. I filled 3 plastic bags of rubbish, which didn't even put a dent in the amount of rubbish down there. I'd encourage … View moreHey everyone, after the terrible weather we have had lately Petone beach is covered in a huge amount of rubbish! Huge amounts of zip lock bags, and plastics, cans etc. I filled 3 plastic bags of rubbish, which didn't even put a dent in the amount of rubbish down there. I'd encourage anyone who walks the beach or takes there dog there to bring a bag and help collect the rubbish, and recycle what you can!


It's really bad now, in 20 years it will be way worse unless we be proactive about all the plastics. Think of future generations! 


Love from Cam to you all

Poor performance as usual, please make sure you have complaint forms at the counter, there were no complaint forms in the box so people can give feedback. Also make sure the sauna has the little red bucket filled with your solution to apply to the sauna rocks. It's always empty so I have to ask for it to be filled, this will also stop the people I see who apply there own.

5. Small changes

It might sound obvious, but make sure to fix anything broken. Doors that don’t shut properly, holes in walls, peeling wallpaper and leaking taps are just some of the things that can turn off buyers and are relatively easy to fix.

Consider changing the kitchen and bathroom handles. This is an inexpensive and easy way to modernise these key rooms. Also, fix any leaking taps and oil creaky hinges.

4. Garden glory

One easy move which ramps up the visual appeal and saleability of a property is tackling the garden. Try to make sure the property appears low maintenance as this appeals to buyers.

But simple moves like mowing the lawns, weeding the garden, clearing up landscaping clutter, pruning trees, sweeping up leaves and clearing pathways make a huge difference.
