Seeking Summer Pocket Money
After doing really well for the last couple of summers, and absolutely loving it, my soon-to-be 12-year-old has asked me to put the word out again about her availability for looking after your pets over the coming summer.
Over the last two summers she has she managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, lots of bits and bobs, endless packets of mentos, and funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over for the rest of the year. 😊 Not sure what next year will bring for her but she’s keen to have a few dollars put away to make the most of whatever it is.
She's keen to feed small pets and birds, water pot plants/gardens, walk friendly dogs etc etc. Available immediately and throughout the summer up to the end of Jan (a couple of weekends away but we can discuss). Please keep her in mind if you're away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates negotiable! References available from happy customers.
Needless to say she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me on 0226206258, and she'll have her people talk to your people!
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

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.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
