Did you promise yourself in a fit of New Year's optimism that you'd spend more time bonding with your family and less time tangled up in the labyrinth of your trade-based business's bookkeeping and admin?

Sue from Sue Gray, Virtual Assistant

Well, buckle up, because I'm here to turn that resolution from a fleeting dream to a reality you can brag about at the next family barbecue!

Why not let me handle your bookkeeping and admin nightmares, so you can go back to being the superhero parent/spouse/fun-loving individual you always … View more
Well, buckle up, because I'm here to turn that resolution from a fleeting dream to a reality you can brag about at the next family barbecue!

Why not let me handle your bookkeeping and admin nightmares, so you can go back to being the superhero parent/spouse/fun-loving individual you always aspired to be on evenings and weekends?

Ever thought about bringing in a Virtual Assistant to rescue you from the clutches of office paperwork and number crunching?

Fun fact: Hiring a Virtual Assistant is way lighter on your wallet than adding a cubicle-dweller to the mix!

I'm not just any Certified Bookkeeper and Xero advisor — I'm the office admin wizard you never knew you needed. I've got a knack for turning chaos into order, and I've been practicing my dance moves for the day I finally achieve the paperless office dream (weird, right?). Oh, and don't worry, I'm slightly OCD about numbers, but in a charming way!

With more than two decades navigating the wild world of trades-based businesses, I've seen it all. As a former owner and/or office manager, I've survived bad language and chuckled at politically incorrect jokes like a pro. Let's make your business management as entertaining as a stand-up comedy show — minus the two-drink minimum.

LET ME HELP YOU GET YOUR LIFE BACK!!

Porirua scrub fire

Smoke was also reported in the Hutt Valley and the Wellington coastal suburb of Miramar.

What you need to know:
- Fenz was alerted to the blaze at 11.04pm on Thursday, and the first crews arrived by about 11.10pm.
- About 7.15am Friday, Fire and Emergency NZ said eight crews were still working to bring the vegetation fire under control. Helicopters with monsoon buckets would also be working on Friday morning.
- The fire was burning over about 10ha in Whitireia Park, and people were asked to stay away from the area. No homes were at risk, Fenz said.
- Residents in Wellington’s northern suburbs woke to the sight of a red glow in the sky and the smell of smoke in the air.
- Commuters travelling into Wellington city from the north were also driving through heavy smoke over the motorway in the central Porirua area.
- Fenz said smoke was affecting a large part of Porirua, and the National Public Health Service had advised that people in an area where there was smoke should go inside, close the windows and doors and turn off air conditioning units. Anyone who had been exposed to the smoke and was feeling unwell should contact Healthline (0800 611 116) or ring their doctor for advice.

Beware of inhaling smoke:
People should avoid exposure to smoke if possible.
Smoke may irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and airways. Symptoms could include watery or sore eyes, dry or sore throat, sore nose, cough, tightness of the chest or difficulty breathing. In healthy people, most symptoms disappeared soon after exposure to smoke ended and did not cause long-term health problems. Smokers, the elderly, children, and those with heart disease, asthma or other lung disease were at the greatest risk of harm from smoke inhalation.

From 12:01am, Wednesday 17th January, Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt will move to level 2 water restrictions. All unattended watering systems will be banned, this includes household sprinklers and irrigation systems.

You will be able to water your garden by hand anytime, on any day, so long as you don’t leave your garden hose or watering device unattended.

This helps to limit water waste and helps reduce the risk of tighter water restrictions and further shortages.

Rain is forecast, but the amount expected is not enough to help the situation.
