Are you a lady, woman, babe, or whatever you call yourself in your late 40s………?

Susan from Wellington Central

If you’re wondering how the first 50 odd years of your life disappeared so fast, and how, although it feels like the 80s was yesterday, it seems to be about three decades ago. I am too!
I've just turned 49, which means I’ll be 50 next year. So I’m writing a post a day and want you to join my 365 day journey to 50 on my FB group. Sometimes reflective, sometimes thoughtful, or just a jolly good bitch session about kids, partner, life – the usual stuff. You’ll definitely relate! So while you're stuck inside on this nasty Saturday check it out, join up and be part of the conversation! I look forward to hearing your views!

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
