Having a poor night’s sleep?

We caught up with Dr Angela Campbell, PhD Manager of the WellSleep Centre, University of Otago, Wellington and she provided us with some insights into the most common symptoms women might experience whilst going through menopause, which are insomnia, hot flushes, snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. Dr Campbell states, “these are all common side effects of menopause and can affect up to 70% of women.” So, if you’re experiencing sleepless nights and suddenly disturbing your partner with this new-found snoring, you’re certainly not alone.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, you might be interested to learn that Patney offer an effective, non-invasive and temperature neutral solution that can assist with controlling your snoring - the Patney sleep positioner, has undergone independent validation testing by the WellSleep Centre, Otago University. We are so confident about the Patney sleep positioner that we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. For further information head across to our website at www.patney.com

It's urgent because friends and family are relying on us for accommodation! The dimensions are 1800mm long x 580mm deep, but there's a bit of leeway. The sink needs to be in the middle of the bench to line up with existing tap plumbing. Bit of an ask, but hey... Get in touch if you have something that might fit the bill. Thanks,

The UK recently announced a 25 year plan to eradicate avoidable plastic waste which includes single use products like wet wipes, which contain non-biodegradable plastic.

Manufacturers will either have to create plastic-free wipes or people will have to go without them, the BBC reports.

We invited Seven Sharp to Moa Point (one of our wastewater treatment plants) yesterday afternoon, for a closer look at what happens to the wetwipes you flush down the toilet, and to talk about why you should only flush the 3P's - pee, poo and paper [toilet paper].
