Cost of dental care leaves young Mum considering having her teeth removed.

Editor Reporter from The Post

The 28-year-old mum to a four-month old is so desperate she is seriously considering pulling the rest of her healthy teeth from her upper mouth to be outfitted with dentures. That option is much cheaper than getting root canal surgery.

I need someone to help me wax my car.

Michael from Newtown

Greetings -

My Mitsubishi Mariage needs to be waxed. I have done it several times in the past, but due to a shoulder injury it would take me too long to do it myself. That is why I need someone to help me.

My Mitsubishi Mariage needs to be waxed. I have done it several times in the past, but due to a shoulder injury it would take me too long to do it myself. That is why I need someone to help me.

While I live in Newtown, I can take the car to you if you please. With 2-people waxing the car, it should not take more than 2 hours to finish. I'll pay you $50 for your help.

If interested, please send me your phone number or email address through this website. Thank you.

Best wishes - Michael

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

A quick reminder to review the latest Let's Get Wellington Moving plan as feedback closes tomorrow.

www.surveymonkey.com...

It is a confusing document but please persevere as for the most part it assumes Wellington has a Mediterranean climate and that somehow installing boulevards will make public transport more effective and the streets safer. Something that certainly hasn't happened around Te Aro park.

Massive amounts of street access closures and reductions in car parks are proposed. If you're happy carrying your six bags of groceries home on the bus or bicycle then feel free to support it. Otherwise the main beneficiaries appear to be the shareholders in parking buildings.

As a person who uses public transport 80% of the time and also owns a bicycle, I see this latest proposal as something that will rip the soul out of the CBD, gridlock traffic - including public transport, and the only direction it will get Wellington moving is, out of Wellington.

Poll: Should we have a four-day work week?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2018, a NZ company trialled the four-day week and claimed a 20% increase in productivity, encouraging them to make the change permanent. A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?
