Poll: Do you clean your reusable bags?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

Hi there,
I am posting on behalf of my 23 year old daughter who is a Teacher, primary school trained who is fully registered. She is looking for child care/ babysitting work over the summer holiday break while she comes back home to the family. She has plenty of experience with children (both teaching and childcare/ babysitting), a full clean driver's licence, a First Aid Certificate and excellent references. She is available from the end of the teaching school year (16th of December). She is currently based in Auckland but will be home with family over the holiday season.
If you are interested/ would like further confirmation or documentation/CV, you can contact her directly by email then she will give you further information. (Due to safety reasons we are passing on putting her cell phone number directly up on her).
Please feel free to pass on her details to anyone, friends and family, who you might think may be interested.
Thank you :)

Rates

The Team from

Rates invoices have been arriving in the mail, if you haven't already received yours it will be coming. Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them.

Unfortunately not every-one is going to be able to afford them. So did you know that there is a rates rebate that you can apply for? A lot of people think you have to be over 65 years old before you can apply but if your income tax is $25,180 or less and live in your own home you may be able to claim the full amount of $630. Exactly how much you get will depend on what your rates bill is, how many children or dependents you have and your income. The rebate is income tested so even if you earn more than this you may qualify for some assistance. If you want to know more pop into your local bureau and talk with the volunteers, we can also tell you about rates remission for first home builders and rates postponement if you are experiencing extreme financial hardship.
