So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.
The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.
Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.
The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.
Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
Last Monday my wife received a phone call from a man claiming to be from IRD.
When she answered the ring, there was a pause and possibly a click, then a man informing her that "she was of interest to the IRD and would be receiving a summons and have to appear in court" He then gave her… View moreLast Monday my wife received a phone call from a man claiming to be from IRD.
When she answered the ring, there was a pause and possibly a click, then a man informing her that "she was of interest to the IRD and would be receiving a summons and have to appear in court" He then gave her a number to ring, should she want to discuss the matter.
She knew it was a hoax or scam, so rang IRD (via the phone book). She navigated the question/answer 'Phone Tree' for a while, until it gave up and produced a real live woman. She explained her problem and was told it's been going on for a couple of weeks.
To the suggestion that IRD should make a statement on TV or 'Social Media', the woman said that's a good idea and she would pass it on.
So, while we wait, this is my attempt. And, of course, as you all know: DON'T RING THE NUMBER GIVEN.
Do you think the purpose of the scam is to give you the run around on a very expensive phone call?
Or do they hope to extract financial details etc, during the run around?
And if it's going well, transfer you to yet another department and introduce you to the real scam?
Then repeat as long as they think reasonable.
After all, it's a good script.
Law abiding senior citizens, will be quite unsettled by the thought of prosecution by the IRD.
And that may be just enough to get them to ring the number.
They don't have to buy much fruit and vege as they grow their own. Here's how they do it.

Concrete roller 50 x 60 cm, I guess it weighs about 300 kg. Can be towed behind quad, ride-on mower, etc.
I may be able to deliver. Looking for a reasonable offer.
It's an old 250 cc quad, 2WD, forward & reverse. Runs ok, but needs a little work: needs a new battery and at least 2 front tyres. Exhaust header pipes have rusted off at the junction. I fitted new front brake cylinders and linings.
Contact me for viewing. Open to offers.
