Fundraising for the Patoka/ Puketitiri/ Rissington community.
Hi neighbours, I wanted to feel like I was doing something to help people massively affected by the cyclone, so I have 'adopted' this community. A chopper will be flying much needed goods into them and this Give a Little page (see link below) is to fundraise for that. If you have animal feed you would be willing to donate: dog, cat, chicken or calf food, I am willing to take a load down to Taupo to the chopper base. I live near Matamata and could collect feed between here and Taupo. Please contact me if you could donate some feed and if we get enough for a load, I will go down on Tuesday or Wednesday. If you prefer to donate cash to Give a Little, any amount would be most welcome. Many thanks.

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better
Hey neighbours,
Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.
It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.
Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
