Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Mix Oxalic Acid with warm water to desired concentration, apply to surface allow to dwell for several minutes and flush off with fresh water. The pictures below really highlight how effective Mainland Oxalic Acid really is.

Technology to make your home smarter and safer

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Remembering to set the alarm before you left the house used to be about as complex as home security got. But now it's increasingly common to have a fully integrated system that links in with several other gadgets around the house, controlled via an app on your phone.

It's generally felt that most couples wait 7 years too long before seeking help with their relationship struggles!

Do you two need help now?

Communication, is nearly always at the heart of relationship difficulties. When we can't get past our unmet needs, defensiveness and old hurts it is very hard to trust and feel safe with our partner or spouse. A big part of my work with couples is to slow down both the speaking and listening to each other, in order to really get to grips with the core issues so that trust and safety may be repaired.

Just as we service our cars, so we can service our relationships by paying attention to the parts that are not working as well as we would like. It takes courage to turn up for couple counselling – nearly all of us prefer to keep the un-ideal parts of our lives for the privacy of our own homes. But it's like anything of value – we will only get out of it what we are prepared to put into it. So if you know your key relationship is not what you want it to be, give me a call or make an appointment and we can talk through how I can support you.
