All proceeds will go towards buying wool and shipping of the items to Moldova, Romania and the Ukraine. There is great need because of the war in these areas and people are desperate. These scarves can be viewed at my home by ringing 021-057-0371 to make an arrangement to see them. They are all $10 each.
If you can help in other ways such as donating any leftover wool for our group of ladies to knit or crochet into bllankets, jumpers, hats, scarves and gloves, it will be gratefull received.

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.
We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.
The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.
But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.
Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?
Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?

What began as a humorous Facebook group poking fun at poor parkers has grown into one of Waikato’s most active online communities, with nearly 42,000 members.
