Darning lessons needed

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Is anyone able to teach me to darn?

My mother never got around to it and my darling son has pulled holes in the toes of every single one of his brand new school socks. 10 socks, all holed. And given the cost of them, I’m not planning on buying anymore for at least the rest of the year.

Is anyone able to teach me to darn?

My mother never got around to it and my darling son has pulled holes in the toes of every single one of his brand new school socks. 10 socks, all holed. And given the cost of them, I’m not planning on buying anymore for at least the rest of the year.

And it’s not because they’re too small, it’s his method of pulling them on so tight to stop non existent bunching, that has done it.

Scam alert - Nationwide

The Team from New Zealand Police

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.

Real Police officers are warning Kiwis to be vigilant of cold callers posing as Police officers, as a pesky scam rears its head.
In the past year, Police have worked quickly to warn the public as these scam calls emerged.

Waitematā CIB’s acting Detective Senior Sergeant Ben Bergin says, “unsuspecting victims are essentially being called out of the blue under a ruse”.
“The story changes slightly, but it will usually involve some sort of investigation and this ‘officer’ will report having located a valuable item of yours, such as a passport.
“He will need your help or ask for your personal information.
“The caller speaks with an English accent and provides a bogus ID number to the victim.”

If you receive a phone call such as this, Police advise the public to be extremely cautious.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says previous iterations of this scam has involved scammers asking people to withdraw cash as part of ‘an investigation’ or handing over bank details.
Police made several arrests last year over the scam.
“We strongly advise that you hang up,” he says.
“From time-to-time, Police officers may contact you as part of their genuine duties.
“It can be a bit surprising to receive a call unexpectantly, so stop and think if you get a far-fetched story shared down the telephone line.”

In the past week, Police have received reports from Kiwis on both islands, including: Warkworth, Riverhead, Royal Oak, Ngaruawahia and in the Clutha and Queenstown-Lakes districts.
“Fortunately, at this stage we are not aware of any victims losing money,” acting Detective Senior Sergeant Bergin says.
“Those recipients have done the right thing and ended the call and reported it to the real Police.”
If you have received a similar call, please report this to Police online now or call 105.

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 ⤵️
🚔Police will never ask for your bank details, pin numbers or banking log in.
🚔Police do not offer prize money
🚔 Police will never ask you to go to a bank and withdraw your own cash
🚔 Stop and think: If the call seems off, hang up and call 105 to verify the officer’s identity, or request a callback.

Dash cam reviews - update

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I went to JB Hi Fi and got the dash cam and micro sim and it works brilliantly. The display screen shows my actual speed is averaging 5km slower than my Speedo, which is perfect for me.

The display screen shows my actual speed is averaging 5km slower than my Speedo, which is perfect for me. And the settings on it automatically record constantly and save events, for the amount of time I choose. The cable is long enough to go around the edge of my large windscreen, down the door from, under the large dash, behind the glove box and across to the cigaret port. I need to get a few more cable anchors though. It only came with 4.

I’ve seen so much bad driving behaviour, lately, that I’m looking at getting a dash cam.
Can anyone give me a recommendation or review?

I’ve checked a few online reviews, within my price range, and Navman seems to have everything I need.

I attached a link to the one I’m thinking of getting, while it’s on special.
