Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

There can be big differences in the prices – make sure you ask why. If you want a good result, the more you think about upfront the better. Follow our checklists, information, and tools to help you through the process.
Hey neighbours, are you thinking of borrowing money by taking out a loan?

Before you do - there's a few things you really need to know about. Take a minute and read the tips below to ensure you're asking the right questions and getting the best loan for you.
1. Shop around! Interest rates, fees and terms must be made available to you by the lender. Make sure you compare details and make an informed decision about what loan is best for you.
2. Choose a lender. Did you know that when you borrow money to buy something, you don’t have to borrow from the same person who is selling the goods?
3. Understand. Whoever is loaning you the money must ask questions to make sure you can afford the loan. They also need to help you understand the key terms of the loan.
4. Be prepared. You'll need to provide your lender with information to show that you can afford to repay the loan. This might include proof of income and expenses so make sure you have it ready.
Don't get on Auntie's bad side and do your research! You can find more information here.

You may have seen this week that Farmwatch have released a disturbing video showing a dairy farmer abusing his cows by hitting them with a steel pipe. That was not the only abuse they suffered. Staff at the farm grew deeply concerned at the level of abuse and went to MPI who did nothing. The abuse did not stop and again they went to MPI who still did nothing. After trying to speak to the dairy owner himself and get help from MPI the staff went to Farmwatch and they installed hidden cameras to get proof of the abuse. This proof they have shared on social media.
MPI do not have a great track record when it comes to picking up animal abuse or prosecuting those found to be abusing their animals. I want to ensure that this mans actions will have consequences so have started a petition to send to MPI hoping that he will get more than just a slap on the wrist.
Here is the link to the petition - please sign it and I encourage you to share it on Facebook and any other forms of social media you have.

For anyone wondering why I created the petition or who simply want to know more about this story please read this article. It's very good and after reading it you will understand why I have to try and do something to get justice for these animals.
