However, you may know someone who could benefit - Aunty Maude, Grandad... So please pass the message on. We are teaching very basic skills using Chromebooks.
This will be 6-8 lessons in a small group starting in early October. There will be a small fee of $60 for this class to cover our room hire. We will have devices available but we expect students to purchase their own devices before the end of the course. We will advise on this. (There's no point in learning if you can't use it!).
There will be a class held in Palmerston North, and one in Feilding.

One of the best things about staying with my parents is the promise of soft, fluffy towels when I arrive.

Compared to the rough, frequently damp variety I have at home, my mum’s towels feel like I'm being wrapped in clouds. When I ask her how she keeps her towels so fluffy, she replies, only half-joking, “I buy expensive towels.”
First, I read that the leading cause of stiff towels is often leftover detergent residue. However, while cutting back on detergent will prevent towels from growing scratchy, it may not revive the softness. Choosing a hot water cycle and washing loads of only towels are also recommended for maintaining fluff, but again may not be enough to bring it back from the dead.
Undeterred, I continued to scrounge around the internet, and eventually came across a few interesting tricks—using items that I already have lying around at home—that I decided to try. Not at all of them worked out, but here is what I discovered.
Add Baking Soda
What the internet says: Mix half a cup of baking soda along with a normal detergent dose for fluffier and cleaner towels. Baking soda also naturally eliminates musty and mildew smells that come from towels remaining damp for too long.
How it worked: The towel felt thicker and bouncier, but the threads were sharper and spikier—kind of like a buzz cut texture. Not entirely ideal.
Throw Tennis Balls in The Dryer
What the internet says: If you have a few clean, unused tennis balls lying around like I do, try throwing them in the dryer along with your towels. As the balls bounce around, they help remove lumps and increase softness.
How it worked: It didn’t. I noticed no difference in fluffiness from drying towels with tennis balls. My towels remained their same old scruffy selves.
Brush It Out
What the internet says: Use a hairbrush to brush your towel once it’s clean and dry, which will help break down any dried detergent residue and separate the threads from each other, making the towel softer to the touch.

On visiting Supermarkets, and Homewhare shops it really gets under my skin the rediculous prices that these community shops are charging for the necessity for families to keep themselves warm during and into the colder part of our year.
On seeing what these supposed community and family providers are charging for bags of firewood and kindling is totally unbelievable
From what I've looked at, how can they substanciate charging $15-00 plus for a bag of 12 wood rings/rolls, or $18-99 for a box of Kindling Wood.
With this regard, I have devoted a lot of time and effort in making available to the Levin residents Kindling Wood options, that as I feel a more friendly and acceptable cost to households.
As you will see from the attached photo's, there is 2 options available.
No.1 on left $10, approx 90+ pieces per box
No.2 on right $12-50 approx 130 + per box
Its not my intention to rip anyone off, but my time in producing this product, is a lot higher than the asking price, however I believe the community deserve better.
If interested call John 021 756020 or email jojabe31@gmail.com
