a shot in the dark - for a new home

Keira from Greerton - Parkvale

Kia Ora, so we are looking for a new home 2-3 bedrooms in areas of Ohauiti, Pyes Pa, Gate Pa, Greerton, Oropi and the like. My husband works in the Kiwi industry so we need to be in good reach of the orchards of Pyes Pa. I am working on setting up my own business so I can be anywhere.

Is it completely unheard of to get rent of $350 these days in Tauranga?

We seek a cosy place that we can care for as our home, long term if need be. We love to grow our own veggies, so we do like a little/big patch of green. We don't smoke, nor drink though we love to bake, cook, share & eat! So if a kindly landlord or lady is out there looking for a respectable pair to care for your home as their home then we could be them.

Thanks to whoever reads.
Brilliant day to you,
Best wishes, Keira

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Beds4U - Tauranga

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
