Spring Cleaning Tips To Make The Cleaning Easier
Vacuum Cleaners For Home
Usually a deep cleaning vacuum will include rotating brushes that agitate the carpet pile and loosen the dirt ready for it to be vacuumed up. On hard floor surfaces the rotating brushes gently scrub the floor clean. The deep cleaning vacuum is great for the home because it is quite effective at removing stains in the carpet. It works by pushing hot water and the cleaning solution deep into the carpet to extract the stain. Special nozzles can be attached to make it more effective. When the job is complete you just empty the container. If you take a scheduled approach to cleaning your carpets they will look cleaner longer. Clean entrances every 4-6 weeks, bedrooms about every 8 weeks, main traffic areas every 12 weeks, clean the entire house every 15 months. Hand Held Vacuums:
Hand held vacuums are light weight, can be either corded or cordless and most can be mounted on a wall. Cordless performance depends a lot on the charge of the battery, as the battery power drops so does the suction power. Two styles of hand held vacuums include; straight suction or suction with a power brush to agitate the carpet or upholstery for a deeper clean, this works very well on pet hair. Other available attachments include: a brush for upholstery, crevice tool, extension wand and a switch to lock the machine in the on position. If you are considering a hand held vacuum determine its primary purpose, will it be used occasionally on small jobs or part of a regular cleaning schedule? Determining this will better guide you to selecting the right model. Broom Vacuums:
Broom vacuums or stick vacuums are ideal for small apartments, those quick clean ups in the kitchen, bathroom or family room. The benefit of a broom vacuum is its light weight, if you have trouble pushing your heavier standard upright, this may come as welcome relief. You have the option of getting your vacuum corded or cordless, allowing you the freedom to roam around the house spot cleaning. The light weight, usually just 2lbs.-7lbs, allows you to easily store the unit in the closet taking up minimal space. For quick, convenient disposal of dirt and debris most models are bagles. Broom/stick vacuums work great on those small jobs but they just don't have the power or capacity to clean larger homes, however they are a great companion to your regular size vacuum cleaner. If you have never owned a broom/stick vacuum you might be surprised at how often and useful you find it. Wet/Dry Vacuums:
Wet/Dry vacuums are an extremely versatile vacuum cleaner to have in your home. With numerous attachments and functions it is handy appliance to have around the house. Canister sizes can vary greatly from the smaller 6 gallon to the larger 22 gallon. Horsepower ranges from about 2 H.P. up to 10 H.P. Try to match the size of unit to the size of the job and the frequency of use. Some beneficial features to look for in a wet/dry vacuum include: Auto shut-off: This sensor has the ability to tell when your vacuum is full of water and automatically turn off the motor.
Some of the tools you can add to a wet/dry vacuum cleaner include: a scrubbing brush, crevice tool, water nozzle, combination nozzle (wet & dry), extension wand, cleaning kits and some larger models have the ability to attach a leaf blower. Upright Vacuums:
One of the most common features of an upright model is the bagles system. In addition to increased performance, there is no need to purchase any bags saving you time and money. Emptying the bagles canister can be a little dusty. Some bagged upright vacuums feature a full-bag alert which will notify you when the bag is getting to full. Both bagged and bagles styles may offer a dirt sensor that notifies you when there is a certain level of particles in the air stream indicating there is still some dirt not being sucked up into the bag. An on/off switch for the power brush is good safety feature to have in case the vacuum accidentally gets pulled over your feet or cord as you focus on using the attachments. Most upright models come with a standard set of attachments that may include an upholstery tool, a crevice tool and an extension wand. A retractable cord, manual or automatic pile-height adjustment are two more handy features. Some vacuums allow the dirt to be sucked through the bag initially before it reaches the fan, other systems have the dirt goes through the fan first then to the bag, this may damage the fan. A HEPA filter is another common feature found on upright vacuum cleaners. I hope this information helps to narrow down your search to the style of vacuum cleaner that is best suited for your cleaning needs. Next you just need to compare the different manufacturers' models and features in your price range.

Insurance Whangarei
There When You Need It
Insurance is one of those things in life that you know you should have... but your really hope that you don't ever need it. But when you need it, oh you need it ever so badly.
For me, insurance isn't about taking away all of the pain of an 'event', but it is about taking away as much of the FINANCIAL pain as possible.
There are so many different types of insurance available to cover almost every type of incident that could possibly happen to a person, and it is a specialist area that is full of jargon and confusing terms and conditions.
So it's here that insurance brokers come into their own. Providing consumers with advice on what insurance products best suit their own circumstances.
Insurance Whangarei offers help and advice on life insurance, house insurance and everything in between!
Mortgage Brokers Whangarei
Mortgage Brokers Whangarei
Mortgage Brokers Whangarei - What's it all about?Buying a new home can be a scary enough process in itself... to then have to go and get a mortgage can add another layer of complexity on top of that. But then.... you have to wade your way through the hundreds of mortgage products on offer and it can all become just too much.
This is where mortgage brokers Whangarei come in to the picture. A mortgage broker is someone who looks at your particular circumstances and needs and finds the most appropriate home loan for you. They take into account your income, age, goals, etc and find a product that has the most appropriate features for you.
They DO get a commission from whichever bank or financial institution they take you to, but that commission does not come directly out of your pocket (although of course you do pay for it, by virtue of the fact that you're paying the bank and the bank then pay the mortgage broker).
Mortgage Brokers Whangarei provides a valuable service to consumers in helping them to wade through all the jargon and find the best product for them.

Dropped the ball
But that's because we've been busy.
We moved into our new unit in the weekend and it's just fabulous. It
was great being with the whanau at Morningside, but we really need our
own space and this is plenty of our own space!
It's a two bedroom unit, fully furnished with all brand new
furnishings and appliances. We couldn't be happier. Still really close
to Morningside, REALLY close to town (and like, 100m from the library)
and close to the Saturday morning growers market and... the list goes
on. It's simply sensational!!

Anne of Green Gables
of Gables. It's probably about the 5th time I've watched the whole
thing (although I watched multiple snippets over and over again when I
was a teenager) and I don't ever seem to get sick of it. I think it's
the mix of fashion, scenery, a simple love story and the idealistic
lifestyle that just has me hooked every time.

Ear Infections
about a year ago and after about 4 visits to the doctor she finally
figured out how to treat the fungal infection in my ear. So this
afternoon I went straight to the chemist and got some drops. Can't wait till the dizziness stops.

Excel
when you have a skill that they don't.
I've been working on a spreadsheet (database of all the chemicals kept

able to come up with a formula for something that impressed them. I'm a simple girl. I like it when people are pleased with me.

What Is The Most Important Thing?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata! What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people! It is people! It is people! I don't know what's going on with the world but those poor people in
Japan. All the buildings and infrastructure has been devastated but it
is, of course, the loss of life that is the most devastating of all. So sad isn't it.
Not A Good Start
was just a cold, but I had Thursday off and then I didn't go in Friday
cos I don't have a ride on Friday's anyway and then it was the
weekend. I'm glad it's a good job though. Nothing to strenuous on the brain but
plenty to keep me occupied without sending me potty. I wish I could
say that it's also decent pay... but it's not. But it's about as good
as I'm going to get here in Whangarei. I'm more than happy with it
though. :-)

Christchurch... Again
on Sunday to pick up all ours and Mum's belongings. Big day, big trip
but it's all done now and that (very short) chapter of our lives is
over for now.... well... at least on hold. :-) And then I went and got a job. Started today. Just a few weeks. That'll do. :-)
Wednesday, March 2, 2011
WINZ
here in NZ. I've been there a few times this week, getting assistance
with living costs since having to make the dash out of Christchurch.
Today I went in to apply for the unemployment benefit... I don't
expect to have to use their services for too long because I'm an
employable person. But... there are hardly any jobs here in Whangarei,
so I'm just preparing for 'just-in-case'.
But gee... it's pretty humbling. Going and asking for money is
essentially what I'm doing. But you gotta do what you gotta do and
there's nothing wrong with it. I suppose I'm just aware of the number
of people that milk the system for everything they can and don't do
anything to help themselves. I don't want to be lumped in that number.

Laugh
around. She's one of those people that gets the giggles and can't
stop. And that sets everyone else off. Tonight we were all in fits at the state of her poached eggs. They
were abysmal. Just a big round, HARD ball of yolk sitting on her
toast. No whites to be seen anywhere. And by the time we'd finished laughing, I think they were cold! I LOVE laughing. :-)
Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others. Marianne Williamson (speech written for Nelson Mandela)

Sooo much has happened...
Christchurch... and the very next day a devastating earthquake hit the
city! We took my mum and got ourselves out of there quick smart. No
mucking around. So then we spent the next 3 days getting ourselves back to Whangarei.
And here we are. Safe and sound, unharmed... and wondering what we're
going to do now. Others are not nearly so lucky to be in this predicament. The fatality
count is now at 145. There are many more. How many people get so close to tragedy and can come out so unscathed. It's my second chance you think?

Hairdressers in Whangarei?
area on the internet? Apparently not. Not like Sydney where almost every hairdresser has their business on

Peach Pie Galore!
took the leftover half home with them. Aunty Potts has been dropping
huge (unsubtle!) hints at another pie for tonight. So we've picked
peaches this morning, I've just peeled and sliced them all and I'm
waiting for the pastry to thaw so I can make up a pie. Yumm yumm!
Geez I love my life
one 'stress' is making sure that I get enough content written and
syndicated every day. I get to be with my whanau, especially those
closest to me and I get to live in my wonderful country. I'm excited about our move to Christchurch and the new experiences
that will entail, and I get the pleasure of knowing we can be with my
Ma for at least the next few months. You don't get much luckier than me.

Driving And Peach Pie
her back up here to Whangarei. It was a good trip down but by the time
we'd picked her up at the airport and started making our way back, I
had a monster headache and Ben was feeling sick. So poor Ma had to
drive all the way back! She didn't mind though. I'm so glad I have
such a capable mother, she doesn't NEED us to look after her, she can
do quite well on her own... but she lets us look after her a little
bit. :-) And Peach Pie... Ben and I made a Fresh Peach Pie for the first time
ever and it was delicious! So easy, once we'd figured out what we were
doing, and soooo yummy! :-)

Poached Eggs
sleep in. So this morning I got woken up at a very respectable 8am and
told that the water was in the pan waiting till I was ready, then the
eggs would be put in and the toast cooked. Coffee was ready and
waiting.
My husband makes THE most perfect poached eggs on the planet and
that's what I got for breakfast this morning.
I'm still blushing with delight!

Peaches
are absolutely laden with fruit even though the fruit is only small.
Most of them are still quite firm and even have a tinge of green on
them, oh but they are ripe, juicy, sweet and delicious!
These weren't around when we were growing up or maybe they were but
we'd all gone back to school for the year and missed out on the
harvest? Either way... I'm making up for lost time now.
Gaps
are the most important/relevant and what's not. But as I keep going
and testing for myself (as PotPieGirl keeps saying!!) then I know it
will become much clearer to me. So the learning curve has been quite steep over the last few weeks in
particular. It's like all the stuff that I've learnt over the last
year or so is finally all gelling together and making a bit of sense. For the first time ever I'm finding myself wanting to spend ALL my
time doing this stuff because I understand it's importance, I know the
benefits it will have for me over time and, it's not as mind-numbingly
boring when I'm doing my own system rather than just blindly following
someone else. More and more good stuff to come.

Thyromine - I've been using it for a few months
I was amazed to learn that there are literally thousands upon
thousands of people who suffer from hypothyroidism (and underactive
thyroid) and they don't even know it. But the, I didn't know either so
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I had a look at thyromine reviews and decided to give it a go. So glad I did.
Uncle Wayne & Dion
I keep finding more and more reasons to be happy that I'm back here in
NZ. The main one is that I'm with all my whanau again.
There's not much I miss about Sydney. My friends I miss. And my
income. Oh and my car that came with the income. But that's it!
The friends are not lost and the income & car can be released.
Pretty happy today I am. :-)

Weddings Whangarei and more...
January 2011 up in the Bay of Islands. She was looking for wedding and
bridal suppliers here in Whangarei because that's where we spend most
of our time and where the old homestead is. She lives in Perth,
Australia so of course all of her searching was done online. What a
shock to find that businesses here in Whangarei haven't quite got
properly on the band wagon about making themselves available on the
internet. It was a nightmare for Ange trying to get as much stuff
sorted out before she got here. So I'm trying to remedy that problem. First stop was to create a
website about weddings whangarei.
Second stop is to get it ranking in the google search engine.

local businesses here in Whangarei. If you have a chance, please go check it out at:

Howard
day today. I love it! But I've gotta tell you about Howard. Howard turned up a few weeks
ago, just pecking around the front lawn waiting/hoping for a bit of
food. My sister put out a big bowl of water and he must have been
thirsty because he got stuck in.
We gave him a bit of bread and he came back the next morning.
So we gave him some more bread, and he came back with 8 of his mates!
Then he started pooping on the driveway.
So we've stopped feeding him. I can't believe how much I miss Howard the duck!

It's stopped raining... FINALLY!
stopped. It's still soggy, and overcast and even a little cold.
But at least it's not raining anymore.

Muggy Much?
we have is this overwhelming muggy that makes even doing nothing
uncomfortable.
It's overcast and been threatening rain... but the rain just isn't
coming. Instead, the moisture just sits in the air.

I've been busy!
There is so much going on here in Whangarei and I just have to tell
you about some of it.
Okay so I've created two new sites that will help two more businesses
in the area. Here they are:
www.dentistwhangarei.com and
www.hirewhangarei.com
I hope they do really well for these companies.

Started up a new website for my uncle...
I've decided to help him out by getting up a website for him.
Here it is: http://www.builderswhangarei.com/
So now you know where to go if you need a builder in Whangarei!

The Jewel of the North
in Northland.
It's on the cusp of being called a city, but it's still only a town.
It has all the facilities and services of a city, but without the
population of a city.
I love it.
Whangarei... the place to be.
So glad to be with all my whanau.
But it's dawned on me that the internet is an untapped market here.
Yippie!!!

Queensland Disaster
The crazy thing is, the flooding is not just in Australia! Sri Lanka
are having their own flooding and somewhere in Europe too. What's
happening to our weather?

pace.
I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

In the process I hope to improve my writing skills and getting better at being interesting... no small task (as my family will atest).
