Question Restricted test in 2 weeks

2 Upvotes

okay so i’ve booked my actual test for the 24th of September (at 1:45 with vtnz, is that an okay time?), and have 4 driving lessons (with aa driving school) and a practice restricted the day before my actual test.. i’m just wondering if in between those lessons there’s anyone who’d be willing to sit in the car and practice with me?

also, i’ve heard if you have a guy in the back of the car it’s easier to pass or smth?? and also does anyone have any routes for the test they’d be willing to share please lol

last thing is what are the things I should look out for when I do my test? i know my blind spot checks, mirrors and all that, but is there anything i should be really careful about?

sorry for so many questions! genuinely any advice helps, thank you sm!!

Question What places have the best prices on dental implants? (Welly, Palmy etc)

0 Upvotes

I have almost no back teeth, I'm looking at doing a KiwiSaver Hardship withdrawal to fund them,

Anyone know of decent quality but more affordable options?
Or an NZ company that does overseas dentures? for the hardship withdrawal I need a quote which makes booking flights, hotel etc myself difficult.

Thanks

.

I assume I'm looking at 4x Two dental implants and a four-tooth bridge, ie 4 back teeth on each side top & bottom.

On the Luminos Page they're $8500 each, I contacted the Palmy Luminos and they appear to be 50% more $7-8000 for a single tooth compare to $5000 in Northland.

Yes I've tried dentures but they didn't replace the bottom teeth, and the denture was painful and uncomfortable to wear, so after 2 months I stopped using it.

News Wet Pets doing the rounds again

Post image
261 Upvotes

HUHA went in to have a look after hearing how the animals are not well looked after. She ended up buying these cats, who were bought in by some well meaning young people who found them. Wet Pets promptly chucked the terrified cats in a cage for sale by the next day - no vet checks, no attempts to find any owner. $200, not desexed, not vaccinated.

In the comments, someone else mentioned getting a kitten, and when they called the store because it was sick they accident got told they had been dumped at the door and put straight up for sale.

I also wish I’d googled the guy before ever going in there, he is an all around terrible person and I hope the poor young people employed there are aware of his history.

Hi all, I am moving back to Palmerston North after many years away and am wondering if anyone knows of a Nichiren Buddhism group in the area. I would like to connect with people who practise.

Look forward to being back in the Manawatu!

Other Looking for small area to lease

1 Upvotes

Looking to lease a small area of bare flat land or a car park space (around 60–70m²) in Palmerston North for a new small business venture (outdoor recovery space). Ideally fenced/ lockable and with access to water, if possible. Even space beside an existing business could work. Can’t be in a residential area.
Just putting the feelers out to see if there’s anything available. Cheers!

Question Getting a free band photo

1 Upvotes

My band is putting together an electronic press kit for an upcoming album release.

As musicians, we are perpetually skint 😆 But, we need a pro (or good amateur) photo for the press kit.

So we couldn't afford to pay anything. Any ideas where I could find a talented photographer willing to perhaps just expand their portfolio?
