This did surprise many economists and politicians given traditionally they do match the basis point cut by the Reserve Bank and also given announcements from the banks of the healthy profit margins they have been achieving.

The Reserve Bank reduced the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 25 basis points to 2.25 per cent on March 10, 2016 and there has been little or no reaction from some of our major banks here in New Zealand to do the same.

Interior decorating
All about styling Watch any home renovation show on the television these days and you’ll know that how a room is styled or staged, can make it or break it. So when you’re looking to sell your house, it’s important to think about staging, and how to get your house looking spic-and-span as it will help to move your property fast, and for the highest price possible. It could be something as simple decluttering – taking some breakables off the mantel, or putting some furniture into storage, or cleaning up your wardrobe and cupboards – or as serious as putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls. A fresh coat of paint may seem a little extreme, but it gives you more bang for your buck than anything else. Even if your house or current colour is relatively new, scuffs or marks on the walls – commonplace when you have children – will keep your house from looking its best. And when it is looking its best, it needs to be well lit. Dated lighting fixtures can date the overall look of
your home so replacing them with more up-to-date styles will help bring your home into this century and hopefully, widen its appeal. Curtains are another household item that can make a house look older, or more dated than it is. While taking your curtains down might not be ideal for privacy, and they’re not cheap things to replace, there are things you can do to improve their look. Make sure they’re clean, and if your home is open for viewing, make sure they’re tied back. If you still have the old-school net curtains, maybe take them down for the occasion too – they tend to enhance the dated look, and by taking them away you let so much more direct sunlight into your rooms. When preparing your home for sale you can do a little, or a lot. The more you do, the better your chance of selling. It can be a case of spending a bit of money, to make more money, or simply re-organising your cupboards to showcase how much storage you have – because most people who go through your home, will open your cupboards and wardrobes.

Gardening
Pretty polyanthus a popular choice There’s a reason why polyanthus is one of our top selling plants year after year.
compact and colourful plants brightening up your home and garden. Pick off the dead flowers to encourage more flowering and watch out for slugs.
In fact, there are a couple of reasons.
Handy tip
Polyanthus is very easy to plant and grows just about anywhere – as long as there’s some sun. But we think the secret behind it’s popularity, comes down to the fantastic, bright colours it comes in – particularly at a time like winter when there isn’t so much colour in the garden. This pretty, and popular, plant comes in a range of hues like pink, blue and red and looks great in hanging baskets or borders. I like to grow polyanthus in pots so I can move the colour around my courtyard and garden depending on how I feel. They also look good planted around potted citrus trees. Get your polyanthus seedlings from your local supermarket, or garden centre. Alternatively, you can buy them online and get them
Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries delivered direct to your door.
If your polyanthus have trouble flowering, add a little bit of dried blood from the garden centre to provide more potassium.
Once you’ve got your seedlings you need to find a spot to grow them. If you’re planting outside, make sure the soil is well-drained, then dig it over and add some compost. If you’re potting your polyanthus, use potting mix to ensure they have the best kick-start to their growth. In around four to six weeks you should have these tight, low,
