THANKS, SIMON, WENDY AND DAN. THAT WEATHER IS LOOKING GOOD. TONIGHT ON THE SHOW ` WHY OUR OWN LORDE HAS CALLED OUT KANYE WEST FOR STEALING HER IDEA. ALSO, TAKING THE STRESS OUT OF CHRISTMAS. WE'VE GOT THE RECIPE YOU NEED. AND WHY THESE RETIREES GET TOGETHER EVERY WEEK FOR A CHEEKY ROUND OF BEER PONG. PLUS, WAS LIFE REALLY CHEAPER 40 YEARS AGO? WE CRUNCH THE NUMBERS FROM 1978. CAPTIONS BY JEAN TENG AND JAMES BROWN CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. WWW.ABLE.CO.NZ COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018 LOVELY TO HAVE YOU WITH US. JEREMY, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU'RE AWARE, BUT IT'S WORLD KINDNESS DAY. I DID SOMETHING KIND TODAY. YOU'LL GET TO SEE THAT AT THE END OF THE SHOW. WHAT DID YOU DO? I WAS PARTICULARLY KIND. I HAD A MASSAGE WITH SOME ESSENTIAL OILS. I BROUGHT MYSELF A RALTA FOOT SPA AND MADE A LOVELY TUNA SALAD. DID YOU DO ANYTHING FOR ANYONE ELSE? IT DIDN'T SAY THAT YOU HAD TO BE KIND TO OTHER PEOPLE. I WAS KIND TO MYSELF. I THOUGHT THAT WAS ENOUGH. OH, DEAR. I GIVE UP. NOW, I DON'T WANT TO ALARM YOU ` NOR DO I WANT TO SCARE YOU ` BUT IT'S NOW SIX WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. SIX... SHORT... WEEKS. WE ALL KNOW CHRISTMAS CAN BE STRESSFUL. AND FOR MANY PARENTS, IT'S A GIANT BALL OF TENSION. THE TRAFFIC, THE PRESENTS, THE COST, THE KIDS, THE IN-LAWS, CHRISTMAS DINNER ` THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO DO. HOW ON EARTH DO WE APPROACH IT? TIM WILSON TALKS WITH A WOMAN WHO TALKS A LOT OF SENSE. (POP RENDITION OF 'DECK THE HALLS') DECK THE HALLS WITH BELLS AND HOLLY. FA-LA-LA-LA-LA, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY... STRESSED OUT! OH MY GOODNESS. I'M SO LATE. I HAVEN'T GOT ANY PRESENTS. I'VE GOTTA GET A TREE. IT BEGINS MANY MONTHS BEFORE THE DAY, ACTUALLY. (LAUGHS) GOTTA THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER. I'VE GOTTA GO. I THINK IT'S THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF IT. THERE'S SO MANY CARS ON THE ROAD AND NOT ENOUGH TIME TO GET ANYWHERE. WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT? IT'S CALLED 'DEVEMBER', WHEN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER JUST MERGE INTO ONE GREAT BIG BALL OF... STUFF TO DO. BLEEP TO DO. AT THE BANK, TENSION. IN THE TRAFFIC, RAGE. AT THE MALL, ANGER. EVERYBODY'S RUSHING TO TRY AND GET EVERYTHING DONE, TO SQUEEZE IT ALL IN, CREATING ALL THIS STRESS FOR OURSELVES. ROBYN PEARCE IS A TIME-MANAGEMENT EXPERT WHO'S ALSO A MUM OF SIX AND A GRANDPARENT OF... PHEW! 17! SHE'S JUST PUBLISHED A BOOK THAT HELPS TIME-POOR PARENTS MAKE BUSY LIVES LESS STRESSY. SHE'S THE TIME QUEEN. IF YOU'RE A BIT INCLINED TO THINK, 'I'LL JUST DO THAT ONE MORE THING BEFORE I RUSH OUT THE DOOR,' HERE'S THE MESSAGE ` DON'T. AND IN TERMS OF RUNNING UP TO CHRISTMAS, DON'T DO THAT EXTRA-COMPLICATED CHRISTMAS TABLE DECORATION, PERHAPS. SWITCH OFF THE PHONES, DON'T TAKE THE WORK HOME, PULL THE BLINDS DOWN. ONE OF MY CLIENTS EVEN PRETENDED THEY WEREN'T HOME ` TOLD THEIR FRIENDS THEY WEREN'T HOME, BUT THEY STAYED HOME. WHEN YOU GET HOME, DON'T GET CAUGHT UP WITH WHAT THE CHILDREN HAVE GOT GOING ON FOR THE DAY, OR HAVE HAD GOING ON FOR THE DAY, INSTEAD, JUST TAKE 10, MAYBE 15 MINUTES WITH YOUR LOVED ONE, RELAX. CAN THE PARENTS HAVE A... YOU KNOW, DURING THE PAUSE? SURE! (POP!) HERE'S TO A HAPPY, ANXIETY-FREE CHR` SHH! DON'T SAY 'CHRISTMAS'. YOU'LL STRESS ME OUT. THAT IS A LOT OF SENSE ACTUALLY. I IMAGINE... HAVE YOU DONE YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? YES. WHEN DID YOU DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING? I DO IT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. I DO A LOT OF IT ONLINE. PEOPLE ARE THROWING THINGS AT THE TV AND I'M SORRY. I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. I GATHER THING THROUGHOUT THE. I HAVE A WORD OF ADVICE. DON'T DO A BEEF WELLINGTON ON CHRISTMAS DAY. I DID THAT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND I WAS A VERY GRUMPY PUNTER. ON A HOT DAY, THAT FLAKY PUFF PASTRY... IT IS A NIGHTMARE. THAT IS MY WORD OF ADVICE. DON'T TRY ANYTHING YOU. DON'T TRY A NEW DISH. I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE AND THAT WAS A DISASTER. FATAL. A BIG TEST FOR THE CONTROVERSIAL LIME SCOOTERS IN CHRISTCHURCH THIS AFTERNOON, WHAT WITH ALL THE LUBRICATED PUNTERS AROUND FOR CUP DAY. SO, DID IT ALL END IN TEARS? WELL, WE SENT A SEVEN SHARP CAMERAMAN TO FIND OUT. (UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC) (FRENETIC BANJO MUSIC) ('YAKETY SAX') HOLD ON FOR A SECOND. WHY ALL THOSE PEOPLE GETTING CARRIED? AT LEAST THEY WENT ONLINE SCOOTERS CARRYING SOMEBODY AS WELL. A FASCINATED DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A HELMET. THE HEELS ON THE LIME... THAT ARE SOME GREAT SKILLS. WE DIDN'T SEE ANY ACCIDENTS. FROM AROUND THE RACEWAY BEFORE RACE-GOERS EMERGED. JUST A NOTE ` THE PEOPLE FROM LIME SCOOTERS DID ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THEM FROM AROUND THE RACEWAY BEFORE RACE-GOERS EMERGED. BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL OF THEM GOT PICKED UP. THIS IS A GREAT SEGUE INTO MY NEW SEGMENT, HIGHLIGHTING THE LATEST IN ECO-FRIENDLY, FUN, ELECTRIC RIDE-SHARING PRODUCTS. FIRST UP, ELECTRIC MOPEDS. THEY'VE GOT SOME ON AUCKLAND'S NORTH SHORE. AND, LIKE E-SCOOTERS, E-MOPEDS ARE UNLOCKED USING AN APP. KWIK-LI MOPEDS CAN GO 50km/h. THEY COME WITH HELMETS, AND YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED THEM ON THE MOTORWAY. THAT WAS DOWN MY HOOD. THAT WAS DONE MY MAIN STREET. AND THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THOSE E-SCOOTERS, LIME, IS LOOKING INTO RENAULT TWIZYS FOR THEIR RIDE-SHARING PROGRAMME IN THE U.S. THE ELECTRIC MICRO-CAR CAN DO 80km/h, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY ROAD-LEGAL FOR NEW ZEALAND. SURELY NOT FAR AWAY. LOOK AT THAT. YOU WOULD LOOK GOOD IN THAT. YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO GO OVER THE HARBOUR BRIDGE AND THAT. IT IS PERFECT FOR YOU. I THINK IT WOULD BE FOR TIPPING AROUND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, BECOME BE TAKING THAT ON STATE HIGHWAY ONE. THAT GUYS ON THE BACK SEAT THERE. A FEW PEOPLE AT THE CUP THEY WOULD BE HOPING FOR ONE OF THOSE. THAT WOULD BE SAFER THAN THE SCOOTER. THIS WEEKEND, AUCKLAND WILL HOST THE BIGGEST BEER PONG EVENT IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ` 640 COMPETITORS, ALL VYING FOR THE TOP PRIZE OF $10,000. IT STARTED AS AN AMERICAN FRAT HOUSE DRINKING GAME. NOW IT'S CONSIDERED A SPORT, WHICH MANY PEOPLE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY, LIKE THE OLDIES AT THE SELWYN CENTRE. CAROLYN ROBINSON WENT FOR A LOOK. BEER PONG CHALLENGE, EVERYONE! I GIVE YOU BEER PONG! LET'S DO THIS. HEY! (CHEERING) IT'S A DRINKING GAME THAT'S EVOLVED INTO A SPORT. IT'S ALL ABOUT MAKING BEER PONG ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE IN NEW ZEALAND. AND IT'S GROWN AND DONE ALL SORTS OF WEIRD THINGS OVER THAT TIME PERIOD. INCLUDING BEING TAKEN UP BY AN UNEXPECTED GROUP. YES! SO CLOSE, PAT. A YEAR OR SO AGO, KIRSTEN CONTACTED US AND SAID SHE WANTED SOME TABLES TO PUT IN REST HOMES. AND WE THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL. I ACTUALLY SAW THE BEER PONG ON YOUTUBE. AND I THOUGHT, 'I COULD MAKE THAT A GAME FOR MY OLD PEOPLE.' YOU'VE GOT A BIT OF SKILL. YOU CAN HAVE A BIT OF SMACK TALK. THERE'S NO REASON THAT YOUR GRANDMA CAN'T BEAT YOU AT THIS. SO IT'S A GOOD LEVELLER. WE CALL IT THE SPORT FOR THE AVERAGE ATHLETE. AND THESE AVERAGE ATHLETES ARE NAILING IT. (CHEERING) THESE COMPETITORS ARE AGED FROM THEIR 70s RIGHT UP TO THEIR 90s. SOME OF THEM HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. IT MIGHT BE DEPRESSION. THERE ARE SOME OTHER ONES WITH LOW TO MODERATE DEMENTIA. I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK. OH, AMNESIA! THAT'S THE ONE I'M THINKING OF. (CHUCKLES) THAT'S ME! AMNESIA ` THAT'S WHY I FORGOT! TWICE A WEEK, THEY GATHER HERE. TEA REPLACES THE BEER, AND THEY PLAY. # I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPIER. KIRSTEN SAYS MEN ESPECIALLY SEEM TO ENJOY IT. MEN LIKE COMPETITION. THEY LIKE TO ANALYSE IT, ANALYSE THE NUMBER AND SEE WHO'S WINNING AND NOT. LIKE NEVILLE. # THEN HE DOES THE PONG DANCE. YOU'RE REALLY GOOD! ME? (CHUCKLES) YEAH, I AM. THIS SATURDAY WILL SEE HUNDREDS COMPETE IN THE KIWI PONG CHAMPS AT THE AUCKLAND TOWN HALL. OH! (BLEEP) SORRY. THIS TEAM WON'T BE GOING, BUT... I WAS VERY TEMPTED. NEVILLE WOULD BE A GREAT ONE. (LAUGHS) NEVILLE. NEVILLE WOULD BE YOUR MAN. YES. # I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPIER. SISTER MARIE LOVES IT TOO. SHE COMES FROM THE CATHOLIC RETIREMENT HOME TO PLAY. WHY DO YOU COME AND PLAY IT? I WAS INVITED TO COME. I'M IN MY 80s NOW. OH, YOU ARE NOT. NO! OH, YES, I AM. I KNOW THAT MUCH. SPREAD OUT. WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN FRESH BAKING,... A HOT CUPPA,... 'YOU DON'T NEED TO,...' SOME LAUGHS... ...RETORTED HIS WIFE. 'JUST LISTEN!' OH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE. AND A BIT OF BEER PONG? THAT IS WONDERFUL. I LOVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO MY FAMILY THAT WHEN I'M OF AN AGE WHERE I GO TO A PLACE LIKE THAT, THE PONG WILL BE PLAYED WITH BEER, AT THE VERY LEAST. I'M SURPRISED IT'S NOT GIN. OR GIN. STRAIGHT GIN - DELICIOUS. STILL TO COME ` WHY ON EARTH AM I HELPING OUT AT AN AUCKLAND HAIR SALON? I'M JUST A BIT ROUGH. I JUST GOT HIM IN THE EYE. PLUS, WE ALL TEND TO THINK LIFE WAS SO MUCH BETTER AND CHEAPER BACK IN THE DAY. BUT WAS IT? WE TRAVEL BACK TO 1978. (LORDE'S 'RIBS' PLAYS) WELCOME BACK. LORDE AIN'T HAPPY. SHE'S CALLED OUT KANYE WEST ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR STEALING HER SET DESIGN. SO THIS IS WHAT IT'S OVER ` THIS IS LORDE PERFORMING AROUND A FLOATING SEE-THROUGH SHIPPING CONTAINER AT COACHELLA LAST YEAR. IT WAS A SET SHE USED DURING HER MELODRAMA WORLD TOUR. AND HERE IS KANYE'S DURING A PERFORMANCE OVER THE WEEKEND, ALSO IN A FLOATING SHIPPING CONTAINER. LET'S COMPARE KANYE AND LORDE'S SETS. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. LET'S HAVE A LITTLE LOOK. LORD ON THE RIGHT, KANYE ON THE LEFT. HE HAS RIPPED HER OFF. SHE IS NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO PUT THE FLOATING A SHIPPING CONTAINER ON THE STAGE. I REMEMBER SEEING OUTKAST, AND THEY WERE IN A BOX. IT WASN'T FLOATING. IT IS VERY UNIQUE. SHE SAID WHEN SHE CALLED OUT MR WEST, SHE SAID, I AM PROUD OF THE WORK I DO AND IT IS FLATTERING WHEN OTHER ARTISTS FEEL INSPIRED BY A TO THE EXTENT TO THAT THEY TRY IT ON FOR THEMSELVES. BUT DON'T STEAL, NOT FROM WOMAN OR ANYONE ELSE. WHAT'S GOT TO DO WITH WOMEN? IT IS SUFFRAGE 125. IT IS THE YEAR OF WOMAN. THEY USED TO BE GREAT MATES. I THINK THERE IS A BIT OF FALLING OUT GOING ON THERE. DO YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF WHETHER LIFE SEEMS MORE EXPENSIVE NOW THAN IT USED TO BE IN THE PAST? TONIGHT, IN THE FINAL OF A THREE-PART SERIES, WE TIME-TRAVEL BACK TO 1978. JULIAN LEE WITH THE PEOPLE OF OAMARU, WHERE MUCH OF THE TOWN STILL LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE IT DID 40 YEARS AGO. JUST IN CASE YOU WEREN'T AWARE, SEVEN SHARP HAS STUMBLED ACROSS A TIME MACHINE IN OAMARU. AND WE'VE BEEN USING IT FOR JOURNALISTIC PURPOSES. NOSTALGIA MAKES US FEEL LIKE LIFE WAS NOT ONLY BETTER BUT CHEAPER BACK IN THE DAY. BUT WAS IT? OX TONGUE'S SO DEAR. IS IT? YEAH. OX TONGUE'S VERY DEAR NOW, AND THAT WAS A STAPLE. YEAH, WELL, YOU COULD GET THEM FOR ABOUT $2. FRUIT, FOR EXAMPLE, WAS SLIGHTLY MORE EXPENSIVE. APPLES WERE OVER 5 BUCKS A KILO. BUTTER WAS WAY CHEAPER ` IT WAS ABOUT $3.40 IN TODAY'S PRICES. AND YOU CAN PICK ONE OF THESE NOW FOR ABOUT 7 OR 8 BUCKS. EGGS WERE ABOUT THE SAME ` $6, $7 A DOZEN. ONE OF THESE WAS ABOUT 60 CENTS IN TODAY'S MONEY. EVEN THOUGH THE BUTTER WAS MUCH MORE CHEAPER, THE CHEESE WAS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS ABOUT $15 IN TODAY'S MONEY, WHEREAS YOU CAN PICK UP ONE OF THESE FOR ABOUT 9 OR 10 BUCKS. AND FINALLY, THE OTHER STUFF ` THE STUFF THAT WASN'T PART OF THE NORMAL DIET, SUCH AS SALMON, WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. WE PICKED UP THIS FOR A COUPLE OF BUCKS, BUT IN 1978, THIS WAS ABOUT $7. BUT PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE BEEN BUYING LESS GROCERIES. PEOPLE GREW THEIR OWN VEGETABLES AND DID ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF, SO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE BUSY. WE'RE LOOKING AT QUICK MEALS AND PACKET MEALS OUT OF THE FREEZER NOW, WHEREAS WE DID EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH. MUM DID ALL HOME BAKING, SO IF YOU EVER HAD SOMETHING THAT WAS BOUGHT ` BISCUITS AND THINGS ` THAT WAS A TREAT. THE TRUE HOUSEHOLD EXPENSE AT THE TIME WAS... APPLIANCES, FURNITURE, CLOTHES. A SMALL COLOUR TV, FOR EXAMPLE, WAS OVER 7 GRAND IN TODAY'S MONEY; A WASHING MACHINE, 3 GRAND; A VACUUM CLEANER WAS ALMOST 800 BUCKS. OVERSEAS HOLIDAYS WERE A LUXURY. WE DID GO AWAY ON A FEW HOLIDAYS, BUT NOT LIKE I'VE PROBABLY DONE WITH MY KIDS. THAT'S WHEN YOU SORT OF BUDGETED ON THINGS, TOO. YOU HAD TO REALLY WATCH YOUR MONEY. ARCHIVE: WE USUALLY BUY A CARTON OF CIGARETTES A WEEK. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO HAVE SOME LUXURIES IN LIFE, I THINK. SMOKING'S NOT THAT BAD. WHILE MANY WOMEN STILL STAYED AT HOME, MEN WORKED ` USUALLY SOMEWHERE LIKE HERE, THE ALLIANCE MEATWORKS AT PUKEURI. JOBS WERE SOMETIMES LESS STABLE, THOUGH. THERE USED TO BE A LOT OF ITINERANT WORKERS HERE WHO WOULD TRAVEL UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRYSIDE. THE AVERAGE MEATWORKER EARNED JUST SHY OF 30 BUCKS AN HOUR IN TODAY'S MONEY ` ABOUT 60 GRAND A YEAR. THAT'S IF YOU DIDN'T BLOW IT ALL ON A THURSDAY NIGHT. THE FACT PEOPLE GOT PAID IN CASH THEN, THOUGH, FOR A SINGLE PERSON, MEANT THAT SOMETIMES THEY MAY HAVE LOST IT A LOT QUICKER. IT WASN'T SITTING IN THE BANK; IT WAS IN THEIR HAND ON A THURSDAY AFTERNOON, SO THE PUBS WOULD HAVE BEEN BUSY. YEAH, HUGELY. THE PUBS WERE CHEAP. A PINT WAS 3 OR 4 BUCKS IN TODAY'S MONEY, COMPARED TO UP TO $10 NOW, OR MORE IN AUCKLAND. THAT'S EVEN WITH ALL THE BEER FLOGGING THAT SEEMED TO BE GOING ON IN THE '70S. ARCHIVE: THESE CANS HAVE COME DIRECT FROM THE BREWERY IN HAWKE'S BAY. BUT OFTEN, BY THE TIME THEY'RE PICKED UP FROM THE RAILWAY STATION, DOZENS OF CANS HAVE GONE MISSING. BUT THERE WAS ONE COST WHICH MADE LIFE IN NEW ZEALAND WAY CHEAPER THAN NOW. YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED IT ` HOUSING. IN TODAY'S MONEY, IT COST AROUND $150,000 TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE. 40 YEARS LATER, THAT COST HAS TRIPLED. THE ONLY THING STOPPING US FROM LIVING THE '70S DREAM, OF ALL THINGS ` CONSTRUCTION COSTS. DON'T YOU MISS STUBBIES? WHAT ABOUT THE TRAFFIC COP CAR? LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE 1978, MY MUM MADE EVERYTHING. WE DIDN'T BUY BISCUITS. SHE MADE ALL MY CLOTHES. ALL OF THEM. AND SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SEAMSTRESS. YOU ARE, MUM. THAT CAN IS WHEN I GOT TO 13 SHE LET ME BUY SOME CLOTHES. THE OVERSEAS HOLIDAYS... THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE IN THOSE DAYS. INTERESTING, TVS. YOUR MEMBER THE OLD PHILLIPS COLOUR TELEVISION? NO REMOTE CONTROLS BACK THEN. I TELL YOU WHAT, IT IS IN THE BAG. EVERYONE WANTED THE PHILIPS K9. QUALITY SHOWS. THEY SHOULD BRING IT BACK. SHOULD BE BRING BACK, IT'S IN THE BAG. LET'S START A SCENE. YOU WOULD BE A GREAT HOST OF THAT. I DIDN'T DO THAT JUSTICE. SHE HAD SHORT LIGHT HAIR? SHE WAS A BIT HOTTER THAN ME. COMING UP, THE WOMEN MAKING SURE TEENAGE GIRLS DON'T MISS OUT ON SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD VITAL SUPPLIES. IF THE GIRLS GET THESE PRODUCTS, THEY CAN GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. WELCOME BACK. THE BOSS HERE AT SEVEN SHARP MADE AN EXECUTIVE DECISION RECENTLY ORDERING HILARY TO START PULLING HER WEIGHT AND HELP PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE A WEEK. WHY NOT ME, YOU ASK? WELL, BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY. NOW, LAST WEEK, HILARY MADE A BIT OF SCENE, GIVING AWAY SAFETY EQUIPMENT TO PEOPLE ON E-SCOOTERS. DID I SAVE LIVES? I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. THIS WEEK, THOUGH, I HAVE A FAR MORE IMPORTANT JOB. A GIRL FRIDAY, IF YOU WILL, TO A COUPLE OF BOSS LADIES MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO GIRLS RIGHT AROUND THE COUNTRY. (ELECTRONIC POP MUSIC) THIS WEEK ON HILARY HELPS, WE'RE AT A HAIR SALON IN GREY LYNN WHERE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IS HAPPENING INSIDE. HI, SOALA. HI, HILARY! I'M HERE TO HELP. HELLO! GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. LOVELY TO SEE YOU TOO. I CAN SEE YOU'RE VERY BUSY. LOOK, WE'VE GOT SUPPLIES TO GO OUT TO RUTHERFORD COLLEGE TODAY. OK. I CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT. REALLY? SOALA WILSON'S GOT A LOT ON. RUNNING A BUSY HAIRDRESSING BUSINESS WITH HER FRIEND AND ACCOUNTANT CHRISSY... THAT'S CHRISSY, DEALING WITH THE PAPERWORK. ...AND BEING A GUARDIAN ANGEL TO NUMEROUS GIRLS. YOU SEE, SHE AND CHRISSY STARTED A CHARITY, SPINZS, AFTER HEARING THAT GIRLS WERE SKIPPING SCHOOL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE THEIR FAMILIES COULDN'T AFFORD TO BUY THEM SANITARY PRODUCTS. THEY WEREN'T HAVING A BAR OF IT. I THOUGHT, 'OH. OH, THIS IS ME.' I FELT A CONNECTION TO IT BECAUSE I GREW UP POOR. YOU KNOW, TOILET PAPER WAS... WHAT WE HAD, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY. WE REALLY WERE POOR. I GUESS IT'S THAT THING OF, I KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE AND EMPATHY IS WHAT BINDS OUR WORLD TOGETHER. IF THE GIRLS CAN GET THESE PRODUCTS, THEY CAN GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. THE SALON'S WHERE THESE FAIRY GODMOTHERS MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN, RECEIVING DONATIONS OF PADS, TAMPONS AND CUPS, BOXING THEM UP AND DELIVERING THEM TO SCHOOLS ALL OVER NEW ZEALAND. OH, AND ALL WHILE RUNNING THE SALON TOO. I'M GOING TO BE YOUR HELPER TODAY. YOU NEED TO CRACK THE WHIP. OK. CHRISSY TELLS ME, 'YOU CAN'T HAVE CLIENTS COMING IN CHRISSY TELLS ME, 'YOU CAN'T HAVE CLIENTS COMING IN 'AND BE GREETED BY ALL OF THIS.' YOU KNOW WHAT, I BET YOUR CLIENTS DON'T MIND. OK, A CUT AND COLOUR AT 11.30? I'LL JUST CHECK. SOALA? YES? CAN YOU DO AN 11.30 FOR A CUT AND COLOUR? ABSOLUTELY, YES. OK. YEP. I'M A BIT... HOW ARE YOU DOING? I'M JUST A BIT ROUGH. I JUST GOT HIM IN THE EYE. OOPS, IN THE EAR. SORRY. HERE WE GO. I HOPE I HAVEN'T LOST YOU A CLIENT. SORRY ABOUT THAT HAIR WASH THING. DO YOU WANT ME TO FOLD THOSE TOWELS? YES, PLEASE. JEEPERS, THAT SOALA. SHE'S PRETTY BUSY AROUND HERE. YOU'VE GOT TO HURRY UP. WE'VE GOT BOXES TO PACK. ALL RIGHTY, ALL RIGHTY. THEY ARE SLAVE DRIVERS. OK. WELL, YOU CARRY ON DOING THE HAIR, AND I'LL JUST DO THIS. EXCELLENT. I'M ALL GOOD. DON'T YOU WORRY. I GOT THIS. WOW. WHO KNEW PADS COULD BE SO HEAVY? ROOKIE MISTAKE. OPEN THE BOOT FI` OPEN THE BOOT FIRST. NO, NO, NO, I'M GOOD. RUTHERFORD COLLEGE, HERE WE COME. SEE YA! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, HILARY. AND HERE WE ARE, DROPPING OFF THOSE SUPPLIES TO EMMA, THE SCHOOL NURSE AT RUTHERFORD COLLEGE. DON'T USE YOUR BACK LIKE A CRANE. OH, HI, EMMA. HI, HILARY. 1922 PADS, ALL YOURS. OH, WOW. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. BYE. THAT'S BEEN A GREAT HELP, HILARY. YOU'RE WELCOME. YOU'RE WELCOME. NO PROBLEM THERE WITH THE PACE. DON'T BE MEAN. IT WAS WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT. AND IF YOU WANT TO HELP OUT, MAYBE MAKE A DONATION. ALL THE DETAILS ARE ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. THOSE WERE OUR PEOPLE TODAY. THAT WAS SEVEN SHARP TONIGHT. WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW. OUTBACK TRUCKERS IS NEXT.
