Facing the facts: Statistics show that 73 per cent of young people (aged 14-18) are consuming too much sugar. Ensure you help them create good habits and teach them to brush and floss from a young age.

Planning is key: Make sure to mark your moving boxes clearly. You can use stickers to colour code which room they belong to, fragile tape to mark delicate items and markers to note 'heavy' and 'do not cut with a knife' boxes.

Prepare to make the move as smooth as possible

This is Ceclia Jean Rivett in Redcliffs in the 1920s. As the wife of the general hardware store manager, she did the full candlelight supper routine weekly.

Ned, the seven year old kelpie is now looking for his new best friend! Ned is happiest when he is around his humans and bonds quite quickly to the people who give him love and attention. He still has a lot of energy for his age and loves going for walks and runs with his foster carers, but is also more than happy to curl up and relax with them too. He gets along well with other dogs and is also great with cats, making him an all round great companion for almost any home. Neds adoption fee is $400 which helps cover some of the costs with his vet work and foster care. If you think Ned may be the dog for you, please contact Christie via email: xt_291@yahoo.com.au.
