10 seater dining suite
We are selling our gorgeous solid oak extending dining suite - it's too big for our new house. I bought it at Country Theme in Wellington - they have very similar tables for sale at Mango in Greytown for around $3000. The table is made from recycled Irish oak, and has a rich distressed and mid-stained finish. It is in excellent condition. It measures 2100 mm long unextended and 2400mm with the extension folded out (very simple mechanism). I would like $1800 for the table. I also have a set of 10 padded leather dining chairs for sale for $400 - in reasonable condition, a few cat scratches on some of these. To complete the set I have a matching recycled oak dining console with 3 drawers for $900 - in excellent condition.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
