If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.
Find out more about this destructive pest by reading through our new interactive feature on Stuff which explores the tools we have in the fight to rid wasps from New Zealand for good.
This old wooden cabinet has been in our garage for a while but now time to leave.
In need of some repairs - the back foot is broken so is a bit wobbly unless you prop it up. Also a bit of borer that needs treating. One side also has a crack down the wood.

In need of some repairs - the back foot is broken so is a bit wobbly unless you prop it up. Also a bit of borer that needs treating. One side also has a crack down the wood. Nice project for someone into woodwork, or just a rough cupboard for someone in need of storage space.

Lytteltonians keen on riding their bikes to work are being stopped in their tracks by the lack of a cheap, reliable way through the tunnel – and they want the regional council to help.
Sarah Van Der Burch made a submission to Environment Canterbury (ECan) on Wednesday on behalf of the wider community.
The harbourside region is partitioned off from the rest of Christchurch by the Port Hills, and the quickest way through is the 2 kilometre-long Lyttelton tunnel.
But that posed an issue for cyclists, Van Der Burch said, as the tunnel was open to motorised vehicles only. That left avid cyclists with three options; drive their bike through by car, catch a bus, or go the long way.
Van Der Burch proposed a few potential fixes to ECan, like allowing a few bikes inside the bus when racks were full, or either reducing or eliminating fares to get off the bus with a bike at the gondola, on the other side of the tunnel.
What do you think ECan should do? Read the full story here and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Reflecting on when she first moved to the leafy village, Marie says, “Sarah (Guest Service Manager) got to know me in the first week. I had dinner with her.” Adding with a smile, “The chef here is absolutely marvelous.”
But Marie’s social life isn’t limited to delicious dinner dates; there’s always something happening at The Bellevue. “Sarah gets to know the residents and what they want to do. Everyone is different and has different needs. She’ll arrange things for what we want to do.”
Our Care Suites not only offer both Rest Home and Hospital care but feel like home too, with a living area, kitchenette and ensuite. And Marie couldn’t be happier. “I love my room. I have a little outside patio area. I can boil the jug and make myself a cup of tea and I can entertain friends. I have miles of photos up. I like having lots of photos around me.”
At The Bellevue, Marie has found that feeling many of us are searching for, “I wake up every morning and feel good.”
