What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Chlorination is to blame for damaged hot water cylinders in Christchurch and could cause further problems to pipes and foundations, according to a University of Canterbury study. Have you been affected by this?

I visited the local mitre ten this morning where a volunteer for the Breast Cancer Foundation was collecting donations, had a wee bit of change which I normally don't carry to give it to him.

He said he had been collecting for 2 hours and I was the third person to give a donation. I found this sad so asked if they had a number you could Txt and donate and I'd place a note on neighbourly so if there is anyone wanting to donate to this cause the number to Txt is 4499 to give $3.

The more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there.
You may have the greatest space in the world, but clutter and uncleanliness is only going to obscure it and make the rooms look smaller. Consider hiring a storage unit for a third of your stuff.
Buyers will open your cupboards and closets too, so make sure you take time to look at these.
