My wee family is relocating down to the South Island early in the New Year so wanted to ask if anyone out there has any moving boxes etc. lying around you no longer require or may be looking to get rid of?

We have found the My Food Bag boxes and wool lined chiller bags come in very handy so definitely if you have some of these lying around we would be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks and wishing a Happy New Year to all of you reading this!!

Gerrard, currently Jacinda Ardern’s chief science advisor, has been named a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit​ in the New Year Honours.

While she hasn’t really processed what it means on a personal level, it hasn’t stopped the Freemans Bay resident from sharing the news with her 75-year-old mum in the United Kingdom, who got a kick out of getting the good news on her birthday.

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Summer daytrips out of Auckland always seem like a great plan until you’re trapped in a sticky motorway crawl, with thousands of other people who had the same bright idea.

But swap your roadie for a ferry and you’ll gain time, save petrol, and get sweet views from the water to boot.

But swap your roadie for a ferry and you’ll gain time, save petrol, and get sweet views from the water to boot.

Rangitoto and Waiheke might be the obvious island destinations, but there are plenty more places you can explore via the water.
