Picking the perfect valentine is a little bit like the perfect finish on any hone improvements. If you chose quality from the start it reaps long term perfection.

We have been doing a little open homing recently and boy you really can tell the people who have saved a little bit here and there or attempted to do it themselves. Elusions products are sometimes a little more expensive than sourcing yourself but it comes with that quality guarantee.

Hopefully your Valentine spoils you today!

From reporter Steven Walton:
-----------------
New builds without car parks can be unleashed on suburban Christchurch this week.

But where are the best spots for this? One developer considers them to be suburbs near the central city, like Merivale.

Following a Government directive, the Christchurch City Council will remove all minimum car parking requirements from its district plan on February 18.

This means both residential and commercial new builds, anywhere in the city, do not have to provide car parks. Developers could still choose to add them if they wanted to.

What do you think of the new rules? Read the full story here and share your thoughts in the comments below.
