See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Hi there
Due to earthquakes I'm looking for someone to do work to fix areas of fence at our place and also to lay concrete pad for Garden shed.
Any recommendations appreciated.

Taking the time to talk
Don't end up with;
“If only I had talked to my family about what I want for my funeral”.
It’s not always easy to think about, let alone talk about your own death. But if you take the time to consider how you would like to be fare-welled and talk about it with your family, then you could save your family some stress when the time comes. Instead of having to make decisions about coffin finishes and song sheets, your family can focus on supporting each other in their bereavement.

The sirens will be tested on Sunday at 11am.
They will sound for up to three minutes and will only be heard within a few blocks of the coast between Brooklands and Taylors Mistake.
If the sirens sound for more than 10 minutes it is no longer a test and you should move inland to higher ground.

“People shouldn’t be alarmed to hear the sirens going off and don’t need to evacuate,’’ said Christchurch City Council Head of Civil Defence Alicia Palmer. “This is the first of two tests we do each year to ensure the sirens are working properly.
“It is a good reminder though to make sure you and your family have an evacuation plan and essential supplies at the ready in case you need to leave in a hurry.’’
