Asparagus beds

Vicki from Fendalton

Hi neighbours
I'm wanting to grow asparagus but I believe it takes a couple of years to establish. If anyone happens to be taking out any beds, I would love to take them off your hands. Thanks.

Empty beer crates

Laura from Burnside

Hi there,

Does anyone know where I would be able to get a bunch of empty beer crates from? I've tried local alcohol stores but they don't sell them anymore!

Thanks 😊😊😊

Have you ever been frustrated by how your family has been treated on a day out?

Suspecting they'd been over charged, Kim Sze asked to see the receipt after ordering breakfast at Coffee Supreme, Christchurch.

What she didn't expect was to read a strange insult targeted at her two-year-old daughter, Micah. Instead of asking for a name for the table, the receipt showed that staff had called their table "Family with the terrifying kid".

Sze said Supreme Coffee's management had "apologised profusely" after she contacted them, but she was still frustrated about how young families can be treated when they go out.

Elusion is working right thru Christmas and New Year

So on … View moreThis year Elusion Electrical was super excited to have Shan on holiday over Christmas which is abnormal when you live with a ED Nurse. Holiday was in the planning and then out 2 beautiful teens landed jobs and committed to working all hours over this period (actually very proud of them). So on reflection we have decided to stay OPEN ALL CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS period. Its great news to all our customers who may have things go wrong over this period but also if you have been delaying those bigger jobs due to thinking no trades will be around over that time we say GO FOR IT, we are here.
Also just to remind you we will always come out to urgent jobs, even on public holidays. We don't want to see any of our clients without power or hot water or unable to keen their Christmas dessert cold.

Speaking of warmer weather and the silly season remember your home security. Keep doors and windows locked when out in the garden and think seriously about alarms and or security cameras.
We have a friend whos family is being targeted with eggs and stones thrown at their house over a 3 month period. Police cannot do anything without evidence of who it is so we are looking at putting in cameras for them to help keep their family safe. Even more devastating is this appears to be racially motivated, and this family also lost friends on March 15th, but it could happen to anyone.

Happy cup week everyone
Stay safe and above all be kind
