Goes well. $40-$45 to fill the tank and that would last me 2weeks. It's been our daily for about 14 years. Been very reliable. Always serviced and WOF'ED. Had all the belts changed around about the 160000km mark. So economical. Excellent for a learner or someone wanting a smaller car. I've only upgraded because I needed a bigger car for the kids and travelling for work. If interested message me to set up a time to view.

Lost Canary?

Kim from St Albans

Has anyone lost a canary? One flew in front of my car on Colombo Street, north of Bealey Ave, around 8.15am this morning (Friday 12 May). I stopped and tried to catch it but it flew up too high. Last seen in a tree opposite the dairy near Purchas Street.

Hi all.

I'm a qualified Health and Wellbeing Coach with my new business called Serenity Health. My aim is to educate people so they can improve their health and wellbeing so they can lead happier and healthier lives.

I have just produced a PDF booklet called "Serenity Sugar Strike" which can be purchased through my website and is instantly downloadable. It informs you what sugar really is, what it does to the body, gives you tips to watch your sugar consumption and lists commonly eaten foods and shows just how much sugar is in them. It also provides a cut the sugar diet plan to follow and 25 low processed sugar recipes to try.

Grab a copy today! It only costs $29.90 and gives you so much information plus recipes!

The link to the booklet is:-

serenityhealth.co.nz...

Excessive sugar consumption leads to so many health issues in today's society including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Sugar is being placed in foods to compensate for the lack of fat in the low fat fad era and a lot of people just aren't aware of what excessive processed sugar consumption is really doing to their body and health.

Please support my new business. Thank you!

Gill Judge (Serenity Health).

Last week we published an article about a proposal for a mens homeless shelter that is seeking funding from the Christchurch City Council through the Linwood-Central-Heathcote community board.

In that article, reference was made to Street 10. There were some inaccuracies in that article about Street 10 which we regret.

Street 10 was not merely an "inner city day pad ... [for] the men to clean up and relax over coffee," and we apologise for any inference that it was.

Street 10 was based in Liverpool Street, not Manchester St as stated. It did not close because of the 2011 earthquake, although the building was destroyed.

Street 10 closed because, despite running a mobile support service for a year following the February 2011 earthquake where the team went around public parks giving out drinks, food, blankets, reassurance and information about what services were still operating, the trust couldn't compete with all the businesses previously in the CBD for a new building and could not get the funding needed to pay a higher rent.

The day centre proposed by the Collective for the Homeless does not replicate what was provided by Street 10, which was overseen by the Inner City Interagency Trust. While that comparison was drawn by key backer, Brenda Lowe-Johnson, there are key differences, including the inclusion of women, the community development model of practice in which Street 10 was based, the representation of people at every level of the organisation including the Trust Board and the multiple services Street 10 provided based on the self identified needs of people without safe and secure accommodation.

The article in question also quoted Ms Mora, despite the fact that the reporter had not recently spoken to her. The comments were misquoted from a story written some years ago and for this we unreservedly apologise.
