New Year's Eve festivals dotted down the length of the country are drawing thousands of party-goers with music, dancing and drinking, but options for those hoping to enjoy celebrating in Canterbury appear pretty slim.

Organised events for those in the Garden City looking to ring in the new year are mostly confined to pubs, bars and restaurants.

But there is the annual family-friendly celebrations in North Hagley Park. The night will kick off with family entertainment from 6pm, including a performance from comedian Mullet Man, free activities, fairies, and a kids countdown at 8pm. Headline act The Jordan Luck Band will take the stage before a midnight fireworks display.

What have you got planned this New Year's Eve?

Is it a vespula wasp (German or common) or a paper wasp? Find out the difference here.

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.

- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.

- ​Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

How much do flash jandals cost now?

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've … View moreJandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop.

But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've seen in the beach boutiques nowadays?

Hi everyone!

I am currently working only in the evenings, so have a lot of free time during the day or on the weekends if anyone is looking for a babysitter, especially during the school holidays.

About me:

I am 30 years old, run my own business teaching dance, and am local to St Albans. I have my full license, and car that is rego'd and warranted. I have no kids of my own, but have 4 nieces and nephews that I look after regularly, and have been babysitting since I was a teen.

I do not hold a current first aid certificate, but have done the course many times as I was a support worker/ caregiver for both elderly and people with mental health disabilities. There isn't much I can't handle!

Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

Liv :)
