I started dieting when I was 12 years old. I wasn’t overweight but I felt pudgy and I wanted a new boy at school to like me. Somehow, I obtained a calorie counting book and quickly memorized it. Each day, I tried hard to reach my goal of eating a certain number of calories. It was well below what I needed to eat as a growing child, but I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just wanted to get rid of my squishy stomach and eat a little less.

Do you have an egg chair you would like to sell?

Tanya from Burwood

Hi everyone,

My daughter is on the lookout for an egg chair that we can hang in her room to make a nice quiet reading space. She's saved up $250, so if you have one that you no longer use and would be interested in selling it to her that would be within her budget we would really love to … View more
Hi everyone,

My daughter is on the lookout for an egg chair that we can hang in her room to make a nice quiet reading space. She's saved up $250, so if you have one that you no longer use and would be interested in selling it to her that would be within her budget we would really love to hear from you. Given the space available in her room it would be ideal if it was one of the smaller sized ones (I've included a picture to show the type of ones that would fit and an example of the bigger ones that wouldn't). It doesn't have to come with its stand since we'll be hanging it inside.

Thanks so much,

Tanya :-)

A toy bunny lost and then left on top of a skip after the anti-mandate occupation at Parliament has been reunited with its owner, thanks to social media.

Richard Falkner, who works in central Wellington, found the soiled Peter Rabbit toy on top of a water tank used as a makeshift bin at Aitken St last week, before taking it home and giving it a clean. Read more here.

Nestled on leafy Windermere Road, you’ll discover a friendly community at The Bellevue. Marie has experienced it first-hand, telling us, “this is the place I’ve been able to make friends.”

Reflecting on when she first moved to the leafy village, Marie says, “Sarah (Guest Service Manager) got to know me in the first week. I had dinner with her.” Adding with a smile, “The chef here is absolutely marvelous.”

But Marie’s social life isn’t limited to delicious dinner dates; there’s always something happening at The Bellevue. “Sarah gets to know the residents and what they want to do. Everyone is different and has different needs. She’ll arrange things for what we want to do.”

Our Care Suites not only offer both Rest Home and Hospital care but feel like home too, with a living area, kitchenette and ensuite. And Marie couldn’t be happier. “I love my room. I have a little outside patio area. I can boil the jug and make myself a cup of tea and I can entertain friends. I have miles of photos up. I like having lots of photos around me.”

At The Bellevue, Marie has found that feeling many of us are searching for, “I wake up every morning and feel good.”
