Fireworks show

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

That was another brilliant show of bangers at the Blast. I watched it from my annex window. Loved it. The giant heart is my favourite part.

Now just to wait for the annual Peak fire. Which night, how big, and will the idiots get caught?

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price.
