Friday Feathered Friend
It is not Friday but here is a couple of lovely pictures from Rosa marie who ventured out from stokes Valley.
"A quick trip to Pāuatahanui Inlet today was a wee bit spoilt by the constant drizzle but what put the smile on the dial were the sight of not one but at least 3 fernbirds who were in the scrubby bits leading up to one of the huts. It made our day! There were some very cute little Canada geese chicks in the water too."
What's your best cost-saving tip?
Just when we thought the cost of living couldn't climb any higher...it does. While things like fuel prices are out of our control, many of us are looking for small, practical ways to stretch our dollars a bit further. So let’s put our heads together!
Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing tips to help you save money — and we’d love to hear yours too. What’s working for you right now?
Here are a few ideas to get started:
🎉 Plan ahead for the year (birthdays, events, travel) to avoid surprise costs
🪙 Check out $2 shops for everyday items like stationery, baking paper, foil, and cling wrap - often much cheaper than the supermarket
🐖 Bring back the piggy bank and save your loose change
🔨 DIY where you can - like mowing the lawn instead of paying someone
💵 Set a daily budget before heading out and stick to it (cash can help!)
🧴 Stretch household products by diluting things like shampoo or dishwashing liquid

What makes Wellington great?
Wellingtonians are staunchly loyal and though the city has had some bad press in the past few years, we remain proud.

So, imagine you have people coming from out of town to visit Wellington with the potential to move there. How would you show them the very best that Wellington has to offer? Brainstorm with us below!
