This is unfortunate and short-sighted on NZTA. I wouldn't be surprised if further delays are possible.
These elegant and versatile items are great ornaments and also good for displaying flowers, fruit or salads in the bowl.
Surplus to requirements so regretfully put them up for sale and new home. $30 for the lot
As the title says, I'm after a narrow external door. Left or right hinged doesn't matter, but 600 is all that will fit. Standard height of around 1950mm is fine.
Timber or aluminium is fine too and happy to collect from anywhere in Kapiti.
Hi all, I’m looking to give a VERY lonely goldfish to a new home ( or tank as the case may be). “Inky” is extremely lonely since his buddy passed a couple of years ago, and needs a friend. He’s not a small fella, so needs a decent size tank, but he’s a lovely guy and will be happy when he… View moreHi all, I’m looking to give a VERY lonely goldfish to a new home ( or tank as the case may be). “Inky” is extremely lonely since his buddy passed a couple of years ago, and needs a friend. He’s not a small fella, so needs a decent size tank, but he’s a lovely guy and will be happy when he has some friends (even one friend). Obviously free to a good home, so if you or someone you know is thinking about getting a fish or a few fish, give me a yell! Thanks 🤗
It's been heartwarming to hear stories from across the North Island of people taking others into their home and sharing a cup of tea together or fixing them a meal.
For the latest official updates:
Hi folks,
My colleague Jo is writing a story about buying by tender, specifically, the new trend of writing letters to the vendor to explain why they should pick your offer over all the rest.

My colleague Jo is writing a story about buying by tender, specifically, the new trend of writing letters to the vendor to explain why they should pick your offer over all the rest.
As the market gets harder and harder to break into, we've been hearing more and more about people trying to make a personal connection with vendors to give their tender offers the edge. We've heard folks will include personal details about their family, why the love the house and what their plans for the property are.
Jo would love to talk to anyone who's written a letter like this to accompany a tender - perhaps it's you, perhaps a relative or friend - or from vendors who've received letters like this, accompanying a tender.
Perhaps you asked for such letters?
We'd love to hear more about that experience for you and how it shaped the way the sale went.
You can reach out to jo here (she'll be joining the Neighbourly neighbourhood soon!) or via our email: homed@stuff.co.nz.
Looking forward to hearing your stories.

People near coast from BAY OF ISLANDS to WHANGAREI including GREAT BARRIER ISLAND and from MATATA to TOLAGA BAY must MOVE IMMEDIATELY to nearest high ground, out of all tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible. Evacuate these areas even if you did not feel the earthquake. DO NOT WAIT. A damaging tsunami is possible.
People in all other areas who felt a LONG or STRONG earthquake should MOVE IMMEDIATELY to the nearest high ground, out of tsunami evacuation zones, or as far inland as possible.
This evacuation advice overrides the current COVID-19 Alert Level requirements. Do not stay at home. MOVE IMMEDIATELY. Stay 2 metres away from others if you can and if it is safe to do so.
People evacuating should walk, run or cycle if possible to reduce chance of getting stuck in traffic. Do not return until all-clear is given by Civil Defence.
