Hi Wellington,

What do you think about your nurses rejecting the latest pay offer from District Health Boards? It's now been confirmed that 24 hours of strike action will begin at 7am Thursday.

A "majority" of the New Zealand Nurses' Organisation's (NZNO) more-than-30,000 members have chosen to take industrial action - a move described as "unprecedented".

What do you think about Thursday's strike? Were you surprised they rejected the last offer? Or do you think they deserve more? Let us know in the replies!

Wastewater overflows - Hutt River

The Team from Wellington Water

For the next 48 hours, due to wastewater overflows, we advise no recreational water activities such as Swimming, Kayaking or Canoeing in two locations along the Hutt River (south of Melling bridge and Silverstream).

On Thursday 5 July a small wastewater leak occurred near Melling Train Station, which led to an overflow of wastewater into the stormwater network, resulting in wastewater entering into the Hutt River.

Because of heavy rain over the weekend we were unable to repair the leak immediately. In order to carry out the repair, the wastewater had to be diverted to the Silverstream wastewater storage tank.

This tank was already full due to the heavy rain over the weekend, resulting in wastewater overflowing from the storage tank for a short period of time this morning into the Hutt River at Silverstream.

Repairs have been carried out at Melling today, and there have been no further overflows into the Hutt River at this location. Wastewater is no longer being to diverted to Silverstream, and the wastewater overflow has stopped.

If you have been in contact with the Hutt River, at either location, during the time of the wastewater overflows, please contact your doctor or call Healthline on 0800 611 116 if you become unwell.

15 Low Cost Ways You Can Get Your Home Ready To Sell

Garry Tranter from Price My House for Free Limited

1. Get An Idea Of How Much Your Home Is Worth
Ask a real estate agent to assess your property and give you a rough estimate of its value. They’ll also tell you what other homes in the area are selling for. Ask the agent to give you an idea of how much the property would be worth if you spent a … View more
1. Get An Idea Of How Much Your Home Is Worth
Ask a real estate agent to assess your property and give you a rough estimate of its value. They’ll also tell you what other homes in the area are selling for. Ask the agent to give you an idea of how much the property would be worth if you spent a certain amount on doing it up.

2. Kitchen Details
A new bench and new handles might be all your kitchen needs for an update – rather than replacing the whole kitchen.

3. Bathroom Fittings
Bathroom fittings can be expensive to replace, so focus on removing any signs of mould. Clean and paint any dirty areas.

4. Target Market
Have your target market in mind when you’re making your decorating decisions. A real estate agent will help you work out who this market is. Don’t make any decisions that you think your target market won’t like.

5. Remove Photos
Remove any photos, it’ll be hard for viewers to imagine living there when your momentos line the walls.

6. Dust
Clean and dust the skirting boards, the top of picture frames and clean the windows.

7. Rugs
Lay rugs where your carpet might be dirty or stained. If need be, get your carpets professionally cleaned.

8. Chipped Paint
Remove any signs of old, worn-out paint. Touch up any cracks or chips on your walls or skirting boards.

9. Foliage
Bring the outside in by filling the home with colourful flowers or lush green plants.

10. New Towels
Make a spa haven by replacing your old bath towels and mats with new ones that match.

11. Unusual Smells?
Are there any strange smells throughout the home? Ensure there isn’t at your open home by giving your home a deep clean. Wash cupboards, fridge and oven in the kitchen and pay particular attention to the bin area. Scrub the walls in the bathroom and use white vinegar to clean out the toilet tank. Open all windows and doors to air out the house and place aromatherapy diffusers and scented candles in problem areas.

12. Declutter!
Throw out anything that is lying around unwanted. You’ll need to be ready to show the home to people at any given moment, so it has to be constantly ready. You won’t have time to clean up at the last minute.
Remove any clutter that lines the top of cupboards or under beds. It’ll make your rooms appear more spacious. Enable the purpose of each room to be clear for the viewer. Avoid filling a room with junk and unused items that could otherwise appear useful as a beautiful bedroom.

13. Go Neutral
Ensure there are no dramatic decor elements that only a few people will like. Keep your décor simple.

14. Lighting
Make sure there is plenty of artificial lighting glowing nicely, especially if your home is on view during winter. There is nothing more gloomy than viewing a home that is dark and unwelcoming.

15. Street Appeal
Kerb appeal. Stand out on the road and look at the front of the house – how does it look? Is there anything that could deter viewers? One of the first impressions any visitor to the property will get is of the front fence, letterbox and garden.
Paint your fence if it is looking dated. Repaint your front door if it needs it. Use a colour that makes a statement but isn’t overwhelming. A new door mat and plant by the door will freshen up this space.
