Amanda from Kilbirnie

We have not seen our Cat Ellie in over 48 hours. Missing since before the wild weather the other night. Very out of character for her so we are worried. Small black cat with white feet and tummy. She is pretty timid and has gone missing from Yule Street (51). We’re thinking she may have taken … View moreWe have not seen our Cat Ellie in over 48 hours.

For people in the southern suburbs, don’t forget to use your wheelie bin clip, or avoid putting your recycling out if you can to prevent items being blown about.
And don’t forget, if you’ve got a backyard trampoline or anything else that could take flight, tie it down!
PS. wrap up warmly – it’s going to be good weather for polar bears!

The Resene Upcycling Awards are coming back this month, the third year in a row! Watch this space and get prepared for the announcement; there are great prizes up for grabs.
