With these chilly spring mornings and unpredictable weather, there’s nothing better than sinking into a cosy, supportive bed at the end of the day!

We’ve put together a quick, easy guide on how to care for your Tempur mattress — from cleaning tips to keeping it fresh and well-supported — so you can enjoy that “ahh” feeling every night.

Has 4 standard rings and a 5th larger one in the center that has a removable Wok holder. Oven has 2 trays. I think this stove is about 14 years old but in good condition and everything works. Was in this house when I moved in but is too big for me and I don't like gas. It has a gas connector and 3 pin plug with a large bottom pin as shown in the photos. I have spent hours cleaning it but it still has some gringe in hard to reach places. You must pick-up from Opuawhanga. Please make an offer!!

Our CBDs have been making headlines lately – they’re not quite the bustling hearts of our cities they once were, with more people flocking to malls instead. The big question is, what do you think should be the focus of a revitalised city centre?

1️⃣ Progress Results - around 3:00pm on Saturday
The very first indication of election results will be from the approximately 90% of ordinary votes that Electoral Services already have on hand to count. They won't include any Special Votes or the final collections from ballot boxes, so the rankings and outcomes may change as more votes are counted.
2️⃣ Preliminary Results – Sunday afternoon
By Sunday afternoon, all ordinary votes should be with Electoral Services and will have been counted. Preliminary results do not include any Special Votes, so they can also change when the final outcome is published.
3️⃣ Final Results
Once all special votes and ordinary votes are counted and checked, we will know the final results. This could be any time during the week following the voting deadline. Unlike the other two releases, final results cannot change - only the final results reflect which candidates have been elected to Council, and the outcome of the poll on Māori Wards. We’ll communicate these results as soon as they become available, but they are truly made final when a formal public notice is issued.
Each type of results will be published in this section of our website:
