Would you like to see the Sevens tournament in Christchurch? The World series visits Paris, London, Hong Kong and currently Wellington. But organisers say the windy capital is no longer the place to be and are looking elsewhere. Would you like to see it in our city?

Remember:

- Don't wait for an official warning, there may not be time in a local source tsunami.
- Remember long OR strong, get gone.

Half the tree came down a couple of days ago so my kids and I have gone and picked loads of bags, with many more still to pick. I have many here that I'd like to sell for $2.50 kg and this lovely lady will give the money to her church to be used in the community. Let me know if you're interested and I can pass on my address for pickup
Would you like to pay your mortgage off quicker?
Are you aware that over the lifetime of a standard mortgage you will very likely pay as much or more interest than the amount you actually borrow?

Are you aware that over the lifetime of a standard mortgage you will very likely pay as much or more interest than the amount you actually borrow? Or that by using standard bank tools, it is possible to halve the cost of the interest charged on your mortgage even for those on a modest income?
Money not spent on mortgage interest increases your cash flow and enables you to pay off your debt much sooner than you could have dreamt.
The Halswell Community Project has asked Linda Hart to come and talk to us about mortgages and the different ways in which they are, and can be structured.

Venue: Koaro Room at Te Hapua.
Cost: $3 to cover the cost of the room hire.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!
It was nice that you came in the dead of night and took one last week but to come back again last night and take the other meant you obviously liked them that much you needed a matching pair. We hope that they match your letter box as much as they did ours.You could have asked us where we got them … View moreIt was nice that you came in the dead of night and took one last week but to come back again last night and take the other meant you obviously liked them that much you needed a matching pair. We hope that they match your letter box as much as they did ours.You could have asked us where we got them from (Bunnings)and we could have told you that these are no longer available. Sorry they are bit marked and the one you took last night is broken but we think The Press delivery man liked using them as target practice. We did use to have 3 but one did not survive all the hits.We are not sure how much longer the battery will last as they have been there for over 12 months. Enjoy them like we have and we hope that they look just as good at your place as they did ours.
Come along on Wednesday 8 February (in the evening), make this desk calendar, and also a quick Valentine's card. Message me for details.
