MAKE A WILL! Especially if you don't already have one.
REALLY URGENT - if you want to include step-children or whangai, or if you have repartnered or separated, or (males) if there could be other children you don't know about or don't want to know about, or if you don't have children and don't want your distant relatives to be the beneficiaries if you and your partner are both killed in the same tragic accident....

Answer the questions, download the Word document, print it, and sign it in front of two adults who are not beneficiaries in the will. (Confession time - we are selling it, but we didn't write it. We've tried it out and it's okay although there are bits we would tweak if we were writing it from scratch.)

Cantabrians are urged to start training for a 10-kilometre run-walk held in the Port Hills in February to remember those who lost their lives in the 2011 earthquake.

Entrants have just over two months to prepare for the annual Run to Remember event, where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities follow a course along the Port Hills from Victoria to Hansen Park.

Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan Falloon says the route offers an opportunity to remember and reflect on those affected by the earthquakes. "We've all been impacted in different ways. There is no other experience where you take time to look over the city and reflect."

A couple of years ago a friend of my wife lend her a Mountain Buggy 3 wheels stroller, green one, with shade cover. The thing is I always thought she gave her away and by the time we moved house (nearly year ago, September 2017) I went to Resource Recovery Park 25 Range Street, Ashburton and dumped there. Don’t know if was destroyed or not, may be it was put up for sale in the shop, hopefully. Is here when I must ask to any one please, that bought a green stroller Mountain Buggy from that place I will appreciate if you out there could sell it to me please. This stroller has a huge sentimental value for this lady and I just destroyed without any questions. I will appreciate any help or information to try to take it back with the owner. Thanks a lot everyone.
