Over the coming year, the average property price for Wellington would cross the $1 million mark, said Nicki Cruickshank, a real estate agent with Tommy’s Wellington. “You can't really get a three-bedroom house in Wellington under $1m now, anyway.”
Porirua City experienced a 20.8 per cent annual growth in residential property values, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt cities both experienced 17.2 per cent growth, and Kāpiti Coast 18.3 per cent.
I have an old kids bunk bed that I am wondering if anyone wants.
The bed base is about 1010mm x 2050mm.
There is only 1 mattress, old, but not stained.
The slats for one bed have been replaced by the homemade slats in the photo. One of the hooks for the ladder is lost and the new owner will have to… View moreI have an old kids bunk bed that I am wondering if anyone wants.
The bed base is about 1010mm x 2050mm.
There is only 1 mattress, old, but not stained.
The slats for one bed have been replaced by the homemade slats in the photo. One of the hooks for the ladder is lost and the new owner will have to come up with a substitute.
The hooks are shown in detail on one of the photos.
Usefully, the beds split into individual beds when needed.

Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”
Summer is a great time to enjoy our coast and waterways, but it pays to check first to see if the water is safe to swim in.
Thank-you to everybody who came forward with tips on yellow pōhutukawa. There are certainly more in the region than many people realise.

Hi all, I still have the HVHS PE uniform if anyone wants it. Girls, ladies 14-16 (although my size 10-12 girl wore it no problem). Pants have drawstring for easy fit. Good condition.
These seemed a bit too nice to chuck in the bin. Can anyone use them? Might be good for teabags/sugar/biscuits, seem quite airtight.
Homemade wooden rustic placecard holders. Used these for my daughter's wedding back in Jan before the 'Rona. There are about 70, but you could take as few or as many as you like.

Two have a very small hole (less than 3mm) - the hazard of working with chemicals while not wearing a lab coat, but barely noticeable. All good quality ex-Kirks or David Jones. Unfortunately, my hubby's girth has increased before he got a chance to wear the new pairs. Would need someone not too tall with quite a svelte figure - 5ft9 and slim waist. Might suit a young man for work. DM me if interested. Must pick up in Woburn.
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has a spare android phone sitting around doing nothing they could pass on cheap or free? Preferably android 6 or higher.
Please PM me or email me at haydenthemonkey@gmail.com.
Cheers, Hayden.
The case and disk are in great condition with only minor scratches that doesn't affect the usability of the disk at all. Was made for older versions of windows but runs fine on my windows 10 laptop, may need to run it through compatibility mode which is very easy to do.

My little 12 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.
The $1 coin is for size reference, these habaneros are much bigger than chillies I have seen at the local supermarket retailing for $1:30 each (picture included indicating size relative to a $1 coin) and are really hot so you only need to cut up a small portion into food. Habaneros store well in the freezer so any leftover can be frozen until needed for up to a few months.
$1 each or 6 for $5.
I also have some that I have frozen that we would still like to sell at a rate of 2 for $1.50.
Covid-19 safety precautions:
It is recommended that you rinse produce thoroughly with hot water.
