Probably not, but how nice would it be if you were surprised by your partner with something you love, especially after a long day?

A positive and thoughtful surprise is a great way to connect. How good would you feel if you surprised your partner with one of their favorite things? How good would they feel?
Both of you would likely feel pretty great, so here are some ideas to try:
Cook your partner's favorite meal for them
Bring them breakfast in bed and enjoy the morning together
Write them a love letter by hand and mail it
Send them a random, loving text in the middle of the day
Throwback: make them a mixtape or CD of their favorite songs (a playlist works, too!)
These are just a few small things you could do any day of the week, and you don't even have to spend money. As the saying goes, the best things in life are free.
We've been looking back as we prepare to go forward with the new Events Centre and refurbished Town Hall opening on 14 July. Check out the photos - were you there?!

Not only does it go over things like basic budgeting, but also property purchase, debt management, investing, creating wealth and so much more. You only need to attend one 3 hour class a week, so it's totally achievable for most people :) Feel free to message me for more details 🙌

A total of 22 stations like this will be located throughout Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt Valley, providing 20 litres of water per person per day, from 'Day ' should a large earthquake cause damage to the region's water reticulation system.
There will be four stations in Lower Hutt (Korokoro, Lowry Bay, Days Bay and Wainuiomata) which will supply water to multiple distribution points throughout the city. You can read more about the stations here: wellingtonwater.co.nz...
The network is the result of a partnership between Wellington, Porirua and Hutt Valley councils and central government, with $6 million contributed by the councils and $6 million from the government.
Mr Bassett is chairman of the Wellington Water Committee and Mr Wallace is chairman of the Wellington Regional Emergency Management joint committee.
We will keep you posted when the first of Lower Hutt's four stations is opened and you will be able to check it out for yourself.
There's lots of events happening in the Hutt Valley this week.
In some emergencies you may be stranded in your vehicle for some time. A flood, snow storm or major traffic accident could make it impossible to proceed.
What emergency supplies do you have in your vehicle?
