This week's Nice Neighbours are Matt, Amelie and Jireh Rudich of Papakura. They were nominated by Yolanda Schuller.

On Yolanda's birthday, her husband had a major heart attack. They had an entire day planned, but then life threw a spanner into the works.

Yolanda asked Amelie to feed her cat, Koda, but Amelie's family went over and above. They cooked dinners two nights in a row and sent yummy treats during the tough time.

“I was really touched by their love, prayers and generosity. They are amazing. I couldn’t wish for better neighbours,” said Yolanda.

Nominate a Nice Neighbour you know, and they could be recognized on Stuff (and you both win a prize!).

Redecorating Your Master Bedroom on a Budget

Who says you need a hefty bank account to transform your master bedroom into a serene sanctuary? Not us! 🏡💫

Let's ditch that college dorm vibe and create a space that feels like a peaceful escape from the chaos outside. The best part? You can do it without spending ages on it - just a few weekends!

First things first - picture your dream bedroom. Is it a peaceful retreat for some 'me-time' or a cosy spot where you and your little ones snuggle up for stories and giggles?

Choosing the perfect paint colour sets the vibe for everything else!

Remember, vibrant but not blinding colours work wonders - it's all about that colour intensity.🎨

Now, let's talk colour schemes! Once you've picked that main colour, build a scheme around it. Consider complementary combos (think bold orange with a soothing blue) or stick to shades within the same colour for a monochromatic look.

Time to jazz it up! Curtains, bedding, a couple of rugs - these elements can totally transform the feel of your room. Plus, they add that much-needed texture and charm.

And don't forget the small table and chairs! Perfect for a cosy corner to sip your morning cuppa. And when it comes to art, think beyond paintings and photos. How about some cool three-dimensional pieces to add that extra flair?

We have a full optical lab facility and hundreds of glasses between $29 and $69.
You’ll save hundreds of dollars on new glasses WE PROMISE!

All single vision glasses we can do in just an hour – no more waiting!

And if you have a favourite pair but need new lenses, yes we do heaps of reglazing, it’s just $50.

Progressives from $90, sunglass tinting $50… we can do almost anything!

You do need to bring a copy of your prescription, however, if you don’t have this, if you have a pair of glasses already we can usually use our equipment to read the prescription from the lenses.

We also do a huge range of contact lenses! If you already wear them, bring in your box or lens blisters and we’ll compare them. Our lenses are typically around half price compared to most other retailers.

How do we have such low prices? We do all the lens fitting ourselves and we buy almost everything we sell directly from the manufacturers so we’re cutting out a LOT of cost that usually goes into a pair of glasses.

We’re at 2052 State Highway 10, Waipapa or call 0800 119 830
