I just opened up Stuff and thought I had wandered in to some 1970's or 80's idea of a news home page. Obviously I really am not a fan. BTW if you click on any links the pages you go to are still in the previous format.

Upcycling is the term used for taking a preloved item and transforming it - whether it's for a new purpose altogether, or just to give it an ‘extreme makeover'. Consider using the school holidays to get Upcycling with the smaller members of your household - or use the next rainy day to drag out the paint and your creativity!
In the meantime, check out some of the creative cookies from last year.
Rain or shine, our frontline crews are out there working. It’s all part of providing an essential service.
Here we have Water Serviceperson Whare in Ngaio at work on a leaking main. It’s hard to make him out under all that gear but to be fair, it was pretty wet and cold.

Here we have Water Serviceperson Whare in Ngaio at work on a leaking main. It’s hard to make him out under all that gear but to be fair, it was pretty wet and cold.
So to all our crews working on the frontline this winter, every day, in all kinds of weather, thanks for your hard work to keep our three waters flowing, our drinking water, stormwater and wastewater (including hot showers!). Your work is appreciated.

Before lockdown, I started putting together a donation of old Playstation games for the Wellington Regional Hospital Children's Wards. Now that we're moving around again, I can go and collect the games from those who had a couple to donate. Just leave a comment or send me a message. And sorry if I missed it pre-lockdown.
Basically, the hospital has a couple of well-used old Playstation 2s that are crying out for a few more games.
There is specifically a real need for new or pre-loved G and PG rated PS2 games and PS4 games. They have a couple of PS4s on trolleys and one in the teen room, but the controllers have wandered.
Alternatively, there is also a real need for portable DVD players and older (PG) movies if that’s something you’d be interested in donating.
I can pick up the games from your letterbox in Upper Hutt or whatever is easiest. I work near Hutt Hospital so I could meet you out front if you would rather drop them off in Lower Hutt - whatever suits just send me a message.
Kind regards
Jared

Based at CABK Coastlands Offices, this long awaited service will provide the Kapiti community up to date information and advocacy on the benefits and grants paid by Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ), says HV BEST Manager Teresa Homan.
CABK will initially operate monthly clinics on the first Monday of each month, but anticipates this will quickly increase to fortnightly as awareness of the service grows. Kapiti BEST advocates are community based, professional, competent trained volunteers operating within the organisation’s Code of Ethics. They will provide advocacy with WINZ if needed. All information is treated in the strictest confidence and our clients are treated with dignity and respect and empowered to make their own decisions.
Kapiti’s diverse demographic, with its high percentage of elderly, low/fixed incomes, chronic health conditions/high health service users and young families comprises a large number reliant on government support. This number is expected to grow as the economic impacts of COVID 19 are felt throughout the community. Many find navigating the WINZ process challenging and accessing the supportive, empathetic knowledgeable guidance provided by our advocates can help ease what is often an already stressful time.
Kapiti BEST is grateful for the collaboration and support of the CABK Board and acknowledges and thanks Sandra Forsyth for her efforts in establishing the Kapiti service.
For further information or to make an appointment please call CABK Offices on 04 298 4944 or visit the CABK bureau on the first floor in Coastlands Shoppingtown.

Now that we are in Level 1, I am back up and running with my house and pet sitting!
I am a very reliable/ tidy person and have a lot of house and pet sitting experience. My Calendar is mainly clear (for now) but I am beginning to get some bookings, so if you’re planning on escaping for a wee weekend away in NZ or for a longer length of time, feel free to message me on here or on my mobile (0226524010) and I’ll see what I can do!
Thanks all! 😊
