Last Wednesday at Pak n Save, Upper Hutt, I was confronted by a special bay (where many of the specials congregate) of eggs in cartons with the sign boldly stating: free range dozen eggs for $3.79.

Wow. I only buy free- range. Looked closely at the details on the cartons of eggs and they all stated "Caged Eggs"
Rip off, false advertising, Must be a law/regulation or two broken here.
Anyway came away with a carton of 10 genuine range free eggs for $7.50. But not before I had torn the erroneous sign up.

Currently UH has around 350 such houses as compared to Lower Hutt's around 3350.. And Lower Hutt is where the Government to going to make a concerted housing effort.
But does UP need any more? I say no. UH has enough comparatively cheap housing already.
What UH is getting is a new large housing estate nearby the Trentham Racecourse. And I would like to see apartment-type accommodation inside UH's CBD and greater CBD areas.
It might be time to batten down the hatches with that cold wind bearing down! What's the weather like out your way? Do you think we'll get any snow? Share any photos or stories you have here with your neighbours!

To warm you up a little we are going to share our "Seven Top Tips To Get A Property Ready For Sale". We will share a new tip every couple of days. Enjoy tip number 1!
Planning to sell a property? Follow these seven simple tips to ensure your property will provide you with the best possible return on the time and money invested.
Having made the decision to sell a property, an investor should be aiming to maximise their returns.
To this end, they need to make sure their property presents as well as possible to potential buyers. But that does not have to mean spending vast amounts of time and money.
There are some straightforward, cost-effective ways to go about doing this. Here is our first tip for getting a property sale ready:
1. First impressions matter
First impressions count for a lot with potential buyers and those impressions are formed quickly. Therefore, vendors need to make sure the exterior of their property presents well.
Lawns should be mowed, hedges should be trimmed, paving or concrete should be cleaned, fences should be well-maintained and paintwork should be clean and fresh. The property needs to be spick and span and any renovations must be complete. This includes minor repairs as well as major ones.

So I just went through the comparison test between what Nova is offering and my current provider, Meridian. And to my surprise despite all the hype that Stuff had created, Meridian is $40 cheaper on my last bill from them.
I am no great fan of Meridian otherwise and I actually have shares in Mighty Power but Meridian seem still to give residents in the Wellington region the best deal among electricity providers. This does not include gas.

The council will probably do so unless we object.
TMP is virtually a bird sanctuary with its twin areas of native forests and any fireworks especially in the nesting season, is greatly damaging towards birds. Of course the commotion of the fireworks is simply terrifying to birds. So TMP is not the place for this kind of event.
So let's make the UHCC well aware of this as if they are not already but choose to turn a blind eye - or deaf ear.
We invited a member of the Neighbourly team to give an electric car a go for a couple of weeks. Find out what Sarah learnt about city living with an 'EV' and what our plans are for our staff fleet over the next few months!
