Top Tip Number 3!
Refit the Kitchen! Prospective buyers know they’re going to spend a lot of time in the kitchen of any house that they buy. A tidy, modern looking kitchen can seriously improve the value of a home; when it comes to updating there are two options: replace or recover. The state of your current kitchen, budget and end goal will determine which is the right option for you. Whether your looking to replace or recover, your key targets are benches, cabinets, drawer fronts, skirting; handles, whether door, drawer or cabinet are noticed more than most people realise and new or cleaned handles can make a big difference at little cost. One addition to your kitchen that can really bring a modern feel is splashback glass, it has a very clean look and comes in a wide range of colours to suit any colour scheme.

Are you ready? Out on the streets you may see members of the Community Patrols, Safecity Ambassadors and Maori Wardens. Police urge people to be welcoming and ask drivers to take extra care on the roads, with the added numbers of campervans around. Watch your speed, be courteous and stay safe!
Being in hospital is a tough time for any kid but a new initiative aims to brighten up children's stays at Hutt Hospital with brand new pyjamas.
The inaugural PJs for Hutt Kids drive, run by Hutt Valley DHB and the Warehouse, was launched on June 21. Do you have a spare pair to donate?

Then we had the guy who said that the previously cheating American team would race with two boats on what turned out the last day of racing in Bermuda and thereby shut or shunt out the NZ entry.
There was another guy who said if we win the thing the defence of it would be held in Dubai because Emirates was the major sponsor.
NZ will host the next America's Cup here in three-four years time and presuming it will be staged in Auckland won't be because of infrastructure from previous Cup regattas is there as the base that was used is no longer available.
Australian Jimmy Spithill was party to cheating in San Francisco in 2013 but otherwise appears to be a dashing and poignant winner and magnanimous loser.
But if he wants to be part of the next America's Cup it may not be in representing the USA. I am sure that rule changes will mean that almost all the crews-etc must be nationals on the boats they sail on or are in the 'background" as team members. This will be to NZ's advantage and should have been put in place years ago by NZ when we had the chance to make the rules and we would not have lost so many topliners to other syndicates.
One of the more amusing comments I heard this morning was a guy who said NZ should host our defence of the Cup on Lake Taupo and insist that all competitors must first sail their boats from their respective countries to the Lake. Some trip that would be. However it is likely that most if not all the competing boats will be built in NZ.
Good place to go for coffee and a meal. Friendly folk. Hot coffee and yummy

The future of Upper Hutt's ratepayer-funded recycling service in Upper Hutt is under scrutiny.
Setup and operational costs have been higher than expected while tonnage figures for the city overall indicate the number of people recycling has not increased, a city council report says.
What do you think? Have you used the service often? Is it worth the money put in? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print).

Had a one-off dream several years ago when the Lions were touring Australia. I dreamt that the final score of the Lions V Force would be (from memory) 69-17 in favour of the touring Lions (or whatever the score actually was). So I won some money through the TAB.

So last evening whilst looking at a sports channel on tv I closed my eyes and thought of the ABs-Lions first test and the score of 14-33 lit up.
Is that going to be tonight's result? It wasn't a dream - just something that became visual in my mind with my eyes closed.
I can't say who was the winner. I hope like hell it's the ABs. But here is the thing - the first score was 14 and being a home game for the ABs, their score comes up first (from left to right)?????????

One of the threads is coming off on one side and it looks a bit knackerd but as a single matress it's still usable. Not a great condition.
