This has been used as a secondary fridge (for drinks mainly) - not constantly opened so very few marks on the glass tempered shelves. There are however two door shelves missing but I think it wouldnt be a problem to source replacements. We are shifting and inheriting ANOTHER fridge freezer so it's time to let it go. Pick up with easy access in Khandallah.

The Wellington City Council is in a flap over alleged controversy in the BIrd of the Year contest.
It is backing the hihi (stitchbird) but a a progress report on voting has the council talking to its lawyers.
In the event of a loss in the polls, it is understood #teamhihi supporters have been in touch with Wellington landscaping businesses over the availability of their carparks.
The council had controversially tweeted to "stop the count" but was now calling for "every legal vote to be counted".

Reno blogging saved one couple $35k... but it didn't come cheap

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.
If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.

Whether it's you or a partner, snoring isn't just an annoying noise. It impacts the health of the snorer, as well as the sleep quality of those around them.

Over the next few weeks Neighbourly will be running short Good Sorts, featuring people who make a difference in their community.
This week meet bus driver Vince Tamihere.

Vince Tamihere reckons he has the perfect job, driving buses for Tranzurban.
Based in Grenada Village, he covers Wellington City and Porirua.
"I love my job. I am proud and privileged to serve our communities and to get paid for it."
Driving kids to Pauatahanui School is a run he particularly enjoys.
Recently, he posted about helping a 13 year-old girl, who was waiting at a station at 11.30pm on a wet Friday night.
Vince asked if she was okay and was told she was waiting for her parents to pick her up.
Vince waited until her parents arrived and was delighted to receive two boxes of chocolates from her grateful mum.
Recently, he posted on how much he enjoys his work and made a plea to be tolerant towards drivers.
"If you get cut off by one of my work mates think of me! The awesome bus driver."
When he is not driving buses, Vince is fighting for his community in Naenae. He has been outspoken lobbying for the earthquake prone Naenae Pool to be rebuilt and for more facilities for youth.
