Thank you for using Neighbourly
It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?

MUST PICK UP FROM TE ARO- 99kg VERY HEAVY!!!
We have very easy drive on access, it has to be lifted off the carpet out of the house and down 3 steps. You will maybe need 3 strong adults. Once you’re out it has wheels.
I have the combination to give too.

Freed from food and exercise

I've had an eating problem as long as I can remember. I would steal food, and money to get food. I was ashamed and had no idea why I did it. As a teenager, I didn't want to be overweight, so I tried to eat healthily at first and then tried to eat as little as possible. I also exercised to control my weight. All these things stopped working by the time I was twenty-one years old.
The constant thinking about food and losing weight made me ring for help from a Twelve Step recovery group. I found people that I knew had a solution for me. I tackled the programme – meetings, a food plan, the Steps, a sponsor and service – through hard work and trying to do it perfectly.

Does anyone know where I can buy door handles that look like this, or thereabouts? They don't have to be white, silver or black would work too. They're around 325mm long. I've searched high and low with no luck, potentially I'm not using the correct terminology.

A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?
Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine and his partner, Rudi. Charles is hoping to pick up “ a few tricks of the trade” for his new novel. But after too many martinis and a schemozzle of a seance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.
Written in just seven days, Blithe Spirit remains one of Noël Coward’s funniest and enduring comedies. Stylish, sharp and just a wee bit spooky, Blithe Spirit is a delicious cocktail of magic and mayhem.
After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, veteran Wellington director Colin McColl teams up with comedy legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshingly new take on Coward’s classic comedy.
