Ten offers and still no home

Reporter Community News

Wellingtonians Le Ho and her partner Zin Hoang can't find anywhere to call home.
Ho, 29 and a member of Massey University’s marketing team, and Hoang, 23, a scientist, have pre-approved for a mortgage in the $700,000 to $800,000 range.
So far they have put in ten offers without success.
One property they liked had 32 offers. Ho admits it is getting "disheartening" and they are losing hope.

FREE 10-liter emergency water bottles

Michael from Newtown

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
