Hi, my neighbours My fixed term energy plan with Contact Energy is ending soon. I'm not sure I should stay with them or not. I don't know if any other power company is better or not. If anyone has any ideas, will you share with me?

Hi all, I thought this might interest a dog owner out there, who has to leave their dog at home during the day. I am looking to do the Unitec 1 year course for Canine Behavior and Training next year, with the aim of going into dog training in the future, which is a passion of mine. I don't currently own a dog, and need one to complete the course. It involves bringing a dog twice a week during the day, where I will be learning and applying training techniques. The campus is in Mt Albert. Would anyone be interested in me taking their dog to my course twice a week next year. It would basically be free training and daytime entertainment for your dog, so should be mutually beneficial! The dog must be between 1.5 - 7 years old and ideally live near Mt Albert or Pt Chev (so I could collect and return on the 2 days). Dog must also be vaccinated, and spayed/neutered is ideal. Please comment or flick me a message if interested. Thanks very much, Eliza.

Hi neighbours, does anyone have some spare swan plant leaves please? We have 2 would be butterflies that have turned our plants into sticks and its the first time my daughter has seen this process. There is one chubby one and one medium one to feed.
