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.

Diwali is commemorated to honour Rama-chandra, the seventh avatar (incarnation of the god Vishnu).
It is believed that on this day Rama returned to his people after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana.
Usually lasting five days, Diwali symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.
Are you planning to celebrate Diwali?

From November 11, it will be illegal to sell vapes to under 18’s and advertising and sponsorship of vaping products will be banned altogether. Vaping will also be banned in legislated smoke-free areas such as:
- indoor workplaces
- cafes and pubs
- schools and early childhood centres
- public transport.
We think that everyone, especially parents need to be aware that vapes are now R18 and can’t be used in schools.

so
I dived on in
However my feet could
not
Touch the bottom
In over my head I
reached
For the surface
Only to discover floating discarded
shards
Of needles and bottles
I struggled alone with you for
help
shoveling up the pieces
piling high in the corner
like
a pile of discarded clothes
Once worn through were signs of a
struggle
that fought to get free of you
The choir of friends that sang of your
downfall
were too loud to hear your battle
There is no more color to add to the
pallor
Which has none to share
What were friends are no
longer
On a path of shared despair
Take the cup and fill it to
half
the pool that appeared shallow is now
full
in knowing that we are through

Wasabi had settled well but the fight has upset her and we haven’t seen her since, she may be hiding in a garage or shed so please keep a look out for her (she will have been sheltering from the terrible weather!)
I have been out looking and calling for Wasabi but I’ve had no luck. Wasabi is a small tabby & white female cat, she is 11 years old but looks like a younger cat.
If anyone sees her or notices a cat they haven’t seen before lurking around please call me on 021736888.
