The Best Furniture Shop owner Kim Booth grew up in a family of furniture retailers and decided to turn a traditional sales strategy on its head with the launch of the New Brighton store nine years ago. Instead of a plush showroom taking up high-demand real estate space, The Best Furniture Shop has a huge, simple fit-out in a low-rent part of town.
Savings from low-overheads would go straight to customers, with rock-bottom prices every day. Check it out on our website, or instore at 61 Hawke Street, New Brighton.
I'm looking to buy my first home. Would love to live in Phillipstown or surrounding. I need low maintenance, warm, prefer stand alone. I don't have a huge mortgage.
Thanks.

It comes after news that the number of people in New Zealand able to speak te reo Māori is declining. What do you think? Should it be made compulsory? Do you think this will help retain the language?

People with concerns about the downstream effects of the Christchurch Northern Corridor will have the chance to express their views in a public meeting next month.
Those who submitted through the consultation process have been invited to speak at the meeting on August 6, in front of the Papanui-Innes Community Board and a traffic expert at the city council chambers. Any potentially affected owners and occupiers of streets identified in the report will have the opportunity to engage with council.
A short feedback summary of the 408 submissions received was posted online last week which revealed several common themes from concerned residents.
These include safety of pedestrians, impact on businesses, loss of parking and environmental impacts, including air pollution, noise and vibration levels.
Overall, submitters expressed concern about a general sense of loss of community the increased traffic and road changes may bring.

Hi neighbours,
Did you know long-life milk cartons can't be recycled in New Zealand? There is no company which recycles them within the country, so the majority of them end up in the landfill. Although Auckland and Christchurch accept the cartons for recycling, they are sent offshore.

The healing benefits of turmeric are many and include:
Anti-inflammatory - Turmeric has long been known to reduce inflammation in our bodies. It is particularly useful in cases of arthritis.
Antioxidant - It's a great antioxidant and helps fight cellular oxidisation and the development of free radicals.
How does it work?
Turmeric contains the chemical called curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals found in turmeric might help to decrease the swelling or inflammation. Because of this, turmeric might be beneficial for treating conditions that involve inflammation.

Would anyone like this bag of Bell loose leaf tea, about 170g. I bought it to reduce our packaging waste but I'm not a fan of the flavour. Free to anyone that would use it, shame for it to go to waste.
