Hi everyone if there is any chance there is someone that could come and have a look at our hot water cylinder and tell us why we have no hot water.
Been this close to Christmas we are totally out of options as sparkies are well booked into the new year.
We have kids coming home and as we don’t mind a cold shower kids are a bit precious and might melt in cold water.
But seriously can someone help my wife and I out.

All retailers, ie not just supermarkets, will no longer be able to sell or give away single-use plastic shopping bags after this date. To read more, click here.

Do you support the single-use plastic bag ban? How will the ban affect your life?

Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?

A battle has erupted between the city and regional councils over the future of Christchurch's drinking water.

The heated dispute was sparked by the decision on Wednesday of an Environment Canterbury (ECan)-appointed commissioner to approve Cloud Ocean Water's plans to extract water from a 186-metre deep bore at its Belfast bottling operation.

That decision, which locked members of the public and their opinions out of the consent process, enraged Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and city councillor Vicki Buck.

But ECan's chairman says the criticism is "ill-informed" and "off-the-wall".
