Thank you for using Neighbourly
A fresh start, magic, love and kindness were among the wishes Christchurch revellers harboured for 2019 as they came together to celebrate New Year's Eve.
How did you ring in 2019?

As you drive around our beautiful country this summer, you'll see honesty stalls, selling everything from fruit and vegetables to pine cones, dotted along our highways.
Honesty stalls in rural NZ may be the "Kiwi way", but thieves are making it difficult to survive.
One grower-family was targeted with a spate of $100 per day thefts.
But out-of-pocket growers have pledged to continue; keeping the "Kiwi tradition" alive, in spite of thieves.

Do you make the most of honesty stalls when you're driving throughout New Zealand?

Organised events for those in the Garden City looking to ring in the new year are mostly confined to pubs, bars and restaurants.
But there is the annual family-friendly celebrations in North Hagley Park. The night will kick off with family entertainment from 6pm, including a performance from comedian Mullet Man, free activities, fairies, and a kids countdown at 8pm. Headline act The Jordan Luck Band will take the stage before a midnight fireworks display.
What have you got planned this New Year's Eve?

Once you know which type of wasp to target, the next step is to use the correct control method.
- For paper wasps, there are commercially available sprays at hardware stores around the country. The important things to note are not to get too close (these sprays can go up to four metres), and to do it at dusk once the wasps have returned to their nests. If you are unsure where the nests are, you can usually follow the wasp to it, as they don't travel too far away.
- Vespex is a protein-based bait which is suitable for use on the vespula wasp species. This is usually done at landscape scale as a small tub of bait can cover a large area. You don't need to find the nests as the wasps carry the bait home with them. Vespex is not at all attractive to bees. If there is a problem in your area you can learn all about the use of vespex here. You will need to be an approved user - a short 10-minute video course is all that is required. Vespex is not suitable for paper wasps as they prefer live bait. You can also contribute to our fight against wasps here: givealittle.co.nz...

We want to know what a day at the beach with the classics costs us.
So roll up, roll up ... there's nothing like licking a scoop of ice cream during the summer. How much do you pay at home, and when you are away? What is the most expensive ice cream you've bought on holiday?

The Kiwi day at the beach. It's what our summer memories are made of. It's an easy and fun way to spend a day in the sun - but is it still cheap?

I am currently working only in the evenings, so have a lot of free time during the day or on the weekends if anyone is looking for a babysitter, especially during the school holidays.
About me:
I am 30 years old, run my own business teaching dance, and am local to St Albans. I have my full license, and car that is rego'd and warranted. I have no kids of my own, but have 4 nieces and nephews that I look after regularly, and have been babysitting since I was a teen.
I do not hold a current first aid certificate, but have done the course many times as I was a support worker/ caregiver for both elderly and people with mental health disabilities. There isn't much I can't handle!
Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!
Liv :)
Poor little guy is in shock this morning after flying into our window In Phillipstown, if anyone knows his owners please let me know.
