The downside of having your home featured on TV

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

You'd think seeing your home in a starring role on TV shows like Grand Designs NZ would help when the time comes to sell, right? Not necessarily.

In the past year, four Grand Designs NZ homes have come onto the market, but not all of them have sold. Now one owner has spoken out about how … View more

In the past year, four Grand Designs NZ homes have come onto the market, but not all of them have sold. Now one owner has spoken out about how being on the show could work against the sellers.

Christmas Lights

Cathy from Bromley

I just want to say a huge thank you to everybody who decorates their houses with lights. We have just been out driving around looking at some of the gorgeous displays. No matter what age you are the delight is still there. Seeing the younger kids out and their faces absolutely beaming is priceless.

Hi everyone.


We are having a collection for Cat Rescue at St Martins New World tomorrow from 8am to 6pm.  We currently have over 80+ kittens in our care (I say plus as I just heard another 7 came in today so it can go to 90+ very quickly) so are in desperate need of money donations, kitten food and kitten litter (small bags of kitten litter are around the $5 mark).


Please share in the Xmas spirit even if it is coins as they truly add up.  Hope to see you all tomorrow.  Not sure where we will be placed but come search for us or ask at the Lotto Counter (last xmas we where placed at the door directly facing the Lotto Counter and not our usual 2 spots)


May everyone have an awesome and safe Xmas break, and spread that extra love and kindness to children, the elderly and to animals (who do not have a voice).


Pss this is a photo of one of my previous fosters called Nina who was a unsocial stray who Cat Rescue worked with and now she is a amazing social loving pet and lives with her mother/family in Oamaru.
