This is a great little tub for growing veges - has modular support system, big water tank underneath, and wheeled to make it easy to move around. These currently sell at Mitre 10 for $99.

The photos make the supports look wobbly, but that’s only because I didn’t connect them together fully for the photos, in case I couldn’t pull them apart again! I never actually used the supports as my plants never got big enough for that :(

This is In great condition, sadly my deck isn’t suitable for veges as it gets hammered by northerlies so time to give this a new home :)

Price: $30

On a sweltering summer in 1892, a wealthy businessman and his wife were found murdered in their own home. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was the prime suspect.

Lizzie the Musical is the new punk-rock musical reimagining of the gripping true-crime case of Lizzie Borden, exploring the heady and heated events leading up to the infamous trial that became a media sensation.

Explored through through the lens of a contemporary rock opera, Lizzie the Musical is equal parts Victorian drama and modern pun-rock rebellion. Revenge, betrayal, sex, murder! What really happened in the house of Borden? Come to Circa Theatre this weekend and find out for yourself!

BEWARE: Scammers impersonating Police taking advantage of vulnerable, older people

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are aware of reports emerging overnight where people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Police officer.

The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.

People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.

Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.

We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.

Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.

There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.

Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the Netsafe website: netsafe.org.nz...

Retirement in New Zealand is evolving as people live longer, healthier lives, and the number of Kiwis who choose to continue working later in life is rising.

Here’s some helpful advice from Ryman residents in the workforce.
