Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

⚠ PLANNED WATER OUTAGE – TUESDAY 5 MAY WANUIOMATA⚠

The Team from Wellington Water

We are connecting a new service into the water supply network in the area. This means we have to turn off the supply between 10am and 2pm, affecting water supply to Wise Street, Craigie Way and Jack Vaughan Grove in Wainuiomata.

We are connecting a new service into the water supply network in the area. This means we have to turn off the supply between 10am and 2pm, affecting water supply to Wise Street, Craigie Way and Jack Vaughan Grove in Wainuiomata.

We recommend affected properties fill up containers with water before 10am and avoid running your dishwasher and washing machine during this time. When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap slowly then let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system. Air can cause the water to turn a milky colour, but this won’t affect the taste, and should clear quickly.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this outage and will update you if any of the above should change.

Old F & P Washing machine

Tim from Petone

Hi,
Does anyone know of anyone that collects old washing machines? My Smartdrive 5.5 litre, MW512 died (I'm sure its the electronic board) it was working fine then not... usual story. It's probably uneconomic to replace the electronic part, and how I do that at the mo, is any one's … View more
Hi,
Does anyone know of anyone that collects old washing machines? My Smartdrive 5.5 litre, MW512 died (I'm sure its the electronic board) it was working fine then not... usual story. It's probably uneconomic to replace the electronic part, and how I do that at the mo, is any one's guess. So I really have to get a new one as the washing needs to be done.



I know there are people out there who fix up things and / or collect parts.


It seems a waste to totally junk it.


Message me if anyone they know is interested.
