If the answer is a 'no' or perhaps an initial 'yes' followed by an 'I've changed my mind', then who gets to keep the ring? And what are the consumer ins and outs of trying to get a refund on a diamond sparkler?
We're looking for individuals who are happy to share their story of a ring return: perhaps the break up was acrimonious and you've tried to cash in the ring yourself, or maybe your ex disappeared with the sparkler, never to be seen again. If you've got a story, please share it below (please add NFP if you don't want it used in print). And if you've got a really good story that'll take a little longer, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.

Mister Show Biz - RAY WOOLF meets NZ’s Iconic Jazz Artist - RODGER FOX
alongside Vivacious Jazz/Blues Singer - ERNA FERRY
Mulled Wine Concerts - Kapiti's vibrant concert organisation headed by pianist Mary Gow
will put on a special event to kick off their 2019 season. The Summer Special concert
featuring giants of the New Zealand music scene will happen at the historic St Peter's Hall
in Paekakariki on Saturday 26 January 2019. Mary Gow is upbeat - "We have had to move
for this concert only - it is a great venue and is even closer to the centre of the village" she
says.
The concert will feature an evening of great music, featuring Ray Woolf, Rodger Fox and
his ensemble with Erna Ferry.
Ray Woolf was born in Dagenham, Essex and the Woolf family came to New Zealand in
1962. Within a month, the singer came to the attention of Eldred Stebbing and shortly after
he toured NZ in support of UK singer Helen Shapiro. “It all happened very very fast,” says
Woolf. “Within a matter of months I was part of the NZ music scene.” His appeal crosses
generations with a musical CV that includes pop, rock, soul, cabaret and jazz, while his
television career ranges from drama and soap opera to fronting Play School and his own
talk show. Mums, dads and grandparents love him and even those with little interest in
music will remember him as the guy with Howard Morrison on the Bic television ads. In
1980 he began his association with musical theatre starring in Hans Christian Anderson,
The Music Man, The Sound Of Music (100 performances so far) New Rocky Horror Show,
West Side Story, A Slice Of Saturday Night, Blood Brothers, Golf the Musical and later this
year the King in The King and I. Recent TV credits include: The Strip, Shortland Street,
Orange Roughies, Interrogation, Nothing Trivial, St. Legal and Xena.
For 43 years Rodger Fox and his big band have set the benchmark for jazz in New
Zealand. Unlike many jazz musicians who’ve gone offshore, Rodger has stayed here to
offer his gift of performance, arranging, administration, conducting and teaching. The
Mulled Wine concert will see Rodger lead his select jazz ensemble, playing his dynamic
solos and leading the music. Erna Ferry is a vivacious, fun and sparkling jazz/blues singer
with a great stage personality. She has the ability to grab the audience and make them
hers. Whether she is singing a slow sultry ballad or belting out a swinging blues, you are in
no doubt that Erna is giving the song her utmost.

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?
Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.
For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?
What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

She says a similar scam happened in the 1990s, and legitimate groups almost ended up having to pay for the crime. Read more

Recently, tenants of a brand new development in Auckland’s Silverdale decided to organise a family BBQ day to get to know each other and their new neighbours down the lane.
“The best thing about this event is everyone coming together, and the kids having a great time. This is a great place to raise my kids.”
