Treat Mum to the Movies on Mother's Day at Miro Cinema. This Sunday, May 14th the movie 'Snatched" is screening at 11:15am & 3:05pm (R13)
Could be that Low Cost wheelie bins for weekly/fortnightly rubbish collection are not so low cost when comparing them with other rival companies.
Those with red bins should look at the alternatives.
I accept that "low cost" does not imply "lowest cost".
With movie theatre shut down in Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt's Monteray Movie multiplex should be booming and graced with more staff to cope with the extra demand and to present a better movie experience for patrons.
But this is not so.
1/ The food, cafe/restaurant aspect has not improved.

But this is not so.
1/ The food, cafe/restaurant aspect has not improved.
2/ There seems no more staff than has been from the onset, The theatre is understaffed.
3/ Each theatre within the complex is not as clean as it should be or made clean after each showing before allowing patrons to enter.
4/ The staff (or at least some of then) behind the ticket counter seem inefficient and confused.
But I am pleased that three people under 30 turned up for an afternoon session on a weekday a few days ago and were charged superannuate rates ( $7.50) instead of the theatre's normal rates. Monteray's normal charges are overpriced.

He is brave, dedicated and ready to throw off the shackles of boredom and to place his trust in the dice throws.
As you can tell, I have no idea how DnD works, but I am sure there is someone who is in search of a new apprentice.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

The engine starts easily and has good to excellent tyres with alloy wheels.
Interior is dry with no tears or rips, all trim appears to be present and everything works really well, fans, a/c, lights, wipers etc.
The stereo has been upgraded and it comes with a 6CD changer in the boot.
There is a second (Brand new) roof that can replace the current one though it hasn't leaked yet. There is also a second hand passenger door (only in white) that I bought to cover a minor dent, then I never really bothered to get it done as it always passed a warrant as is. Both of these are included in the price.
This car is the light of my life but due a spinal operation around 2013 I have not been able to drive it. I've held on, hoping to come right but have to finally admit that's it's not going to happen.
It's last warrant was October 2016 (passed easily) and since then my husband has started and driven it every week to keep it ticking over so it has only done approx 2000kms since then. Registration is on 3 monthly hold at present.
If anybody is interested please contact me and come up and see/drive it.
