Necklace lost on Lambton Quay - please help find it!

Lola from Brooklyn

This might be a long shot but I thought I'd try it! I lost a necklace on Lambton Quay last Monday, 18 November, somewhere between Woodward Street and Les Mills gym. It's a small, round, white gold pendant on a fine chain.

Maybe you picked it up; maybe someone you know picked it up; maybe you heard someone talking about finding a necklace; maybe you work in the area and it was handed in by a passer-by... I would be really grateful for any information as it has huge sentimental value. If you think you know something please get in touch. Thank you :)

Looking to rent a nice home

Jake from Island Bay

I am a young professional and currently running two businesses (travel agency, and garden+home maintenance and renovations) with a third in the pipelines.

I'm tired of renting places which are simply not worth my effort to restore to a decent level, and especially with flatmates that usually have very little care for the house and the mess they leave around.

I'm hoping to be able to find a nice property in which i can call home. I would like head tenancy so i have the ability to replace a flatmate that turns out to be unsuitable.
I have two parrots (An African Grey and a Rainbow Lorikeet) and would like to get another pet or two at some stage. I have a plethora of references that can confirm i leave places in better condition than when i arrive, even with various pets.

I'm posting on here with the hope that there will be someone that wants to rent their property out, but is worried about the hassle that can often come about from troublesome or careless renters.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or advice.

Kind regards,
Jake Finch.

Here's an update of what's been happening with the pipelines work that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the network.

Work is progressing well in Hargreaves Street, as we pour the concrete floor and walls in the chamber, and finish off the pipe installation. We are on track to open up the bottom of Hargreaves Street by the end of the month in preparation for the Wallace Street road closure happening from December 8.

We’ve taken a few photos from around the current work site, as well as inside the chamber at Hargreaves Street so you can see what it looks like under the surface.

Buy one, give one for Kiwi families in need

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

Hi Neighbourly members, we all love a bargain, but buying a gift that really gives back seems like a much better way to kick off the holiday season, don’t you think?

We’re not sure who decided that Black Friday was suddenly a ‘thing’ down in our part of the world, so, as us Kiwis tend to do, we thought we’d put our own spin on it instead. One that is much more focused on community over consumerism, and equally about giving as it is about getting.

Curious?

Kicking off today and running through 'til Monday 2 December, we are doing our annual buy-one-give-one campaign.

That means for every Christmas Gift Box or Christmas Cracker set purchased, we’ll also give one to City Missions and food banks across the country to support families in need. Our aim is to give back to an organisation within the community that each of our customers live in.

The best part? There’s no car park congestion, over-crowded shopping malls or #walmartfights involved. You can shop online from the comfort of your own home, with the knowledge that you’re also doing good for fellow Kiwis in their own community.

You could say that our version of Black Friday is in fact a whole lot more colourful, adding brightness to what might otherwise be a fairly bleak Christmas for many families in New Zealand.

Together, we can make Christmas a bright and tasty time for families in need - and that sounds like a pretty good deal, don’t you think?!

Whether you’re buying for an avid foodie, a wannabe masterchef, a time-poor parent, or a student who needs help to step their signature spag bol up a notch, our Christmas Gift sets are guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, are all gluten-free, with no MSG, and all-natural!

You’ll find more information about Raptor Naturals, our Christmas Gift Boxes and our Christmas Crackers on our website - www.raptornaturals.co.nz

Thanks for your support
Rachael and the Raptor Naturals team

Chickens (Chic's Mixed Breed)

Babies are 5 weeks old at the moment, so should be ready to leave their Mum in about 3/4 weeks? I haven't sorted them from male / female as yet, will do shortly & advise the outcome (If I get it right :O ) (There is 7 Chicks in Total - I may keep 1), just thought I'd get ahead and let anyone know who may be interested. Looking at the colouring of the babies, think their going to be more like Dad?? still hard to tell, will be hard to tell how big they will grow being a cross breed. $25 per chick -They have been used to the outdoor environment. Will do a deal for two or more. will put more photos up later of the brood.

Price: $25

I have taught and played on this piano for 10 years and it is still in great condition, barring a few dents on the lid from when it was moved in. It will need to be moved by professional movers as it is very heavy.

Price: $700
