I am looking for a lovely flatmate to come and join me in a lovely 3 bedroom very sunny house in Northland/Wilton.
I am a mature early childhood teacher in Thorndon and have one 3 year old cat that lives with me. Would you like to join us too?
The weekly rent is $320 which includes internet. Power and cleaning products will be split between us as required.
The house has a garden, carport, is fenced and looks out over Otari bush.
The Number 22, 23, 13 buses leave right outside the neighbours house and run through the city and past Vic University.
Ideally there would only be myself and one other living here as it would be great to be able to keep one of the rooms spare for guests or an office if needed.

Here is the trademe post. trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=3570043565

All questions welcome

Ezetil (German made) E26 Electric chilly bin.
This compact 21 l electric cooler neatly fits behind the driver or passenger seat of cars, making it the ideal companion for road trips and days out. Lightweight and with high quality insulation, it continues to keep contents cool for a while after disconnection from the 12 V cigarette lighter socket. The detachable lid is locked in place by the handle when it's closed, so contents won't spill out when you hit a bump in the road. When connected to the cigarette lighter socket, it cools snacks and drinks up to 15 °C below the ambient temperature. Thanks to its high quality insulation, contents stay nicely cool and fresh on the beach or picnic area, even after the Mirabelle MM24 DC has been disconnected from power.

Price of milk in supermarkets (Khandallah New World, possibly elsewhere)

Charlotte from Khandallah

Beware people - supermarkets may be overcharging you for the products you buy. An example - for a 2 litre bottle of Value brand light blue milk - New World Khandallah has the shelf price displayed at $3.74 and has had this price on shelf for many weeks. However the price charged at the till has … View moreBeware people - supermarkets may be overcharging you for the products you buy. An example - for a 2 litre bottle of Value brand light blue milk - New World Khandallah has the shelf price displayed at $3.74 and has had this price on shelf for many weeks. However the price charged at the till has increased a few times upwards to now being at $3.96. My understanding is that this is illegal - the price charged must match the price displayed. My husband has mentioned this several times to the checkout operators with a complete lack of interest. I guess gentleman that he is he doesn't want to make a big fuss in public or get held up in making a formal complaint that costs time.
