I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!

A second tunnel is a key component in Lets Gets Wellington Moving, although progress on that is at a snail's pace.
This week the Green Party came up with a new idea - two new additional tunnels. The Greens would not block the proposed car tunnel but would like to see two more built.
One would be a dedicated walking and cycling tunnel parallel to the existing Mt Victoria car tunnel, the second would be a light rail tunnel in Newtown, near Wellington Zoo.

In very good and in proper working condition - nothing wrong with any of the two machines, as far as I can tell.
Rowing Machine Measurements:
Picture - 1 Fully Extended - Base Length = 2400mm
Picture - 2 When Folded - Base Length = 1300mm & Height = 1700mm
NordicTrack Exercycle Measurements:
Base Length = 950mm & Height = 1400mm
If anyone is interested then a van will be required to transport the machines!
Also, the machines are heavy and understandably I don't want the walls to be damaged so at least two strong people will be required to transport them from the Basement/Ground Floor to the 2nd Floor.

The couch has been both a family couch and a flat couch and as a result the foam is has shifted a bit in some places and it also has a few marks.
This is a nice big squishy couch and great for naps! Each piece is separate (5 pieces in total) so you can set it up to fit whatever space you have. There are two corner pieces, 2 straight pieces, and an ottoman.
Some well-placed cushions and blankets would help fill in the gaps to ensure it is comfortable.
The couch would need to be picked up sometime in the next couple of weeks. We are home most days so it doesn't even have to be on a weekend!
I will probably also list elsewhere - for free :)

I bought these headphones some time ago at Noel Leeming for $149.99 but have only used them once. I did buy at the time a long ( 10m) extension cable for it which you can purchase for $10 if needed.
Sorry, I no longer have the box.
This spiralizer turns fruit and vegetables into a variety of spirals and ribbons . Ideal if you want to replace pasta with a low carb, healthy and tasty option.
