Bomb-proof Child safety gate

Bevan from Wilton

Our son was extremely physical as a baby, and broke any child locks we had on drawers and cupboards in the kitchen. He even bashed his way through most child safety gates.
This one easily stood up to the challenge! It’s even still in great condition, with an extension should you need it.

Wellington Water Suburb of the Week - Karori

The Team from Wellington Water

A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!

A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!

A relatively wet week last week meant that overall people around the region have been keeping demand below the 160 million litre per day (MLD) target which is awesome to see.

All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.

Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.

Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.

Time to Remember Nick Bray

This weekend on Saturday at The Onslow Cricket Clubrooms (Nairnville Park) join us over a drink and a chat to remember Nick Bray who passed away suddenly on 15 November in Auckland.



Nick Bray was local who grew up in Khandallah joined the Onslow Cricket after leaving Scots College in 1987.



Playing in a lower grade team .....bunch of mates wanting have some fun while playing cricket for the local club. The next few years was great fun and really shaped some long standing friendships.



Nick was the captain and wicketkeeper/batsman.



Nick was a loyal club man. The clubrooms was an important part of the day and Nick made us all know supporting the club was a key part of playing for Onslow. Often the day was a long one! He had a great likable nature about him and was sadly missed when he moved to Auckland in the 90's but Onslow was never far from his heart.



Sat 1 November from 6pm - Nairnville Park upstairs.

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.
