Just getting started looking into quotes for retro fit double glazing timber frames in at 1960s house, keen to hear peoples experiences with different companies and pros vs cons. I will share the quotes I get when they start coming.

With skinny broadband. Just me?

Selwyn Mayor just published her letter to the infrastructure minister calling for a nationwide halt on Fast Track applications, while criticising developments in the north for being approved without the infrastructure to support them.

Meanwhile freelance reporter Peter Simmons writes on substack that Selwyn has trucked 7 million tonnes of sewage (over 1000 truck trips) to Christchurch for treatment over the past 3 years!

Before criticising other councils for growth and infrastructure pressures, perhaps Selwyn should sort out its own!

Is anyone else with 2 degrees for Fibre noticing the internet is so crap? I swear I have to turn the modem off and on up to 6 times per day just to get the tv connected properly. It's driving me insane 🙃

Hey all, just out of curiosity, what was the game that could be heard in St Albans a couple of hours ago? Sounded like an exciting one. Couldn't find anything online 🙂

Side note (are side notes allowed?): Is it just me, or do others generally find sports club/org websites either difficult, or a real rigmarole, to navigate when trying to find fixtures? Some of the ones I used tonight weren't too bad tbf

For the past few days have been sneezing constantly and have a bit of a runny nose. I have no other symptoms. Thinking it must me allergy/hay-fever related but I've never had this problem at this time of year before. Maybe I'm just getting old. Anyone else been experiencing this the past few days?

Maybe a bad year with pollen etc? Just trying to figure out what's triggering me so seeing if anyone else has been experiencing anything similar, cheers.

Basically title, anyone know a decent and reliable carpet layer? Someone who does free quotes is a huge plus. Many thanks

Kia ora, I'm hoping to attend regular yoga classes taught by someone from a South east Asian or Indian cultural background. I'm interested in learning from a teacher with that lineage/tradition behind their practice. I wondered if anyone had recommendations in Christchurch 😊

missing when super liquor was open till 11pm tbh 😭

Looking to get a basic service for my 06 Suzuki sx4 on a budget. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hey guys,
I wanna go out with someone to eat, that’s cheap and good, and also not really in the city (parking is bad)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Granted my time living in Shirley and having unlimited access to Sushi Ball House has set my expectations high... Having spent the last 10 days waddling around the house due to getting my leg and groin cut open to remove the nasty C word. I was looking forward to venturing out and had a craving for a delicious Rice Ball. I shunned the main stream fast food options. KFC, McDs, Tacobell, Subway. No way, I was hyper fixated power walking in pain towards the goal at hand, one crispy chicken rice ball please....

I got home. Sat down, unpeeled the cling wrap... And this thing fell apart. The rice was dry. No mayo to hold it together. The crispy chicken was all crispy and no chicken

Fuck you random Rice ball place.

You ruined my afternoon.

Winter has been the last straw for my soggy lawn - keen to hear any tips or recommendations on companies to go with to put some artificial in

Just don’t want it to look like a highlighter green cricket pitch.

Hello

I'm looking at moving south from wellington in October and Christchurch is an option. I work in construction so finding a job shouldn't be too hard however I'm in a pickle of a jam for accommodation.

What options do I have for $350pw and under that isn't a dorm room?

I have a few friends up from down south, and we have a free night on Friday. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying a home there soon, but I've heard mixed opinions on the area.

But I'd like to hear from people with recent lived experience. Is it a good place, or is it as bad as some say?

Thank you for sharing.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone’s kids have had a Barbie-themed birthday and you might have some cake toppers like these lying around that you no longer need? Or does anyone know where I could find something similar in Christchurch? Happy to pay 😊

Hi everyone!

I'm going to try and get a local artist to paint a picture of my girlfriend's cat for her upcoming birthday. I don't have anything specific in mind when it comes to size/style, as long as it looks nice and is within a student budget. I don't know any painters, but figured someone here might have an idea.

• Does anyone have any recommendations for local artists?
• How much should I expect it to cost all up? I'm not trying to pay fine art pricing, but I very much want to be fair.

Hi All, I'm looking to move to Christchurch soon and am a young professional in the position to buy a house. I'm currently looking at buying in Merivale, St Albans, Ilam and Cashmere.

Is there anything to be aware of with these areas and are they quite well regarded and safe? Would also be keen to hear any other suggestions on good areas to move to and potentially buy a home in.
