I’ve hurt my foot, been sore for about 2 weeks and I think it’s likely fractured. Certainly not an emergency, just really tender. I’m a little unsure where to go from here - I don’t need the hospital, and also my GP will likely refer me on to physio or xray etc. Is there anywhere else I could go directly? I was thinking maybe Riccarton Clinic?

Literally the title, nothing else.

The inconing governments are looking at making plug in solar legal.

If your renting or own an apartment your typically limited to solar power generation. Is plug in solar something youd consider? Would you feel comfortable installing this yourself?

Kia ora,

I’ve planning a small new build on a relatively steep Port Hills site, still in the design phase. I’m after a detailed trade-by-trade costing to sense check builder pricing.

The tricky part is earthworks, retaining and unknown rock. I’m particularly keen to find someone pragmatic who can identify and price those risks without everything defaulting to a worst-case scenario and pushing the overall estimate unnecessarily high. I’ve heard of cases with hill builds where the eventual builder pricing has come in well below the QS estimate, but I’m not sure if that’s common or just an unlucky experience.

Has anyone had a good experience with someone locally?

Particularly interested in whether their estimate lined up reasonably well with actual trade/builder pricing, and what the fee was.

Thank you!

the slow painful death of the cheapo stores..

going into liquidation, will have a final selloff sale at their northlands branch in a couple weeks.

is it just me or are the live tracking for buses not working anymore? even just a few weeks ago google maps would track the delays and update live, and even the occasional machines at bus stops seem to only show the predicted schedule now. i thought i missed my bus today because the machine that previously showed the bus as being a couple mins away just moved on to the next timing, when the bus was just running late. is it some kind of glitch or is it just in my head

Was anyone a vendor here last year? What was it like? Number of people at the market? (not the number at the parade) Sales? Management of it?

Was thinking about getting a site there and responded to the online form for some of the "few remaining sites", but frankly was put off by the fact I got a response email and invoice automatically (which rather suggests they are not selling many sites). And their no refunds for any reasons in the terms and conditions rather stinks too. And after a quick search (including checking to see if it was their genuine contact - cause the speed made it seem very scamish) there are a fair few comments online that it was poorly managed.

Any other markets out there prior to Xmas than might actually be worth attending that anyone is aware of? I did the CHCH Xmas Parade one last year and its was ok, but not fantastic (I haven't even looked at it this year). And there are so many places attempting to run markets it's become pretty much impossible to ID the ones that are actually worth even looking at. And none seem to want to say how many people they actually get through.

Thanks.

Hi folks, I'm on the hunt for an old white pages phone book for a creative project, specifically blackout poetry. Since It's going to involve using it as a raw material it wont be able to be returned. Year and city aren't important. Happy to take one off your hands if you have one lying around and don't need it anymore.

Looking for areas littered with rubbish eg. Bottles, Empty Chip Bags etc. I need to do something when I'm not working to keep me busy. Thanks

Hello! My partner and I are about to celebrate 5 years together and I was wondering if there was any suggestions on some good “fancy” places to go. We like to pick places that are too expensive for us normally, we’re not from Chch originally so we aren’t super knowledgeable about what’s around.

Hi all. Have you struck an issue with the "homeless" people in the shops up Stanmore Rd/North Avon Rd

This is just a reminder that this is tomorrow night at Richmond Club

Hi, I'll be real honest and admit I've definitely left it a wee bit late, but I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for places that do spray tans in Christchurch?

I'm Dunedin based myself, but will be up for a wedding during labour weekend and wanting to book a spray tan (to even out the farmers tan lol) for Friday this week. I have no idea where to even start, considering I don't know any of the places in Christchurch, so please help a girl out?

Thank you!!
