omg dont tempt me.id have to get them on the way back home....oh now i want to go have a look!

Does anyone know a good place to stay in chch? I need a place that is child friendly, reasonably cheap under $120 a night as I am only staying 1 night on my way up to Nelson and 1 night on the way back down to Dunedin. I am planning on going to Willowbank with my daughter so somewhere sort of close to that would be nice. Any ideas? Thanks

Does every town or city need a pet store? Yes or no?

going to be used for hunting as well as just a family member

Lab/german wirehaired point or purebred wirehair german pointer...?? Does anyone know much about these 2 breeds? Both used for hunting. Looking at getting a dog, either one of these breeds and I know what labs are like when they are older (health problems etc) so I was wanting to know if there are any health concerns or issues I should know about lab/pointer cross or purebred pointer? thanks

Hey, I have started my own business from home so I can still have my family time without going back to work.... I have added my website to my signature. Hope everyone is having a fab day! Nice and frosty here in Otago!

lol, my skin is good!!!! it was more because i sit at home alot and watch tv when my wee one is asleep and i see LOTS of home shopping ads and i was interested to know if it actually worked! much like the bio mag.....lol does it work like they say it does... and that silly ad for stonedine pans etc....the home shopping ads drive me mad, but im sure someone out there has bought something off the tv before!

Has anyone used or know someone who has used Proactiv? I just want to know if it really does what it says it does!! :dunno:

its easy to maintain the fire at night. i either put a couple of large logs (half a tree round) on before bed (around 10pm) and then when i wake in the middle of the night 3 or 4am (because of child) i just restoke it. I hardly ever sleep through the night so no issues there!

thats really interesting. so even though they call it a 'wetback' its not really a wetback! we live about 50mins south of dunedin now and id say 9.5 out of 10 home have a fire. all the neighbours had their fires lit WAY before we did!! im just getting the arguement from my partner that it would end up being the same amount of cost to run a heat pump as it would be to use wood. although the heat pump doesnt heat as far around the house. trying to win the battle so that heating can go on in the house!!

Which is better? We have both fire and heatpump and I am trying to decide which will be better. Heres some info so you can vote fire or heatpump lol: Our heat pump is in the lounge and heats the lounge and kitchen well, but doesnt heat the hallway and 3 bedrooms overally well, unless we turn up the degrees (using more power and more $$$$) Fire is in the kitchen/dining room, huge box fire (biggest one you can have in a residental area) and is on wetback so heats the hot water. We can get wood easierly as my partner works in the forest. I was thinking the fire would be better as it heats the water as it heats the house (2 birds with 1 stone) so that we arent using power to heat the water and the powerbill will be abit smaller The issue we are having is the age old male vs female whats better and cheaper to run. The heat pump (not sure what it is an hour) or the fire which heats the water and uses fuel that is techincally free except for the time getting the wood and chopping it up. Does anyone have a view on this???

a photo of the wallpaper (as good as i could get it) so you get the idea!

1 or 2 mm at the most feels like paper lol maybe a little brittle no sheen to it really as far as i am aware it hasnt been used for anything other than a spare/guest room.

good idea but i dont need to hang like picture frame pictures. im putting things like photos (just the photos) postcards, foam shapes etc on my daughters walls. i cant have hooks or anything she can get off the wall!!

I am trying to decorate a room with textured wallpaper ARGH!!!!! :facepalm: its driving me nuts :nilly: NOTHING will stick to it. I have tried blue-tack, sticky tape rolled up into a circle, double sided sticky tape, masking tape, packing tape, electrical tape (as you can tell I have tried ALLLLLLL the tapes!). I have tried wiping down the walls just incase there is something on them, with warm water, warm water with cleaner in it, cold water, turps and meths......... does anyone have any other ideas? Ive put a few things up on the walls with pins or tacks but I dont want to cover the wall with them or put holes in the pictures. Its not time to rip wallpaper down yet or paint, sticking things to the wall is just temp! Help me please!
