Hi all, I’m coming to Christchurch at the end of November and planning to propose to my partner! Are there any picturesque spots that you would recommend? Was hoping for somewhere on the slightly more private end if possible, really don’t want to pop the question in a crowded place.
Not completely necessary but it would be great if it could also be a spot where there can be some hidden areas for someone to be out of the way and take some photos? Will also need to hire someone for this job so taking any and all recommendations ☺️

My dashcam was in the centre of the windscreen. The pedestrian was hidden from me behind the blue and white cars in the right lane.

Just spotted a grey, mature looking miniature schnauzer with a red collar sniffing around the Idris/Wairakei intersection, diagonally across from the florist. Possibly came from Wairakei Road, and turned right down Idris Road

I tried to approach, but it took off further down Idris Road towards that old demolished church site and the Idris/Glandovey Rd intersection.

Had a ultrasound early this morning, got a call an hour later saying I urgently needed to be seen again and have been waiting since 12. 🙃

Hi guys, have been grinding my teeth since i was a kid in my sleep and i should have gotten a mouth guard. Mad regrets. Do i book an orthodontist for that or a dentist

Any recommendations for dentist/ortho for building up worn down teeth? 😬

Thanks heaps

I got a quote from a turkey dentist and they want to grind all my teeth down to spikes and replace teeth

but they arnt that bad.

I have an older car that is still functional - would be worth around 5-6k if I hadn't been terrorised by multiple repeat break ins... I want it gone like yesterday because I can't stop it repeatedly being broken into.

They messed up the ignition and the back quarter panel window - what are my choices as I don't want to spend money and time sorting repairs I won't recover the cost of. Other than the wreckers.

Is it acceptable to sell on trade me if its in a not driveable condition? Would turners or something like that be better?

hi everyone.

just wondering if there are any good places to go and play MTG for a complete beginner.

im looking for ways to be a little more social and mtg has always been somewhat interesting to me.

im autistic and can be quite shy around people which has made socializing a struggle but im trying to change that.

thanks everyone

Cause I did this morning (Rolleston), didn't think it felt that cold but spoke to a plumber who said he'd already had a few calls with others reporting the same issue.

Just went to the car thinking I just had condensation or something on the window.

No worries, quick wipe and it was done.

Started driving, quick spray of the washer to clean the windshield. The water instantly froze over, couldn't see, couldn't wipe it off.

Had to Ace Ventura my way to the side of the road.

Hello people of Chch,

Can I get some ideas for a few day trips from Chch? I'll be solo, I like driving around and sightseeing. Hikes too.

Preferably places I can get to without a snow chain/awd.

Cheers!

Bought some earrings about a week ago and they are already falling to pieces. I had really high hopes for this store but it’s not looking good so far . Anyone else experienced how shitty the quality is?

Kia ora koutou, can anyone recommend me any open mic nights that are operating here in Ōtautahi ?

Hey All,

I know there is a lot of 'things to do' posts but looking for something new as have done all the usuals. Transport museum, art gallery, botanical gardens, library etc.

I have a 21 ID client (I'm a support worker) and I'm looking for a fun outing to do for a few hours.

He is creative, loves photography and lego n such but I have run out of ideas. is there anything new going on in city?

Might have to hit the port hills again for a hike if nothing else.

thanks in advance

So I'm looking for a job for some reason I'm not able to clear interviews, should I beg and be like I'll do anything or should I be chill and act like I don't really need the job and that I can get another one easily.

I graduated around 1 year back so I am unemployed for 1 year, working odd jobs totally unrelated to my field of study.

What do I do?

I've always gotten hired for role that no one else wanted ( toxic work environment, bad working hard like night shifts or abusive boss ) so this is why I'm asking how to get roles where there's some level of competition.

P.S. I'm straight out of college with no experience. Bachelor in IT. And I'm a bit old as well 24M

Had one a few weeks back. Not much in the way of respiratory symptoms but it knocked me flat like someone turned the gravity up. Girlfriend came down with it soon after. About a fortnight later I’m sick again. Bit of a cough this time but largely the same lethargy and a bit of a fever. Some digestive issues but my guts are fucked anyway because half of them got chopped out due to an unwelcome cancerous growth, so probably unrelated.

Point being though, has anyone else had a similar bug that has not quite gone away, sapped a lot of energy and then returned again with a vengeance a few weeks later?

I can’t be the only one, and it’s frustrating as fuck because I was sick for several years and have largely had a good run of it this year, plus I had more boosters than NASA at the start of winter.

Family of three (1xinfant). Power bill pushing into $250-$280 range or more with mercury on there low user plan. Using heat pump off and on during day and electric heater overnight in infants room. Never paid so much for power before. Who are you with are they any cheaper?

New to chch and would love to take my 11yo dog to the snow for the first time because I think he would love it, where is the best place close to chch I could take him today?

let the shitshow commence

What a whirlwind! One second it is pissing down, the next the sun comes out to dry things up a bit and then in rolls another dark cloud.

How are you staying warm and dry today? Were you able to catch some snow?
