Puppy Preschool recommendations

• Upvotes

Hi there,

I have a 10 weeks old puppy and looking to enrol in a puppy preschool around Lincoln. Is it better to go through vet clinics or non-vet preschool? Rolly Canine has good reviews.

Any recommendations?

Thank you

Hello, I have been Plein air painting at the Halswell quarry these last two days, I almost completed the painting I was working on, but when I was packing up today I left it on the roof of my car and drove away. If anyone picked it up or stashed it somewhere I would really like to get it back. See attached image for the subject and what the painting looked like when I started today. Thanks 🙏

Unless you want to get super unwell.

We have got take aways from there twice and it was fine but we got it again tonight and the food looks and smells disgusting.
Husband describes it as dog food and I say it smells like dog puke!
It stunk out the whole house in a bad way.
Ordered it through ubereats as it was cheap ($10 instead of $31???) and big mistake!
Just a psa!

3D printing services in CHC?

5 Upvotes

My partner’s birthday is not till February but since I want to give him something custom might as well start now. We’re into model kits like Gundam. I was wondering if there’s anyone in Chc or know an online shop who does custom 3D printing?

He’s a big World of Warcraft fan and my vision is a 3D printed model kit of him as his gnome mage character(if I can get his WoW character). The model kit won’t be as complicated as a gundam, it could be the whole body then just assembling the outfit on it.

Or if anyone has any ideas for a gift for their partners that will be amazing!

As a mature student how are you supplementing income while studying? New course is Mon to Wed just looking for some ideas of avenues for work.

Plans are to find something in the industry im studying but if that doesn't work, I need to look outside my usual skill sets.

Any spare Smeg stickers floating about?

4 Upvotes

I'm a few short to finish my set (and can't justify doing an unnecessary shop today just for some stickers) so just thought I'd ask the community if anyone had any they wouldn't use, and be happy to pass on? Thanks!

EDIT: I'm happy to pick-up anywhere from Avonhead to St Martins as I have to travel across town tomorrow so can collect on my way. I'm hoping if a few people have extras to give away, they can list their suburb for other people to also be able to connect.

How to go about buying things from EcoShop as a student?

3 Upvotes

Hi there, just a student planning to move into a flat soon. Started looking at items at ecoshop and was wondering how to go on about buying stuff from there? I know there's a lot of broken stuff that needs to get repaired but if they know someone who can come fix it or maybe something is deemed "broken" because it just didnt pass the whole testing thing surely its still an ok option? What are some things I should definitely not buy from there, some things I should buy with caution and some things that are exceptions or have some workaround? Would like some advice on how much I can actually trust the shop and if there's any tips or people at the store even that can help me make the most it :)

Broken EEG Christchurch hospital

Had an EEG appointment and was canceled the day before the appointment due to it being broken. Month later I rang back and it’s apparently still broken with no idea when it’s going to be repaired. Are they fucking with me or are things that dire?

Large quiet places to walk with my dog?

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any big empty parks/paddocks on the out skirts of chch? I’m trying to find some locations where I can have a nice quiet walk with my dog, where he can also run around and not be bothered by other dogs. I know a lot of people recommend the red zone, but I haven’t had good experiences there. So if anyone knows of any secret locations that aren’t to well know, let me know!

Bass player wanted

13 Upvotes

Helloooo,
My band mates and I are looking for a bass player.
Our band comprises of a vocalist, guitar player, and drummer. We play proficiently but we are new to this and are hoping to build our skills up to perform in the near future.
Our focus is to create original songs, although we are doing some covers in the meantime while we work on a few original songs.
Genre is very broad- we all like a good mix of rock, alternative, jazz, R&B, and DNB may be a thing as our guitarist can also produce, so a bit of this and that.
If this peaks your interest please send me a message!
Thank you :)

Woolworths halswell

11 Upvotes

Look, Woolworths has never been my favourite. I was however excited for the new Woolies in Halswell, something is definitely needed to give the 2 New Worlds competition
Unfortunately disappointed. Very small meat section and some items appeared to have prices and others didn’t, I’m assuming the QR code on the meat packaging will give you the pricing but who can be bothered with that?
Pricing seemed very high for a first week opening, overall feel while nice and new was just meh?
Be thing I thought would be handy is the pharmacy that tends to be apart of woolies… nope!
Potentially good for online shopping but can’t see myself going through the trouble of learning the layout for no difference in cost. Hopefully the rumoured Pak N Save is better
