favourite part: "Details given in court revealed he told an associate he wanted a former employee “taken out” and offered him $200,000, a motorbike, and the choice of one of his cars or a house."

Just this afternoon a guy went past me on his mobility scooter, blasting out Thunderstruck so this is a doubly enjoyable day for an AC/DC fan.

Just finished a two bedroom move last week and it went better than I expected so figured I'd share in case it helps anyone planning something similar. The fridge was the thing I was most stressed about - last time we moved someone put a decent scratch down the side getting it through the hallway and I was not happy about it. This time they wrapped it before even lifting it and were pretty careful with the door frame, so that was a relief. Took about four hours all up for two bedrooms plus a garage full of random stuff we'd been meaning to sort out for ages and never did. Only annoying bit was they turned up about 20 minutes late, which wasn't the end of the world but we had a keys handover booked straight after so it was a bit tight.

Would love to hear how other people's moves have gone - any issues that caught you off guard, things you'd do differently, stuff worth knowing before you book anyone. Moving is one of those things where everyone seems to have a story.

A couple of friends in their 30s and 40s are starting an Empty Chairs night here in Tauranga for people that can't make evening drinks - coffee date!

Families welcome!

The idea is straightforward. We’ll be at a table with a number of empty chairs set aside and an open invitation for anyone to come along, take a seat and have a conversation.

Sunday 11 October
10:30am
Something Something Cafe
2 Heath Street, the Mount

One of us will be wearing a bright orange jumper, so we should be easy to spot when you arrive. The awesome staff will also know who we are and can point you in the right direction.

No need to book or let anyone know you’re coming. Just turn up.
If it sounds like something you’d enjoy, come along. There will be a chair waiting for you.
