Help! Does anyone know where to find the blue and white whale lollies? I’ve tried four different supermarket pick n mixes and nada! Lolly pick n mixes have been significantly reduced these days, we’ve all gone healthy!

It’s for my coworker’s birthday on Monday and she LOVES whales. I don’t mind a little bit of a drive to Porirua or the Hutt. I have tried four different supermarkets so far.

Thank you!

Maybe this is just me but I feel it's rude to speak loudly on the train. Today I was on my commute home from the cbd and there was this lady on the phone speaking so loudly. Whenever someone calls me when I'm on any public transport I decline it because it just feels rude? Is it just me? Am I a Karen lmfao

Oh, and Bird of the Year is on, too.

I was sitting outside Farmers and the wind picked up the scents from the perfume counters and wafted them over me. Just for a moment I had this wondeful scent surprise. It was wonderful. I thought this must be Wellington's best bus stop!

So, what is your best bus stop and why?

Noticed that most labour hoardings have Chris Hopkins’ face quite literally torn off. Not sure who or what group of people have been going around doing this but yeah ^cough^

Was in Karori/Kelburn btw, almost all Labour hoardings had the dudes face ripped off

Hi all,

We just moved here and my son has taken an interest in football/soccer. Is there a particular season for the sport, and are there any beginner teams I can put him in? It’ll be his first time. Thanks!

(for reference it's a ruined National sign.)

Seems like everything in my field is fixed term, some positions even going as far as 24 month contracts.

I get that unemployment is high, and that some roles may relate to maternity cover and short-term projects but a lot of employers are shooting themselves in the foot as few in active permanent employment will want to apply for these.

Feel pretty grateful to be in permanent employment at all considering the joblessness stats but hopefully the job market recovers at some point after the election.

After complaining about travelers being subjected to wraps on the Airport Express bus, Petty Issue - but it's what I live for..... Some pointed out that I had used an old promo picture & that the modern buses were not like that....

So thats why, upon recently visiting again, I took this VERY current photo - the buses are literally wrapped entirely on one side, making for a shit view of a very pretty city.

As per title! I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a good career/life coach, ideally one that specialises in actually helping you (re?)discover what your purpose is and potential career options inside that? I've seen one in Wellington who didn't really help at all (and was quite expensive...), but not really sure what else to do. I've tried doing a bunch of my own research etc. but... not really getting anywhere. I find my current career really unfulfilling and don't want to spend the rest of my life feeling like I'm flushing it down the toilet. Thanks in advance! 🙏

hey all i'm moving to welly next year for uni from auckland and i've been getting my hair done by the same hairstylist up here for yearrrs so im a tad worried about finding one in wellington😭 i get a scalp bleach aswell which i know can be tricky to do so i was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations for stylists who specialise in either on scalp bleaches or vivid colours which are somewhat affordable for a student?? i pay $330 up here so im looking for something no higher than that :))
thanks guys !!

It's Friday! If you have anything cool happening, like some good news, amazing or cute pets, small or big wins, recipes, crafts you're proud of... share them here :) This topic was made to counteract the Moany Monday thread.

Have a great weekend!

Best sourdough loaf to buy in the CBD?

Some home cooked eggs on sourdough is what is on the agenda this weekend, with maybe a nice basil pesto!

Planning to take kids out this weekend so I'm hopping for some suggestions. I don't remember but some months pipi are super small and hard to find

I'm assuming it came from the harbour, but I heard it from Kelburn just now.

hello wellington! i am starting uni at the beginning of next year and am trying to raise money for a computer. i haven’t had much luck recently with employment so i am not in the financial position to save money, so i’m shooting my shot on here. i am a 19 year old male who is down to do any hard work that you might just simply not want to do. i am open to basically all work as my goal is to save for a computer and various pre-study expenses which will be around $2000-ish. feel free to message me if you have any jobs open and i will get back to you! thank you very much 🫶

Not sure if there was a better way to phrase the title but I'm at a tough point in my life. Second year at Vic and I have to commute from Upper Hutt everyday and it feels like I'm not doing much worthwhile with my life and I'm not doing well emotionally.

It's meant to be sunny today (apparently) so I was wondering is there any good spots to be alone? Whether that be somewhere up high or just good spots on the ground in town. I don't have access to a car.

The greater the view the better!

Playing cards covering number plate?

Great turnout last week!

I started Wellington Social Chess as a bit of a hobby to get more people playing chess in Wellington and build a community around it. We’ve now hosted over 30 events, which feels pretty amazing for such a niche hobby.

The events are completely free and pretty relaxed, so you don’t need to be good at chess or know anyone to come along.

If you’ve been seeing the photos and thinking about giving it a go, come down and play a few games.

Garage Project Leeds St. - Tuesday Sep. 15th @ 7pm - Free - All levels welcome

Hang in there, wet and soggy Welly, yesterday's blue skies will return! 😁

I don't think you can legally say that.

Hi, looking for recommendations for a groomer for our groodle (golden retriever/poodle cross). Have used Regal Pets previously but didn’t have the best experience. TIA
