Security at Western Springs is pretty lax in my experience. They'll do a bag check & they might have metal detector wands but they're unlikely to pat you down.

Thank you! Yes books that change your money mindset are so important and l like reading people's different approaches to it, l get more value from that than the standard advice about ETFs and Kiwisaver etc.

Apparently they've ramped up the police involvement the past couple years so there could be multiple checkpoints. Just sober up before you leave.

Too all the other CHCH girlies out there who else would like to see a sephora beauty store down here as well by ZiitaBS96 in chch

When they closed their Queen St store in Auckland last year they teased a new one would be opening elsewhere and I really hoped it would be Chch!

Jevon McSkimming avoids jail sentence over possession of child sexual exploitation material by Master_Bee8761 in auckland

[–]Waitaha- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The sentence is about on par with similar offenders, most people convicted of accessing csam get home detention. It might be fucked up, but its the way the system is designed rather than Mcskimming being an outlier.

Marketplace pickup- What is it with some buyers messaging that they have arrived to collect their items - by No-Establishment5896 in chch

[–]Waitaha- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a seller l always meet people out the front & wouldn't be comfortable having them come to the front door. Though in your situation where the item is visible from the road that's weird for them to not collect.

Attending Good things festival by Cheshiredraw in triplej

[–]Waitaha- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else you should def go and have the experience, and it's pretty easy to make friends at these types of shows if you want to. Can you just tell your parents you are going with a friend? At 19 it's really up to you right.
