    Default Internet dongle and payg SIM card

    Hi,

    Can anybody tell me the best place to buy an Internet dongle and payg SIM card in Christchurch.

    And mid price mens clothes (similar to All Saints in UK) to buy a beige cotton coat and an outdoor coat.

    And a reasonably priced B&B

    I don't ask for much :-)

    Cheers

    And long johns

    And underpants and vests (similar to M&S in UK)

    And work boots and hi-visibility waterproof jacket, I would probably pay £30 per piece in the UK, none of this De Walt stuff.

    And can somebody hold my hand lol

    Cheers

    Vodafone for the phone stuff. And Farmers or The Warehouse for the other stuff depending on the quality / price you want.

    If you're still in the UK (judging by the location you've stated on your username) then you can order a PAYG card from http://www.0044.co.uk/ and let you family / friends know the number before to fly out. That's what I did.

    Second Farmers and Warehouse for initial purchases ( most of the malls have one if not both ) . There are safety clothes suppliers around Christchurch which will be more expensive but cheaper in the long run as better quality on the whole.

    Good thread-

    We are going to stock up on outdoor wear at Great Outdoors near us in UK as it seems cheap- OR would it be cheaper / better in NZ?

    Also- we have a tent: should we leave it and get one there?

    Finally- electric blankets: get over here or buy in NZ??
