Go on ....... Declutter Your Garage In 10 Easy Steps!

Affordable Garage Carpet Auckland

We come across garages of all shapes and sizes but the common theme amongst them all is they are a well over used storage area that often becomes a dumping ground.
Here's our ten step programme to help you declutter your garage and make it a more useable space:


Ingredients:


Rubbish Bags
Marker Pen
Drink (alcoholic if its after 12pm and you're not driving to the dump!) Snacks (unhealthier the better, you're going to burn loads of calories)
Radio or stereo with some great tunes
Trailer or skip (optional)
Storage containers
Broom
Mates (optional but highly recommended to help you)


Steps:


1) Choose a fine day with no rain forecast (almost impossible in Auckland right?!)


2) Move everything out of the garage and create piles outside with signs (ie Dump, Charity, Mum and Dad's house etc)


3) Ring your kids and tell them they have 2 hours to collect all the stuff you've been storing at your place since they left home!


4) Be ruthless and throw out as you go. If you haven't used it in the last 12 months you aren't going to. Don't kid yourself, you're not going to start cleaning your car now if you haven't done it in over a year! (Your poor car, but at least there will be room for her in the garage now)


5) The items that are staying, group together (ie sports gear, automotive gear, gardening tools, pet supplies)


6) Use your storage containers if and where possible. Label them clearly so you can see at a glance where things are located. Cupboards are great as well.


7) Sweep out or vaccum if you already have garage carpet. If you don't, call us while your garage is empty and we will carpet it for you within the day! If you tell us you saw our "De-clutter" post we will give you a 10% discount :-)


8) Put everything back into the garage in a orderly fashion. Try to keep the theme and put similar things near each other.


9) Sit down on your clean garage floor and give yourself a pat on the back!


10) Send us your before and after photos and be in to win the prize for Best Transformation!

Speed Friending Event, Sat 21st Feb 7pm, Dairy Flat Community Hall

Michelle from Waitoki

Are you wanting to expand your social network, perhaps find a new bestie, or are you new to the area and wanting to find a new friend group?

Speed friending allows you to connect with others, having a full five minutes with each person you get paired with, and later if you both wish to connect, we’ll facilitate that by email. We will provide prompt questions to ensure you won’t be stuck for conversation. It is most definitely NOT a dating event and is aimed at the 40+ age group.

For those who are a little nervous you’ll be greeted at the door and shown through to the bar area - our aim is to keep any pre-event jitters to a minimum. Please bring cash as there is no EFTPOS available.

This is a limited number event so please email fastfriendsnz@gmail.com to register your interest or ask any questions you may have.

All proceeds go to the Dairy Flat Community Hall.

We hope to see you there.

PSYCHIC AND MEDIUMSHIP READINGS.

Howard from Orewa

HI EVERYONE❗
Would you like to know what the future has in store for you ? A new romance perhaps ? Moving house ? Different job ? Would you like to receive a message from a loved one who has passed ?
Interested ? Then come along to our next meeting, this Wednesday, February 11th, 7:30pm start, in The Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa. There is a car park next to the hall. We finish around 9pm.
We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we ask for only $5 each please. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a warm, pleasant relaxing atmosphere, people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Often, the medium will provide evidence by giving small details that the medium could not possibly have known.
Look us up on Facebook. Satisfy your curiosity by coming along and checking us out. It will be a revelation !
And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗
