We are needing to get in contact with him. Or we are looking for a reliable young lad who is looking for a bit of pocket money, who could mow a small amount of lawn at the front of our house every two weeks. They would have to have their own mower. If you know anyone like this please private message me and we can go from there. We are in the Hillcrest area.
thanks

We have a garage full of decorations that i spent a couple of years collecting would love to pass them on to someone else to enjoy, as i dont want to sell item by item on trade me. Its a great eclectic miss including large crystal vases, runners, sashes, candle holders, and so much more . Perfect for the sailing club venue we used. Perhaps someone else can benifit from all the hard work done by us and our friends or compliment what youve already got. Also have bridal shawls for the cold weather, wedding arch , fairy lights galore. Shelves full of good stuff .
Free to anyone who wants it, our Dog doesn't like it and it's a struggle to get thru it with her other food mixed in.

Our club, Browns Bay Bowling Club, is looking for carpet, preferably a plain colour, about 6 - 8 meters square for our annex building.
Perhaps you are upgrading your own house carpet and just want the old stuff gone?? (prefer it from a smoke free home). If it's in OK condition, not yet cut up by the carpet layers, please give us a call and we can go from there.
Thanks so much.

Sharing on behalf of a friend 😞 LOST 13mth old golden retriever named Sunny.
Description:
💜 Purple collar - with name & number on tag. • Multicoloured leash still attached possibly (see pic below)
• almost full size (big breed of dog)
• shorter fur on her back (like a Labrador) but feathery tail still like a retriever
• dark rings around eyes and darker ears
• anxious but very gentle and friendly
• MICROCHIPPED (so not the impounded lab people have spotted in the council pic)
We got her one week ago so she’s NEW to the area so might not find her way home to us. She’s not used to sudden noises & busy roads (from the countryside / far north). Very scared of fireworks etc.
Last seen:
Was near top of Sunnynook road around 8.40am on Wednesday 9th Nov but got a fright when my kid fell over and she ran off down the hill. Last seen running very fast (!!) down wylie ave / juniper rd near Sunnynook park but unsure after that as was scared and wasn’t stopping. Someone thought they spotted her in greenhithe but I don’t think the timings match up (they said 7.30am) - who knows though.
*Vets and Council contacted etc
• Posted on NZ lost dog registry, Lost Pet Finders NZ etc
What you can do:
• Please check your properties incase she’s hiding / resting.
• Grab her if you can gently approach her calling her name ‘Sunny’. She may run away if you run towards her. She’s anxious but very friendly & gentle / harmless!
• Please spread the word - she could be ANYWHERE on the north shore & beyond now (missing since Wednesday morning)
