Treadmill

Justine from Saint Johns

More stuff as part of a big clear out ahead of moving.

This is tough one to let go off. It’s been an amazing treadmill for the years I’ve had it and it’s got high end features that you don’t get anymore unless it’s a commercial unit.

This has a long bit that you can run on and stride out without falling off. 18 levels of incline and slow release hydrolic to keep you safe when lifting it up and down.

Kill switch line which you attach to your tshirt and if you tumble it pulls off and stops the machine.

Has a fan and mp3 player cable. I use an adapter and play my iPhone through it.

It’s got pre programming as well but I never used that much.

Now for the bad news -
1: I think the mat need some help because it’s got a bit of a wrinkle or pucker (?) and is rubbing on one side.

2: when my daughter started using it she thought she broke the screw thing that locks into place to keep the tray up when not in use. She freaked out and tried to “fix” it ( it wasn’t broken) with glue so now the screw doesn’t automatically lock into place place - I have to manually screw it in and take it out.

3: when I went to move it after I got a shoulder injury (hadn’t been used much since then) I was too lazy to pull the power plug out and it knocked on the door frame and the plastic frame that the plug sits it broke. I’ve put a picture in. I’ve tried to find someone to fix it but haven’t had the money to take a punt on having people come over to check it. It works fine ( I’ve got the power in without the plastic bit ) but this is the reason I’m giving it away rather than selling it.

I can’t take it with me and I’ve busted my knee anyway so have to go to a bike so if anyone knows how to dispose of these ( if no one wants it) can you let me know?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Cycad needs new Home!

Andrew from Ellerslie

We are about to get the outside of our house painted - and have decided this Cycad needs to go. I've started the recommended process for transplanting - trimming a portion of the fronds - but note that the best results require the move to new location to be as fast as possible. Before I start the root bulb work, is anyone local interested? I see they are listed at hundreds of $$ - but happy to discuss. It needs to go.
