Further to my original post below, as I can't email everyone who showed an interest in the queen bed we are selling I am putting another post on here.
I have added 4 photos of the bed to my original post and it is $100 including the valence, electric blanket and mattress protector.
Please let me know if you have any interest in the bed or any of the other items. We are negotiable on most of them.
Cheers, Pippi

We are moving in a couple of weeks from our lovely old character home and we can't take some of our furniture. I'd put them on the for sale page but it's closed and still says it's because of Level 4 lockdown (which were not!) Hopefully we'll be at level 2 soon and I'll be able to put them out for sale on here. If anyone is interested in any of these items please pm me and I'll send more photos. (Sorry if these pics are on their side, they're right side up in our photos!)
Beautiful 3 SEATER SOFA with wood detail. Colour: Dark red with touches of gold. Very comfortable with down filled cushions. Measures 175cm long x 95cm depth x 94cm height at the highest point at the back.
Large ANTIQUE GUILT MIRROR. measures 165cm high X 130cm wide. It adorns our entrance hall and looks amazing.
Kauri Glass Door DISPLAY CABINET measures 131cm High x 107cm wide x 44cm deep.
KAURI WARDROBE freestanding, measures 102cm high at it's highest point incl. top decoration, x 107cm wide x 43cm deep.

In New Zealand, business entertaining often occurs at drinks party events with elegant finger food hosted in the office reception or board room. The menu must be varied, with some vegetarian and gluten-free options and offer a mixture of fresh and crunchy palate-tempting snacks.

The Classic Club Sandwich remains one of these 'comfort dishes' that is ever popular but it needs to hold together so that the components don't slip alway and fall on your special jacket or silk dress.

As part of our Canapes and Drinks Party Cuisine module, we make a classic club with the test being - can you cut it in a triangle shape, on its side, and place on a platter, without the sandwich collapsing...
