We're about to the have the garage sale of the year! Okay, well actually it's a big tent in our back garden but the bargains are just as good!
Come and grab a bargain for Christmas... lots of beautiful items that would make lovely gifts, furniture to accommodate all the extra Christmas guests and household items to beautify your home.
It's taken a few years growing 2 families, but Susan and Dave are finally blending homes, and that's the cue for you to come and help move some of this mountain of excellent furniture, household goods, clothing and almost anything you can think of.
Our lovely homes in Epsom and Grey Lynn are downsizing to charming Westmere YAY, and guess what.... we can't fit it all in... we will happily swap our lovely items for your hard earned cash and spend it on our lazy cats and the garden... re-purpose, re-use and enjoyment for us all.
On the furniture side we have so many large items that we will be unable to bring them all to the sale... however, we will provide photos and arrange where we can for you to view prior. Priority will be given though to those who are happy to do like Trademe, i.e. pay then collect.
All the items are from clean and smoke free homes, are well maintained and cared for and will give many more years of service.

Honestly, if I was looking for a great buy before Christmas I'd be heading to our place on Saturday morning with my pocket full of jingling coins and folding stuff.
If you buy a large amount we're happy to do online banking (and Dave may even wear a Santa hat) ... but please feel free to empty your coin trays, piggy banks and wallets as cash would be a lot easier, thanks.
If you're interested in the furniture you can either take a chance and look at the photos on the day or if you're super super keen then you meet me at the storage locker tomorrow morning at 7am! It's in Grey Lynn... PM me if you want to help shift this stuff so I don't have too!
There's obviously a bit of dismantling to be done with some of the furniture and some of the bigger items are heavy... we'll help where we can but you'll probably get the girl so bring the muscles for the lifting.
Some of the furniture is also still in an apartment in Grey Lynn (Richmond Rd near Gypsy) ... small condition is that you will need to pay to hold, then collect anytime from Monday morning to Thursday lunchtime next week (9-12 December) ... sorry, but we've had people flake before and we cannot find enough hours to get back there until Monday morning... it's silly season!!
Any questions as all, then please message me back here, or call me on 021 149 7373.
Please help us re-home all these items, they need lovely new homes.
Happy bargain hunting... Susan 021 149 7373

E-scooters and similar lightweight, small, convenient types of electric vehicles could transform our transport system making urban transport less polluting, less noisy, less space-consuming, less dominating of our urban spaces.
But they need to be used in the right places and that isn't on … View moreE-scooters and similar lightweight, small, convenient types of electric vehicles could transform our transport system making urban transport less polluting, less noisy, less space-consuming, less dominating of our urban spaces.
But they need to be used in the right places and that isn't on footpaths.
With e-scooters being allowed on footpaths in Auckland for another period, as well as in other major and increasingly smaller centres, the threat to pedestrian safety and feeling of safety is getting more severe. This is particularly the case for older people, people caring for young children, and temporary or permanently disabled people but affects everyone who uses footpaths.
If people aren't safe or don't feel safe on footpaths then they are less likely to use them. For many people who depend on footpaths to get about, this could deprive them of the ability to go shopping, visit friends, get to work and to be part of their communities. Others may be put off walking for exercise which makes a hugely important contribution to maintaining people's health.
'We support these new forms of mobility but only if they are kept off footpaths. Footpaths are for people on foot and for people using mobility aids such as wheelchairs and white canes. Vehicles capable of high speeds (25-45 km/h) are incompatible with people capable of walking at only 3-5km/h. There is no way to enforce speed limits on footpaths so thinking it's okay as long as riders don't go more than 10 km/h is nonsense. And relying on people being caring and considerate is naivety.' says Dr. Chris Teo-Sherrell, convenor of the Footpaths4feet coalition.
The Footpaths4feet coalition* is running a petition to Parliament asking it to ensure that there are safe places created on-road for e-scooters and other such vehicles to use and that they be banned from being ridden on footpaths.
This is the final week for the petition and we encourage everyone concerned about keeping footpaths safe to sign it on the parliamentary petitions webpage (search for footpaths4feet on Parliament's frontpage www.parliament.nz... )
The Footpaths4feet coalition* is made up of Living Streets Aotearoa, Grey Power, Age Concern NZ, CCS Disability Action, Alzheimers NZ, Blind and Low Vision NZ, Association of Blind Citizens, Visual Impairment Charitable Trust Aotearoa, Retina NZ, Deaf Action, Health Action Trust, Dunedin Pedestrian Action Network, Disabled Persons Assembly
