Fast burning oregan kindling - UPDATE
KINDLING FUNDRAISER
As it's cooling down I thought I'd re-post this for my sons.
My sons are off to Australia with their Shirley Boys High cricket team in September and I am making them raise half the cost of their trip.
They have been selling this kindling for a few months now and have sold around 150 boxes with lots of repeat customers who are VERY happy with it.
They have been selling the smaller boxes in the photos for:
1 box =$10
3 boxes = $25
6 boxes = $50 (we can deliver 6 or more boxes)
They only have a few of these smaller boxes left but have been given bigger boxes.
These bigger boxes are:
1 box = $15
2 boxes = $30
3 boxes = $45
4 boxes = $50 (we can deliver 4 or more boxes)
The details are below:
The timber is non treated oregan which we have recycles and cut to length after a landscaper was going to dump them. They can be split in half or used as it is.
They can also be picked up from either Burwood or Harewood (Near Bishopdale)
Its a super cheap price and the oregan burns fast and hot!
They have loads of it all boxed up and ready to go and as mentioned have also sold a lot to very happy people.
First photo is of the small boxes which they have nearly run out of. Next photos are the bigger boxes priced above.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
