Sunday Fun day At Palms A Sunday Sad day

The Giant inflatable slide was Not Giant there was NO bouncy castle no sausage sizzle and if hula hops in a small ring were circus work shop, sad. The candy floss was being served by a long haired girl that allowed it to flow into the bowl while scoping the floss no thought of hygiene and she constantly brushed it back with her gloves on Gross. The lines were crazy and considering it was 10 am to 4pm popsicles ran out at 11am a very disappointing day.

Environment Canterbury's 8.9 per cent total rates rise in draft plan

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

It's not as "grim" as it sounds, Environment Canterbury (ECan) says about its proposed 8.9 per cent total rates rise for the 2019-20 year.

On Thursday afternoon the ECan council approved its draft annual plan, which, after consultation and changes, has to be adopted by July 1.

It's not as "grim" as it sounds, Environment Canterbury (ECan) says about its proposed 8.9 per cent total rates rise for the 2019-20 year.

On Thursday afternoon the ECan council approved its draft annual plan, which, after consultation and changes, has to be adopted by July 1.

If the proposed rise goes ahead unchanged, that will amount to another $25 a year on the rates bill for the owners of a $570,000 property in Christchurch, an extra $152 a year on a $5.1 million rural property in the Waimakariri district and about $13 a year on a $250,000 house in Waimate.

Hi Neighbours :-)
I'm offering free electrolysis (the only truely permanent hair removal for all hair colours). I'm a senior student near the end of my training (so not inexperienced) and am in desperate need of a female with coarse dark hair growth around the chin area who wants this hair permanently removed for FREE. This treatment is usually charged out at anywhere between $40 to $75 per 15min session and I'm offering 2 x 30min sessions per week ( or one if I you'd rather not have 2 sessions in one week) for FREE. The treatment will be done at the National School of Aesthetics in Antigua St (a purpose built facility with all professional equipment) and supervised at all times by one of their extremely qualified friendly tutors. Someone who has had electrology before would be ideal but not essential. At this stage I simply need someone with good dark hair growth (not just a dozen hairs please as I need you to be my model for as long as possible so I can familiarise myself with your hair type for my upcoming exams) who is very reliable and wants to get up $300 of specialized hair removal treatment done for FREE.
If this sounds like you then simply TEXT ME ( please don't reply on Neighbourly as I find it hard to keep track of names and numbers if you do this) and you could be hair free for next summer or for your next big event.
I look forward to hearing from you ladies :-)

Mosquitos!!

Larry from Parklands - Marshlands

I'm a little bit over not being able to open doors in the evenings or even go into the shaded garden during the day because of darn mosquitos!
The CCC won't do anything about them but perhaps if we all do one simple thing it may help. Please check all around your properties for water … View more
I'm a little bit over not being able to open doors in the evenings or even go into the shaded garden during the day because of darn mosquitos!
The CCC won't do anything about them but perhaps if we all do one simple thing it may help. Please check all around your properties for water sitting in containers like flower pots, old tyres behind the shed etc or anything that will hold water. If you have anything like that with water in it, if you look closely you will possibly see little wrigley larvae in the water. Please empty it out! Also, for any of your neighbours not on Neighbourly, perhaps mention it to them next time you are chinwagging over the fence!
Many thanks!
