Hi, has anyone got any furniture they don't want, for a lovely Malaysian family who are setting up their own home. They could pay if cheap enough. They need 2 double beds and 2 single beds or a bunk bed. Dining table and chairs. Or anything else in reasonable condition and we would pick up. … View moreHi, has anyone got any furniture they don't want, for a lovely Malaysian family who are setting up their own home.

Hi all,

Woke up at 5am this morning, to see my son's work vehicle, parked right outside our bedroom window, has been broken into. Various tools stolen. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell the following items:

Stihl TS 500 Concrete Saw (orange and white) with an orange 8mm thick blade with the trolley (also orange and white);
AEG Drill and Impact Driver Set in the box;
Jack Hammer;
Angle Grinder.

Feel sick to the pit of my stomach about this for the cost implications of the missing tools, damage to the work van as well as implications to the job due to the loss of the tools.

Thank you guys.

Three months ago the under bench oven failed and we called in the FP repair guy who found a cockroach had shorted out the pcb on top of the oven. We accepted that it was our fault, so paid the near $250 repair cost. We than sprayed the whole area within an inch of its life to prevent it happening again, but!
Just over a month later the same thing happened again! This is in a new build house! Again we had it fixed, paid the bill and then wrote to FP asking for some help as this seemed very unusual and could be a design fault. They would not even consider any compensation, even though we were just asking for a contribution. So be warned, FP are not a sympathetic company and their customer relations stink!

Technology and Kids

First Chiropractic Hastings

Kids using technology is becoming an unavoidable part of modern life. A good compromise is to encourage your child to lie on their tummy when using a device. This simple solution helps prevent posture problems as it takes pressure off your child’s back muscles and nerves.

Canon Printer - Free

Jeannette from Mayfair

I have a Canon printer which I no longer require. It has wifi connection and also does all things you would want in a printer. Scan Fax Copy etc and what ever else it can do. It has ink in it and can also give a place to get cheaper. Would love a small group to benefit should they have a need. … View moreI have a Canon printer which I no longer require.

It was a gift now I would like to give it away.
