Empty tins and glass water bottle

Louise from Woburn

These seemed a bit too nice to chuck in the bin. Can anyone use them? Might be good for teabags/sugar/biscuits, seem quite airtight.

Men's trousers - 32-34 Reg to shortish length

Louise from Woburn

Seven pairs of men's trousers. Three are brand new! Two have a very small hole (less than 3mm) - the hazard of working with chemicals while not wearing a lab coat, but barely noticeable. All good quality ex-Kirks or David Jones. Unfortunately, my hubby's girth has increased before he got … View moreSeven pairs of men's trousers. Three are brand new! Two have a very small hole (less than 3mm) - the hazard of working with chemicals while not wearing a lab coat, but barely noticeable. All good quality ex-Kirks or David Jones. Unfortunately, my hubby's girth has increased before he got a chance to wear the new pairs. Would need someone not too tall with quite a svelte figure - 5ft9 and slim waist. Might suit a young man for work. DM me if interested. Must pick up in Woburn.

Jack belongs to Catrina Nicholson.
"Jack is seven years old and we have had him for under two months now. I put out a post asking if anyone was trying to find a home for a cat they could no longer take care of. So we had two on the day we went to see them. And we went for this boy Jack, settled in so fast."

Lily belongs to John and Virginia Francis, from Paraparaumu.
"Our Lily is a Maltese Sydney Silkie cross. At 17 months she is fully grown at 3kg. Loves meeting children and other small dogs."

Happy New Year to everyone on Neighbourly. This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!

"Before the festivities began, it was a quick drive over the Pauahatanui Inlet to try and capture some Kingfishers on camera, but it turned out to be Pied Stilt kind of day as we couldn't see any Kingfishers. Most of these photos are taken from one of the hides! There were Pied Stilt chicks too so their parental concern was quite evident from lots of noisy flapping of wings at other birds when they got too close. They were quite grumpy with each other too!"
