We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).

Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer - Free

Louise from Woburn

Hi there, does anyone want a Brother Laser Printer? I even have a spare ink cartridge (which last for ages - these cost around $90-$100 each and are readily available on the internet).

I even have a spare ink cartridge (which last for ages - these cost around $90-$100 each and are readily available on the internet). It is working, but the paper does jam occasionally, and you sometimes have to unscrew the front to clear it, which is a bit of a palaver. It probably needs a service, but as I have two other perfectly good printers, I have decided to get rid of this one. You will need your own USB to printer port cable as I use the same one for all of my printers. Black only, takes A4 paper and envelopes.

Donna McQuaid’s wedding dress isn’t just a reminder of her special day.
It’s surrounded by memories of her late mother, who never got to share her own wedding dress because it was lost in a fire.
But in a series of unfortunate events, McQuaid’s dress was accidentally donated to charity after she lent it to a friend who was recently engaged.
Now she is keen to get it back.
She believes it was given to Lower Hutt Salvation Army.
