Selling due to upgrade to higher grade sleepy head mattress and bed.
The mattress has been stored and sealed in plastic protection bag. It's very heavy and I cannot move it by myself. So you will need two people to move it,
Must pick up from Eastbourne.
The last few days have seen green e-scooters everywhere on the streets of Petone and elsewhere. Is it just a temporary fad, or is this form of transport here to stay ? It can be rather hazardous at times !

You don't want to have to call in a plumber to clear out a 'rag monster'.
‘Rag Monsters’ are made up of wet wipes, nappies, cloth, tampons, sanitary and incontinence pads, hair and other non-biodegradable material.
These items have no place in the wastewater system and should never be flushed down the toilet.
Give your loo the ultimate gift today by only flushing the 3Ps down the toilet: Pee, Poo and [toilet] Paper.
Happy Christmas!
You know Flusher and Dumpster and Lumpy and Oilen
Congealed and Curdle and Drainer and Greasen

But do you recall
The most famous fatberg of all?
Lard-olph the Red-Nosed fatberg
Had a very oily nose
And if you’ve ever poured fat
You would even see him grow
All of the other fatbergs
Used to gurgle and call him names
They never let poor Lard-olph
Join in any blockage games
Then one fatty Christmas Eve
The plumber came to say
"Lard-olph, with your nose so bright
How’d you block up the whole pipe?"
Then how the fatbergs loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Lard-olph the oily-nosed fatberg
You'll get stuck in history.”

This Christmas when you cook up a feast for your family, do not pour the leftover fats, oils and food scraps down the drain. Nobody wants a hefty plumbers bill on Christmas day!

Accept Your Partner’s Influence
Accepting your partner’s influence will help to avoid escalating conflict. Dr. Gottman has learned that women tend to be better at accepting influence than men, but men who learn how to listen to and respond to their partner’s influence stand to benefit with a happier and longer-lasting marriage than those who don’t.
There’s good reason for men to listen. Results of an American Psychological Association survey show women are more likely than men to report increased stress during the holiday season. Sources of stress include lack of time, lack of money, and pressure to give or receive gifts. The results of increased stress can make a woman feel sick and tired, and lose interest in sex.
A couple who listens to each other, and takes into account each other’s wishes and feelings when making decisions, will have much happier holidays. Look for the parts of your partner’s point of view that make sense to you, even if you disagree. Consider each option from their perspective and validate their emotions.
Solve Your Solvable Problems
The choices couples face around the holidays can create situational problems that are solvable. Children may insist on gifts that aren’t affordable. An invitation to an event may conflict with other plans.
Dr. Gottman has identified a five-step model for solving these solvable problems. The skills needed can be learned with very little training.
Most of us have these skills already:
Soften your start-up
Learn to make and receive repair attempts
Soothe yourself and each other
Compromise
Process any grievances so that they don’t linger
