Today my hubby lost a valuable tool bag off the back of his truck. I’d appreciate your help in locating it please.
It fell off at approx 3pm today on Te Aute Trust Rd. Whoever found this bag drew an X on the rd with a yellow crayon from the bag.
(some of the smaller hand tools were also found nearby.)
So I’m hoping the person who did this is honest and will hand it in to the local police in Waipawa or Hastings.
The bag has been reported missing so police will have his contact details or here is hubbys’ cell-number
Simon 0276956987.
Let’s see what happens now??? Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Poll: Would you pay to use your neighbours' swimming pool?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

People rent out baches, rooms in their houses, their garages and car parking spaces, so surely hiring out swimming pools is the next logical step.

A new app lets people hire their private pools by the hour, but it hasn't come to New Zealand - yet.

Hi Neighbours
Like a lot of other people my water was filthy over the last three days. As usual I ran the cold tap for about 25mins first thing til the water looked much clearer as per Council instructions. I then ran the cold tap again at lunch time into the bathroom hand basin.It was discoloured again and when i let the water out the hand basin was left with what I can only discribe as a coating of grey silt.....and I had been drinking this,,,not out of the hand basin of course but during the morning cuppa. I phoned the Council and was told that as I had only complained on two previous occasions they didn't know it was happening!!!!!! It's only been happening for over two years. I was told I should ring them every time the water was dirty so they could work out a plan and find out where the problem is I don't hold much hope of it changing things but it is said the age of miracles isn't past . So LET US ALL phone the Council every time we find our water the varying shades of brown and see what happens
Good luck in getting through on what should be very busy lines.

Intex Pool Parts

Tracey from Taradale

Our intex pool blew over in the wind and some of the parts have been irreparably damaged. I wondered if anyone out there might have some of these bits lying around somewhere for a pool you no longer use? If so, I’d love to buy them off you. Photo of the parts attached. Many thanks.
