The Sunday Star-Times wants to hear from children about how they've been impacted by Covid-19 and lockdown. Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print. Parents, if you're happy for your children to be photographed please let us know.
I have miss placed the foot and plug to one of my sewing machines, would anyone have one they no longer need.
Happy to pay for it.

If anyone knows of someone that would have use for it please get in touch. Bottom mattress is an inner sprung one and the top one is a foam mattress. I would think you’ll need a vehicle/ trailer that’s large enough to take it all. Beds are currently disassembled so it’s an easy pick up and go.
Call on 0212942282 or 0220642552 to arrange pick up.
Wanted Chest Freezer over 350L does anyone have one they no longer need please. Must be in good working order.
Many Thanks Carol flick me a txt 0212461106
