Hi neighbours,
What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.
This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

One traffic lane on SH1 (southbound) between Empire Road and Chaneys overbridge needs to be closed for us to do this work. The Tram Road on-ramp will also need to close during morning peak hours only.
From Thursday 3 January 2019 one of the two southbound lanes will be closed till 13 January. From 13 to 20 January we will shift the traffic lanes; this will narrow the lanes and you will have to reduce speed, so this could still delay your journey.
The Tram Road on-ramp closure will be in place from Monday 7 January to 13 January, during morning peak hours only. Please use the Old Waimakariri River Bridge/Main North Road or use the Ohoka Road on-ramp.

-Dresses

-Suits
-Tops
-T shirts
-Bags
-Shoes 25+ pairs (some shown) - mostly size 6 & 7 uk or 39 & 40's
Most of the clothes are sizes 12 & 14.
Every item is clean, in good condition and from a pet and smoke free home.
Some items are brand new including the capri pants in the photos - these three pairs (all size 12's) cost more than my asking price and there are literally too many items to mention and photograph separately hence being sold unseen but buyer will not be disappointed.
Ideal for someone who has the time and inclination to iron and on sell on trade me. The value of these items run into thousands and include lables such as Pagani, Brown Sugar, Laura Ashley, Marks & Spencer, Wallis, Monsoon and many more too numerous to mention.
There are about 6 large black sacks full and I have thrown in a red super king duvet cover and 2 pillow slips.
Buyer can collect from Oxford Estate or may be able to deliver.

My grandson managed to open the gate and walk onto the Woodend road, he is 18 months old, chaos reigned while we rushed out , many cars were around. Visiting friends and people from stopped cars helped us stop traffic and retrieve him safely. The car, parked outside 9 Woodend road was our friends car and we saw it then drive off with the rest of the traffic. It drove towards Rangiora. No one had keys to their cars so could not chase it. I will get back to you with number plate. Please also check buy and sell if you see Quad bike wheels for sale please let me know. Thanks
I thoroughly recommend Thai Aroma in Arlington - Rangiora for delicious food, large servings, and excellent service. I took my team from Motivation deSign for our Christmas function and we all walked out so full we could hardly move!

7 pm this evening at 39 Canterbury Street, Ashley.
The service will be lead by Paul Askin and our pianist will be Tony Gouedard. We expect to be finished by 8 pm and there is supper to follow. A couple of things to bear in mind are that we do not have a toilet so do 'go' before you come; and the grounds are very wet. Cars will be able to use the drive for drop off if necessary but all parking will be on the street today. Your donations received during the Collection will go towards the ongoing maintenance and restoration of our Category 2 Heritage Building.
Thanks to the person/people who left money in place of the free plums we had outside our house on Sefton Street. Given to teenage child to thank him for his picking skills! Will be more next week, will let you all know when they’re bagged up and ready to go!
Merry Xmas!

MAKE A WILL! Especially if you want to include step-children or whangai, or if you have repartnered or separated, or (males) if there could be other children you don't know about or don't want to know about, or if you don't have children and don't want your distant relatives to be the beneficiaries if you and your partner are both killed in the same tragic accident....
Answer the questions, download the Word document, print it, and sign it in front of two adults who are not beneficiaries in the will. (Confession time - we are selling it, but we didn't write it. We've tried it out and it's okay although there are bits we would tweak if we were writing it from scratch.)
