Otherwise, stay posted for great ideas coming your way. You can find us at www.homed.co.nz... and hear a little more from me in the video.

We have some Khaki Campbell/Indian runner cross ducks free to a good home. These are not for eating. Perfect if you have a lifestyle block. We have had these gorgeous birds as pets but it is time for a new home.

Perfect if you have a lifestyle block. We have had these gorgeous birds as pets but it is time for a new home.
Good layers of eggs, we have a selection of ducks and drakes. We would like them to all go together if possible. Currently have about six needing a new home.
It's that lovely time of year when we start to think about gifting to others.
You may notice the Christmas Trees in Kaiapoi - at New World, The Library and at WestPac. As always, we are in need gifts for kids who would normally go without over the holidays.

You may notice the Christmas Trees in Kaiapoi - at New World, The Library and at WestPac. As always, we are in need gifts for kids who would normally go without over the holidays.
Please remember the teenage/older brothers and sisters as they often get forgotten. And please donate new and quality gifts.
Each year we get sacks and sacks of poor condition preloved toys that we can not pass on. Please recycle these gifts at opshops and not under the tree. As a result we have to check all gifts and repackaged before going out, as we can not risk a child receiving something in disrepair.
Thank you for supporting us to ensure no child gets forgotten this Christmas.

Has it been a while since you've opened up your windows?

It's good to get some fresh air circulating with these hot days, but you might find your windows sticky or hard to open.
If they're aluminium windows - check the friction stays.
Like sliding door tracks you need to keep the friction stay track free from dirt and grime and keep the hinge mechanism clean. You can lubricate the metal pivot points with a little machine oil or CRC.
Conversely your window may flop open without any friction to keep it in place. If that's the case, chances are they need replacing, so give Jim a call to get them sorted. ph 0210 6988932
