Quality Blankets Wanted!
Kia ora neighbours! ❤️
Do you have a quality blanket you don't use anymore?
Sustainability Options are running a blanket drive for families they work with in cold, damp homes.
I feel like this winter has been tough. We have had long, cold nights, and weeks of rain, I have been freezing and live in a lovely home I can only imagine how hard this must make it for locals in homes who can't hold in the heat or keep out the wetness 🥶
Woolen or quality blankets are a great way to help a family snuggle up warm while the winter weather continues. But they are currently running low. If you have preloved blankets that have been tucked away in the hot water cupboard, wardrobe, or spare room, this might be the perfect opportunity to give them another lease of life!

Singing Santa
Hi, I'm after one of the above which also moves whilst singing. Been to The Warehouse and a couple of $2 type shops but unable to find one. Does anyone else have any ideas on where I might find one please?
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
