Free Foldup Washing Line
We recently took out the fold-up washing line in the photo. It works perfectly, with two 'settings'. You can use half the line or all of it. The only issue is that we had to cut it off about 5 cm under the ground, where it entered the concrete footing. This means the legs are not the full height and why we are giving it away instead of selling it. All you would need to do is extend the legs with some pipe, which can go into the new footings. Pick up from Otumoetai. You can either take it apart or it will need a truck or perhaps a roof rack.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
