De-cluttering, organising and downsizing service

Hello there, my name is Lesley. I have been working successfully in the area of de-cluttering, organising and downsizing for the last 8 years.

Hello there, my name is Lesley. I have been working successfully in the area of de-cluttering, organising and downsizing for the last 8 years.

I am looking for clients to trial a smart new weekly or fortnightly service working one on one with me. For this trial I am offering a lower hourly rate of $25.

I have taken down my website while I redesign my business - however there are plenty of very happy clients who will vouch for my excellent work.

I know it can be difficult inviting someone new into your home - especially if you feel overwhelmed by how your home is. But I am compassionate, understanding, and I never judge - ever. For most clients any awkwardness or embarrassment passes during the first few hours - to be replaced with relief.

I absolutely love helping and seeing the burden lifted.

Please do feel free to call or text me to discuss possibilities on 021 1769377. Or email lesleyk@slingshot.co.nz

Thank you - Lesley

What would you like to see happen to St Gerard's
The historic church has closed because of its earthquake-prone status. Its owners made the decision after the owners struggled to raise the $11 million to $13m needed to pay for strengthening work. Only $42,000 had been donated by July 2020.

"Nature abhors a vacuum. The old adage has seen the white-fronted terns/tara (Sterna striata) move onto the Petone Wharf as a convenient perching spot for hawking (terning?) for fish. Such sleek birds, they turn on a dime, their brilliant white feathers catching the sun as they dive like professionals into the briny.
The old wharf, stretching almost 400m out into harbour, was closed (although a few foolhardy humans ignore the signs and climb the fence) in January for six weeks (hah!) for “urgent” repairs after the earthquakes over the New Year caused it to slump a bit in the middle. To be fair, the piles are infested with marine worms turning the ancient trunks into so much Swiss cheese and the bolts holding it all together are rustier than my first car, so it wouldn’t have taken much. Having seen a cross-section of a pile, I’m surprised it hasn’t collapsed before now. I am looking forward to it reopening though, I miss being able to walk so far out into the harbour – it’s where all the good stuff happens."
