When the weather gets warmer, it's like Easter surprise everyday however! Who wants them or know anyone who may want pets? The last round we had to sell away our last troop, some kind lady got them and bought them a xylophone to play with. Isn't that an idea?! $100 please, danke! Whatever food is left, you will get that too.

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the We Say You Say column of your local paper.

After out MASSIVE SALE last time out, we're going for '300'.
Don't want to miss out? Go to our website for pre-ordering!!
Order before the cut off for this Saturday's doughnut fest (8pm on Friday).
Not tried our doughnuts before? We use a sourdough starter base and a slow fermentation for maximum flavour profile, chewy but yet soft texture, not overly sweet fillings, and finished with home-made frostings, nothing shop bought!!

"A great day for getting out and about, so it was off to Silverstream armed with my hiking boots as I knew the track would be really muddy! I couldn't clap eyes on any kingfishers today but there was plenty of other birdlife, and most of them seemed to be performing ablutions including a fantail (unfortunately he was well hidden when he was bathing so the photo isn't very good!)."
