Plastic pallets

David from Parua Bay / Whangarei Heads

I would like to obtain 4 of the large plastic pallets that are around now and again. If anyone knows of a source please leave a message. These are the same size as the ubiquitous wooden pallets. I want them for a muddy building site.

Adding a lotion before bed creates softer, more hydrated, and better-looking skin the next day. It also helps seal in moisture and repairs the skin barrier that's compromised by dry air and harsh cleansers.

Applying moisturizer before bed allows three things to happen:
1. Rest for your face
2. Repair from the activities you do throughout the day
3. Minimize the effects of ageing

A nighttime moisturizing lotion with retinoids is an excellent choice for almost any age. Retinoids clear the pores, preventing acne from growing and helping to heal persistent acne problems as well.

Reyburn Market Stalls

A chance to make some Christmas money and get yourself known.

Reyburn House is offering members and non-members the chance to have a market stall in the grounds of this beautiful building with the backdrop of roses and river.

The events will take place on Saturday 22nd October, 3rd December and 17th of December.

Stalls for each date will be $25 for members and $35 for non-members. We provide the space and you provide the rest. You will be in charge of your own sales unless you want to put them through Reyburn and therefore give the usual 25% commission to the NSA. Not many people carry change anymore. If you do not have your own eftpos then one can be hired from Ecosse 43B Herekino Street. They are prepared to rent them at $60 a day for stall holders. If you already have a merchant number then there is no rush. If you don’t then it will be the first 8 people through the door!

If you or your friends are interested, then please let me know as soon as possible and I can send you a form. wendy@reyburnhouse.co.nz . First come first serve with allocation of your stalls position.

With the 75+ population projected to double in 20 years’ time, it’s more important than ever to choose a retirement village that is equipped to support you when you’re fully independent as well as if you need care.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.
