WHAT A GREAT GIRLS DAY OUT....
We still have some tickets for the Habitat for Humanity Op Shop tour on Saturday 5th August. Bookabus are chauffeur driving 30 ladies between 3 of our stores - Ormiston Rd, Panmure and Pukekohe stopping enroute for lunch at Cafe Palazzo in Karaka which includes a glass of wine/coffee or tea. Your guide for the day Marilyn, our Panmure Restore Manager and interior designer, will give you some great tips on how to buy great quality goods for less, how to design a room and, along with Restore Pukekohe's very own Noreen, teach you about antiques. If you are currently redecorating a room bring your paint and fabric samples and let us show you how to take a room from drab to fab. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to the world of op shopping this is a great opportunity to meet new friends and learn a skill that will save you money. The tour starts at 9am from our Ormiston store - 8 Ormiston Road, East Tamaki and returns at 4pm. We look forward to introducing you to our Aladdins caves that are Habitat Restore! For further information phone Debbie on 022 1239536. Spaces are limited so book TODAY.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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)
.
