St John's Charity shopš
Does anyone know what has happened to the St John's Charity shop that was located in Henderson, which now sits completely vacant?
I've checked on their website and the only St John shops that are now open are the followinig: Browns Bay, Howick, Manukau, Onehunga, Papakura & Wairau Park - NONE OUT WEST!
I wonder if was because the actual customers buying had dropped dramitically of the last 12 months or so.
If it is the reason, I'm not surprised as they had priced so many of their items close to retail prices as so many other second hand places seem to be doing now; Savemart is a perfect example of a second hand place doing this dreaful practice.
I know most of them are for charity and want money for their (mostly) worthy causes, but surely selling second (sometimes third or fourth) hand goods, retail pricing doesn't occur, unless it's an antique shop of course.

Donāt Wash Your Hair In The Shower
Itās so good to finally get a āHealth Warningā that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with itā¦ a warning to us all!ā
I donāt know why I didnāt figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: āFor Extra Body & Volumeā
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: āDissolves Fatā that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solvedā
