Earlier in the year there was much excitement when a house was delivered to the big school! A whole house!! Everyone had a look and there was lots of discussion about how the house got on the truck, where the truck had come from and how strong it must be to lift a whole house!
Do you want your little ones to be part of what's going on at Seven Stars? Waea Mai! We'd love to hear from you.

This fridge freezer has been in storage a while. Last we checked (quite some time ago) the motor ran but it didn’t keep much cold (unless you throw in a bucket of ice on top)…. I’m guessing it needs more gas. Could suite a beer fridge if you get it going again or parts if required.

The cot has an adjustable height to help save your back, and the mattress has only been used with a mattress protector so is in near new condition.
The side can be raised or lowered to allow ease of use and to help prevent escape attempts when the kiddie gets a little bigger.
The stickers are a byproduct of this being a happy home for a youngster, but could easily be scraped off if a new personal touch is required.

Neighbourly is a wonderful site to meet new people, get to know more about our neighbourhoods, up and coming events etc ... and not forgetting we can buy/sell or even give items away for free.
I (personally) think that a bit of courtesy, being respectful and even considerate of others feelings and time is needed when dealing with the buy/sell and free section.
If you are going to respond to a post wanting to purchase or even pick up a free item that you are interested in, please ask yourself, "Am I really going to turn up to pick it up or am I wasting their time?"
Please DON'T waste our time if you are not going to turn up.
The amount of time wasted waiting on people who repeatedly say that they will turn up and never do is surprisingly high.
If you are not going to be decent enough to honestly let us know that you aren't going to turn up or worse, ghost us, please don't bother asking for the item.
There are so many people who normally apply for the same item and all you are doing is making them wait.
To say that it's too far to drive when you can clearly see here on Neighbourly the area that anyone who posts lives in, beggars belief.
I cannot even begin to fathom how your time is more important than mine, especially if the item is FREE!
Will putting a price on it make it more enticing? I some how doubt it.
You will find that quite a few people will be very patient, understanding and fairly flexible with times and you may even get someone who is kind enough to drop off the item to you instead.
There have been quite a lot of times that people who have come to pick up items from me have left with so much more than they bargained for, especially when I'm giving away plants or plant clippings.
I in turn, have also been on the receiving end of someone's generosity.
We all get a lot of joy passing on something to you to make you happy and also to find a new home for the item listed, thus avoiding the dreaded tip or dumping as so many people tend to do.
So please, please be a bit more considerate of those people on here who have taken time out of their day to sell or give something away for free to you.
Rant over!😔
