FOUND IPHONE IN ORAKIE

Paul from Meadowbank

Hello people, I have found a black iPhone but showing no SIM card.. The wallpaper picture is visible but cannot access, as the phone requires a pin.
If you have lost your phone and can tell me what the background picture is, then I’ll know it’s yours.

Handyman wanted

Paul from Saint Johns

Just finished painting a cedar house in Meadowbank and we need a handyman to come while the scaffold is still up to refix some loose weatherboards. Nails have pulled etc. might need screwing back down rather than banging the nails back in only to have them spring out again after a month.

Commercial black hangers

Joanna from Remuera

Clothing Shop closed down or new fit out? I wondered if anyone might have a bulk supply of strong secondhand black commercial clothes hangers at a low budget price for a charity shop. Ideally around 1000-1200 if possible but even 600 would help. Any help greatly appreciated
