Glass bottles of milk

There has been talk about bringing the glass milk bottles back.
I will kick off this debate about bringing them back.
Question if they brought the glass bottle back would you genuinely use the service, remember you have to be home to put your bottles out, you have to wash your bottles, there is the problem of theft if you put cash out. Which means you have to buy tokens from the milkman or dairy. Lots of against options for bringing them back. BUT the reasons for bringing them back. Recycling, no more plastic. Glass is better than plastic, more jobs for people delivering the milk. Fresh milk every day. Ok now for it.
I WILL SUPPORT THIS if they bring milk delivery in glass bottles back.
How many more are for or against it

Arm Chair

This morning I found a Arm Chair left out on our road frontage, who ever dumped the lounge chair on our front section It would be very neighbourly of you to come and remove it.

Our car does not have a tow bar and it will not fit in the boot. The point also why should we pay the dump fee just because you are to lazy to get rid of your own rubbish. We are on the Main North Road by the Belfast shops.

The Christchurch City Council wants all staff, including those in council-controlled companies, to be paid the living wage within three years. The living wage is currently $20.55 per hour. Is this a good plan?

Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Pharmacy’s closed.

Sue from Kaiapoi

I needed to grab something from a pharmacy today but decided to support locally instead of going into a Mall. Out of 3 pharmacy’s in Kaiapoi, not one was open in the afternoon. Very disappointed and will just have to use the malls. Could they not roster between them to at least have one … View moreI needed to grab something from a pharmacy today but decided to support locally instead of going into a Mall. Out of 3 pharmacy’s in Kaiapoi, not one was open in the afternoon. Very disappointed and will just have to use the malls. Could they not roster between them to at least have one available. For people working all week and things to attend to on Saturday mornings, it’s not very helpful.

Hi there,

I am looking for childcare for my three boys aged 12, 10 and 6 years old after school. They need to be picked up from two different schools, one is Chisnalwood and the other one in Merivale called Elmwood on Aikmans. This person needs to have a full license please. I will pay starting at 2.30pm when you would leave your house to pick the first one. I will need you to stay with them till 5.30pm when I get home from work . This is only at the moment for September starting 3rd September and onto 28th September. I need you Monday-Friday. The pay will be $18/hour. We do have a furry four legged puppy at home too, so it will not suit anyone who is scared or allergic to dogs.

You will need to help with a bit of homework and reading at home with them. Make sure they are changed and their lunch boxes put away and they have a small snack. You will need to know how to cut fruits for snacks:)

Please contact me at the earliest and come and see me and the boys at our home on Bottle lake drive. My phone number is 02722409999.

Thanks heaps,

Kusumit

Hi neighbours, plans to introduce a maximum wheel clamp removal fee of $100 have been announced. This comes after complaints against "predatory" clampers but an AA spokesman said the $100 fine was disproportionate for many parking offences. What do you think?

Under the proposed legislation, police will be given the power to fine individual clampers up to $1000 and a company up to $5000 for breaking the rules. These fines increased to $3000 and $15,000 respectively if the matter ended up in court. Read the full story here.

Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!
