New shop in Hornby - 2nd Hand Rose
Today on my travels round Hornby, I met the lovely Helen in her brand new shop 2nd Hand Rose, a vintage/secondhand shop on Main South Rd, near the bookshop, Pizza Hut etc (across from Pak n Save and down the road a bit...down from Dressmart).
It's a fabulous day for shopping so why not pop in and say hi and welcome!
There's also a big $1 sale going on at the opshop by the library on Goulding Ave (ends today), you've got the big Sallies store not far from there, plus don't forget there's the secondhand bookshop (next to 2nd hand rose) and there's Save Mart too , heaps of bargains to be had all around! :)
Happy Friday, everyone!
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)
.
