12 Foot pool

Tracee from Aranui

I have a 12 foot pool I'm wanted to sell. We are moving and have no room for it at the new place. It is sitting in the garage collecting dust. It has not been cleaned and one of the legs is bent, but it shouldn't effect the use of the pool to much. As is where is. Cost me $500. $200 ono.

Price: $200

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Fuel Tax

Gareth from Burwood

Saw this in Stuff....
Appears both CCC & ECAN want a fuel tax for christchurch, so looks like we will get hit twice... that means up to 20 cents per litre plus GST.
To say this makes me angry is an understatement!
