Very good condition but needs a tune up. Must be picked up (Avonhead area) by this Thursday due to new owner taking occupancy of the house.

Poll: Have you ever challenged a parking ticket?

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

THANKS!

Thanks you for your offers.
What a lovely neighbourhood!

Chris Wooddin was the first to respond and arrived less than an hour later.

He stayed longer than I asked for, helped me remove the debris to a suitable drying location, and even helped me put a sign on the fence that I had volunteered to put up for the not-for-profit Halswell Drama Group's upcoming show.

Chris went above and beyond and I can highly recommend his services for any handy work you require.

Thanks Chris, Love Kim xxx

Hi All,

Do any of my lovely neighbours have a hedge trimmer, maybe a small chainsaw, and some free time (today, she says hopefully!) to help with my hedge.

I haven’t measured, but it’s probably less that 5 metres across - I have a ladder and extension cords here if that helps. I've done most of the cut back manually on the footpath side, so its mainly the top and this side.
It should take an hour or less, and I'll take care of the clean up.

And would $50 or a dozen RTD’s be appropriate?
Or I am happy to swap for a healing (I am a certified Master Healer).

I’d like to keep it in check for the look, and to prevent loss of light and access on the footpath.

Love Kim xxx
