Thanks!
I just wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who has welcomed me, shared (so SO many!) things so generously with me / traded with me, etc since I started using this site a couple of months ago.
Thanks to many of you - I have started to get my garden back on track, sold eggs, purchased additional furniture and have a new aviary "in the wings" (hah) with all the treasure you've donated.
It's been awesome and I have to say - although originally unsure of the value of the site - I am 100% a fan.
Happy Holidays / Safe travels etc to you all and here's to a very neighbourly new year :)

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)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
