Hi there,

Today I needed to purchase a sympathy card and I was looking for one that was 'just right'.
As a funeral officiant, I am probably a bit senstive to the wording that is found in cards and like many of you, I am sure, I didn't want to get one that would be 'not right or make it worse' - if that makes sense.
I wandered into Whitcoulls and wondered if I would have any joy finding what I was after.
A lovely young assistant came and asked me if she could help me. I told her what I needed and explained the reason I needed something 'just right'. She showed me where the sympathy cards were. Then she actually stayed with me and helped me look through the large variety of cards available. She looked and looked. I looked and looked and then a few we showed to each other to see if they were 'right'. I had three options in my hand and we discussed the pros and cons of each one. I was so thankful she was kind enough to stay with me until I had some good options. I then headed to the counter where the next lovley assistant took my money and spoke really nicely to me. She was also helpful.
Anyway, I know it was a card and not a car or a house, but I was so thankful for their compassion, kindness and courtesy and would like to recommend Whitcoulls in Hastings if you need a sympathy card.
I told her thank you as I left and she said that sometimes if people are wanting a more traditional card, and they can't find what they need at Whitcoulls she suggests they go to Manna.
That impressed me all the more - shops helping customers by recommending other stores - that is what will help all the stores to keep their doors open. Made me laugh as one day, I asked in Pascoes for a pen to engrave. Pascoes sent me across to Whitcoulls!
So thumbs up today from me for:
*Whitcoulls in Hastings - 228 Heretaunga Street West
* Pascoes
* Manna
Kind regards
and Happy Weekend to you all

Hi Neighbours. Just wondering if anyone had any old type stereo amplifiers (going/not going) layng around in the shed/cupboard, that we could use for training.

Hi
We are looking for any spare spoked bike wheels you have to use for decorations.
A new law in Wales says schools are required to have gender-neutral uniforms.
This means that while uniforms can include both skirts and pants, schools can't label these as "girls" or "boys" items.
Should NZ follow suit?

The brown marmorated stink bug is a pest that can infest your home in the thousands, stinks when crushed, and is almost impossible to get rid of. It is also a major threat to our fruit and vegetable industries.
It’s not in New Zealand yet and we want to keep it that way. It hibernates inside … View moreThe brown marmorated stink bug is a pest that can infest your home in the thousands, stinks when crushed, and is almost impossible to get rid of.

Hi, does anyone have an old wooden garden gate that they no longer use - or have recently upgraded? Im wanting to put a gate at my letterbox and have been looking on Trademe for some time. Just the freight cost would be $95 !
Maybe there is someone that could build me a gate to size?

Prefer wood...but if you have an old wrought iron one i might take a look. Happy to pay the value.
Thanks. Lara

This is an antique very historic bedside table. I am guessing possibly from the 1800s, but at least the early 1900s. The top lifts up and you see the ceramic lid for the commode. Lift that up and you see the ceramic commode. There aren't many of these around anymore. Three pictures … View moreThis is an antique very historic bedside table.

There aren't many of these around anymore. Three pictures attached, the first as the table, then with the wooden lid up where you can see the ceramic lid and then the inside where the ceramic pot is sitting. 47 cm tall, 45 cm wide and 40 cm deep. Located in Napier South.
