Last Monday the leading story on our Stuff website was Whittaker's revival of the toffee milk chocolate bar.
This had us asking what sweet treats people would like to see returned next and what prized New Zealand lollies may have their production shifted overseas?

My family's favourite is the chocolate fish.
At Christmas and birthdays packets of the pink marshmallow shaped sea creatures appear for dessert, but also a variety of family challenges. These include holding the chocolate fish between the top lip and nose, like a melting moustache.
It was also the prize for player of the day during my school hockey days. If the versatile and much loved fish disappeared we would be crushed.
After much consideration I think the discontinued lolly I would like to see returned is pink Sparkles.
My father has thrown his weight behind the sickly sweet Dream white chocolate creme eggs which tasted like tinned condensed milk.
What would you like to see returned? Let us know below...
Made out of galvanised steel, this climbing frame looks as new as the day we bought it. The horizontal bar isn't fixed so you can move it as you please. It gave our girls and their friends hours of fun and exercise. We can possibly deliver it in the Napier area. Please ring Linda 0211744548

How does it work?
Red Cross Journey is all about walking in someone else’s shoes. Choose a journey to follow, clock 10,000 steps each day between 8 May and 8 June and get people to sponsor you.
Along the way, you’ll receive updates marking your milestones and sharing more about your chosen journey.
By taking part and fundraising, you’ll be helping Red Cross do good things across New Zealand and around the world.
Which journey will you take?
Choose to walk Disaster Welfare and Support Team volunteer Kath’s journey and cover 240km during the month – that’s about 10,000 steps a day – or get a team together and follow the Tamim family's route to a safer life, covering 1,000km.
Registrations are now open. Sign up and make every step count!
Right across New Zealand, local groups are doing a whole lot of good in their hoods. To help, Z is once again sharing over one million dollars. Remember to vote at Z this month and make a difference in your neighbourhood.

Anyway our Friday morning group is having a demo of all of the current/new rawleighs products. If anyone is keen to pop along and have a cup of tea with us we'd love to have you and then you can listen and learn about the products too. No we're not making money out of this we just have a large group who's interested.
So we'll be at the hall at the rear of St Lukes on Te Mata road from around 9.45 this coming Friday the 28th of April and would love to see you.

Most of all though, we are keen to hear from our neighbours about anything that is topical...what could/should we do more or less of...what gaps are there in our communities for our under 5's & their families?
