“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

Does anyone have any "Mon Tricot Stitch Dictionary" books for knitting and crochet that they would be willing to sell me. It's a soft cover book that has been around for years. I have found some on Amazon but they won't ship to NZ.

Hi there! My name is EJ and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, from Jack Russel to Great Dane! I'm offering dog walking services for $20 for an hour's walk, or $15 if you want to set up regular walks (at least twice a week).

I'll take your dog to the park or beach, give them plenty of exercise (off-lead as long as they have good recall), play fetch or tug with them if that's what they're into, and generally make a big fuss of them. We can also practise commands if they're learning. They'll get exercise, attention, mental stimulation, and the chance to socialise with other dogs (though if you want to organise solo walks, we can discuss that option).

If you're dog's stuck at home while you're at work, or you've just got too much going on to give them all the exercise they need, message me and let's treat your dog to a day out.
