I have a need for a used, but functioning desktop PC. Doesn't even need any drives, just a case & fan, CPU and motherboard.
Happy to collect mid-late December anywhere in Kapiti.

People are asked to stay safe and dry at home and not to venture out to look at the flooding. It’s dangerous and we need to keep the roads clear for emergency vehicles.
Our pipe networks are having to cope with a massive amount of extra water and may be struggling to cope, so remember to treat all floodwaters as potentially contaminated.
********* Update 5.50pm, 6 December*********
- Waterfall Road/Emerald Glen will remain closed overnight due to flooding and road surface scouring.
- Rimu Road will remain closed until the Wharemaku Stream drops.
- Kebbel Drive is open – Aston road cleared.
- Nikau Palm – Mobile Traffic lights will be in place overnight, down to one lane.
- Maungakotukutuku Road is open again but down to one lane, there are multiple small slips so please drive safely.
*********Update 5pm, 6 December*********
It has been a full-on day here in Kāpiti.
A huge amount of rain has fallen which caused streams and rivers to rise dramatically. We’ve had several pockets of localised flooding and a few landslides.
We’re preparing in case people need assistance overnight.
Our crews have been on the ground all day clearing drains and slips and checking in with our people.
As the rain continues to fall, please stay home if you can. Stay away from waterways; the heavy rain undermines riverbanks, and they can collapse without warning.
We’re on duty overnight. We’ll be keeping an eye on the district’s roads and infrastructure and we’re here to assist our community if needed.
You can pick up sandbags from outside the Council depot on Fytfield Place, Paraparaumu.
Phone 111 if a life is in danger. For other problems, phone Council on 0800 486 486.
*********Update 3.30pm, 6 December*********
Please be careful around waterways, the rivers are very full and fast-moving today, please keep a safe distance from the water's edge.
If you have any serious rain issues please call us or log a service request on our website 0800 486 486

This was sent to us by Breville as a replacement part for our food processor. It was the wrong item. What we wanted was an Adjustable Slice Disc Assembly. They sent us the correct part and told us not to bother to return the incorrect one. It seems a shame to throw it away if someone out there … View moreThis was sent to us by Breville as a replacement part for our food processor. It was the wrong item. What we wanted was an Adjustable Slice Disc Assembly. They sent us the correct part and told us not to bother to return the incorrect one. It seems a shame to throw it away if someone out there would like it.
We have no idea what Breville appliance it comes from but suspect that the pictures will make it obvious to a person who needs it.
Cookie time cookies are for sale today and tomorrow outside the Warehouse in Paraparaumu.
