A pager? A walkie talkie? What do you think it is?
One thing we do know is it should not be flushed down the loo! These types of items cause blockages in the wastewater network. They can also cause blockages and damage to the pipes within your property boundary, which can cost you a lot in plumber bills to fix!
The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are the 3 P's:
-Pee
-Poo
-Paper (toilet paper that is)
Wet wipes (even 'flushable' ones), sanitary items, shampoo and conditioner bottles, diapers etc should be thrown in the rubbish bin, and phones/pagers should be taken out of back pockets before heading into the dunny.

I'm going to Fiji this year to create a "Living Memory" community photography project with people affected by cyclones and other affects from climate change. Do you have a digital camera that you could donate? Would need to be in good working order, have a working battery, and come with a charger and memory card. I can collect. For more information, or to even donate to the project financially, please go to the Givealittle page below. Vanka vaka levu (thank you!)

Symptoms include splotchy colourful marks, usually starting on your tamariki then quickly spreading to your toes... fingers... all limbs, and in some cases the face. ("Facial Playcentre Toe" is often not picked up for hours and hours until after you've been shopping and you're wondering why people have been looking at you weirdly all day). "Playcentre Toe" is very infectious, and there is no cure...once you have the Playcentre Bug, there's no looking back. Feel free to add pics of your own "Playcentre Toe" outbreaks. We encourage you to come along to your local Playcentre and get your splotches...before they get you. Paekākāriki centre is open Mon, Tues, Weds and Fri 9.15 - 11.45 Please spread this important health message to those you love! 😉
