Graham from Owhata

Hi there Owhata neighbours. Just letting you know that I have formed a 'connect group'. The intention of this group is to be able to connect with those in my neighbourhood in a, as maori would say 'kanohi ki te kanohi' or face to face in the flesh forum. Call it a meeting of neighbours discussing things like news, current events and also asking for and offering advice about the issues of life. The group has been going for over a month and it has been really special. I am a born again Christian and I offer up my bible based views into the discussion. So as you can imagine, the discussion involving Israel Folaus comments recently was eventful to say the least. And the group is continually growing too with a bunch of really awesome people. So come along to 30 Burton Place, Owhata tonight at 7pm. Please bring a plate for potluck afterwards. My name is Graham 0275119366
PS : The ages of those attending are so varied. Bar the kids (for there are a few) the youngest attending is 18 through to our oldest 70)

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
