Hi neighbours,

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.

Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

Feijoa scooped and frozen. Price is $16 per Kg.
Available in Half. One. Two and Three Kg snap lock bags. As well as some 1kg plastic containers. (In total we still have over 100Kgs)
It takes approx. 2.3 Kgs of fruit off the tree to produce 1 kg of scooped fruit. So in effect $16 per kg of frozen equals less that $7 per Kg for the actual fruit.

The fruit is not registered organic but is totally spray free. All processing carried out in spotless and hygienic surrounds by myself and my wife, both of us having attended food hygiene courses.

We live in Tauranga and do not want to ship small amounts of frozen fruit nationwide. However, we travel quite frequently to Auckland, Rotorua, Hamilton areas and could possibly bring fruit through.

We are happy to deliver around Tauranga, or fruit to be picked up as long as prior arrangements are made. Call us on 0274964683

Price: $16

This book and process has been around for many years and still it is just absolutely amazing to what can happen when you are going on "The Journey".


What is “The Journey” ? Have you ever heard about this book or process? it is worth reading about it at least, fascinating process to do even more so.
“The Journey” is a way of helping to heal your life and set yourself free from the results of thought patterns that have been causing stress, tension, pain or dis-ease. These thought patterns will have been created from a past experiences and the memories of them still held in the body and affecting everyday life.

After being diagnosed with a football-sized tumour, experiencing her own personal journey of healing which led to a complete healing, Brandon Bays writes her story in a book named, “The Journey.” I highly recommend this book as a resource for people who wish to experience “The Journey Process”.

Journey sessions can be deeply transformative and have set thousands of people free from lifelong emotional and physical blocks. It can guide a person directly to the root cause of longstanding difficulties and then give them the tools to heal it completely. The changes that result in the mind and the body produce lasting results.

Journey sessions have the potential to powerfully heal and transform particular areas of your life, e.g. physical health, relationships, grief and trauma etc.

A journey session is guided by your own body wisdom and will allow you to let go of what you are ready to let go of. As most of us require healing in many different aspects of our lives and healing may be done in layers to protect the body and mind, it may require a series of sessions to achieve it.
Healing the body and mind … It all starts with a decision … Your decision

A decision that recognises that something in your life needs to be healed. It might be that something needs to change, something needs to be different or something needs to improve. Once you have made the decision to heal, I am here to support it by introducing you to Transformational Emotional and Cellular Level Healing in the Mind and Body (the experience of it). It is done by transforming the informational content in your body and mind.

My involvement is of the nature of guide, coach, facilitator, supporter and teacher and it is in this function I specialise in. I do my best to create a safe and supportive environment to support you.
No words can really describe how it works.
The only way for you to really get to know it … is in the experience itself.

This book with the front cover below can be purchased from Amazon.com and in most major book stores and is often available at public libraries. I suggest to everyone to get a copy from themselves.

If you curious and like to know more about how "The Journey" can change your life I offer for next few days a free of charge talk on the phone or maybe a 1/2 hour visit with me to help explain it all and to find out what is your biggest challenge for you to overcome at the moment, e.g. grief, anxiety, stress, depression, physical illness. So call now 020 41741215 to say hello and I am presently in Bethlehem, Tauranga. Looking forward to connect with you, Peter

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Mould and mildew on fabrics

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

Mould and mildew on curtains and upholstery is unsightly, unhealthy, gives off a musty smell and has the potential to stain or eat into fabric. It’s a greedy little fungus that likes to feed on the dust or dirt on your fabrics, or even on the fabrics itself.


Organic fibres are gourmet fare for mildew. This includes animal (protein) fibres such as wool or silk, or plant (cellulose) fibres like cotton, linen or rayon – although man-made fibres are not immune either; all it takes is some dust to gather in the folds of your curtains or creases in your couch, and mildew quickly moves in. Areas near the kitchen are particularly at risk – cooking grease released into the air settles on your soft furnishings, attracting damp and dust, and providing mildew with a tasty snack.


When choosing fabric for your home, you can select a type that resists mildew better than others, such as polyester or viscose. If you love the natural look, there’s no need to give it up – modern blends of man-made fibres can be woven to mimic the look and feel of natural fabric. We offer sheers such as Sierra which are 100% polyester but look like linen, or faux silk like Majestic Silk.

Mildew loves something easy to stick to – a smooth, shiny fabric like Xavier is harder for it to establish itself on, and a good choice if you find that mildew is a problem in your home. You could also try a water repellent fabric such as our upholstery fabrics Sebastian and Palazzo. These are less likely to get damp and encourage mildew growth.

Prevention is the best cure.
