How much do flash jandals cost now?

Jonathan Milne Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Jandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop. When the sun is blazing down, the rubber shoe can take you from the morning stroll to get a paper, the beach, and then on to a bar. But how pricey are these items getting - what did you pay back in the day, and what's the most expensive one you've … View moreJandals. The good old Kiwi flip flop.

Heya,
Are you in the need for a babysitter for your children these holidays? Well today is your lucky day.

My name is Jack and for the past year and a half I worked at the YMCA Crofton Downs centre. Although enjoying the job throughout my time there, I had to leave as I am moving for university.

Going off that, I have the mentioned experience working with kids at YMCA but as well as that I have a previous 2 years babysitting children both during the holiday season and the occasional night.

References can be provided if wanted.

Feel free to message me on neighbourly for more information or anything or text me on 022 192 6324!

Make your 2019 New Years resolution to be prepared!

In the event of a major earthquake, the pipes underground that bring drinking water to, and take wastewater from your home, could be broken.

This means you will be relying on the stored water you have at home for at least the first seven days following an earthquake. And you'll need a plan for the safe disposal of your wastewater.

Kia ora koutou,
My wife, Alexa, and I are currently house sitting in Khandallah and we are looking for house sits in the surrounding area from 2 February through May, 2019.
So far this year we have house sat and pet minded at eight different addresses in Khandallah and Ngaio, we have been Police vetted by the House Sitting Company, and we have very content house owners to call upon should you require references.
We love pets (cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, you name it!) and have both had pets growing up, so we know how to look after them - even the toughest.
So, if you require someone to mind your beloved pets or look after your place then get in touch.
Contact me on 0272381074 or email brettjeffreyreid@gmail.com
Don't hesitate to drop us a line. We'd love to meet you to discuss your house sit. :)
