Unwanted medals

Giulia from Newtown

Hello neighbours,

I have a few medals that I no longer want, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what to do with them apart from recycling them/where to donate them/or if anybody wants them (after lockdown)?
Cheers and hope everyone is well and safe!

Message us photos if you do it and you'll make us smile too. 😊We'd love to see your artistry.

With the evenings getting cooler, we have had a number of enquiries regarding chimney cleaning during the Level 4 Covid 19 Lockdown. Fire and Emergency NZ has received an update regarding chimney sweepers being essential service for health and safety reasons.

Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.

If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?

If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!

I know many may wish to observe Anzac Day at 6am at your letterboxes. I wanted to let you know that I will also be playing the Last Post at 10am from our deck and another neighbour, Commander Roger Havell RNZNVR will be reciting the Ode to Remembrance. We're both very aware that Level 4 restrictions remain in place. But if you wanted to be at your letterbox or nearby (maintaining the two metre distancing and remembering we must avoid anything that constitutes a gathering) it would be a pleasure to share this with you. Some of you may have heard me playing earlier this week. I am in the NZSO and was also recording a version for them. Kia Kaha.

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.
