Know any local grandies looking to take a family under their wing? Then message today!

Here at Grandfriends we bring together families and grandies in the hope of forging new familial connections. And boy is this a great family seeking the best grandie. Jo, Tim and their son Max (5) are active and creative, going orienteering every fortnight. They would love for someone to join them! However, if that's not your favourite they are also creative; Jo likes op shopping and is interested in music, and Max is into art and building with wood. Bonus, they have a cat called Fuji. 🐱🧶
As a comment from Jo herself: "I would personally love to connect with a family/Grandie who loves playing musical instruments. This would be a real treat, and a great way to connect! If not music, then someone who loves getting creative in some form, whether it be through art, clay, food creations, beads, or whatever else, it doesn't matter really 😉"
If something you would like to be part of please get in touch quoting reference number 4956 Joanna.

To sign up or for more information visit our website www.grandfriends.nz...

Please note that this is an entirely volunteer run organisation.

FREE Fridge Freezer Westinghouse 380 Litres
Model BJ385

I don't know how old is, but I guess several years.

It has issues with the thermostat or something like that, as it froze the vegetables in the fridge part, but for normal things works well. The freezer works as expected. Also, it makes some noises sometimes, but nothing too loud, it is the thing that you can expect from an old fridge.

The containers in the freezer have some cracked parts (see photos).

Only pick up in Karori.

If you need any more details just let me know.
