Cat items for rescues update!

Amanda from Khandallah

Update on the cat food/items drive! I have received a lot of donations from very generous people, and I have been adding to it here and there. There is a lot to sort through and I want to match the items to the rescues who said they needed particular items. It's likely I'll be getting … View moreUpdate on the cat food/items drive! I have received a lot of donations from very generous people, and I have been adding to it here and there. There is a lot to sort through and I want to match the items to the rescues who said they needed particular items. It's likely I'll be getting touch with said rescues after Christmas, but before New Year's.

I am very happy and grateful about the response it got! I will do this again next year, but start sooner to hopefully collect more and to allow more rescues/ers to participate. :)

Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!

Lawn mowing

Margaret from Paparangi

Hi, I'm looking for someone to mow a smallish lawn and do a bit of weed-eating at the same time? Anyone out there wanting the chance to earn some extra cash? It's so close to Christmas now - perhaps between Christmas and New Year if possible?

The Hutt Valley has become the sixth region to achieve a full vaccination rate of 90 per cent.
Ministry of Health figures show the milestone was achieved on Monday, with the Hutt Valley District Health board joining the Auckland, Waitematā, Capital & Coast, Canterbury and Southern DHBs that have also reached the mark.
While the overall population in the valley has reached the Government target, Māori and Pasifika uptake is behind at 78 and 84 per cent, respectively. The proportion of partially vaccinated people in those populations are 89 per cent for Māori and 92 per cent for Pasifika.

Countdown bricks

Cecily from Grenada Village

I am missing a few of these, but also have a number of doubles, if anyone is keen to swap. Also, if anyone has the Countdown people, truck or car, I would love to buy them for my grandchildren.
