Crafts

Roimata from Gisborne District

Hi G-neighbors,
I'm after some newspaper for a project I'm working on. I'll gladly come and collect. I'll even take magazines but prefer newspaper.
Also after the big red Watties Tomato Sauce bottles. I think they are 2litre. Along with any clear 2.2litre coke/Fanta bottles.

Also after the big red Watties Tomato Sauce bottles. I think they are 2litre. Along with any clear 2.2litre coke/Fanta bottles.
These are all for the same project I'm working on.
I did try the recycling place but once gone in no one can take anything out. Sad, but I do understand.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Have a great day

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
