Need a good Plumber? We found a GREAT one!

Stephen from Glen Eden

Neighbourly members often post requests looking for good tradespeople.

I have just posted this review on the "No Cowboys" website for a company called Lawson Plumbing in West Auckland, and thought I would share it with my neighbours as well.

"My family have been clients of Lawson Plumbing for many years, after moving into the West Auckland area in 2009.

Mark has been our "go-to" plumber for leaks, pipes, drainage, and a recent hot water cylinder (he was on site less than 60 minutes after the cylinder was discovered to be leaking).

There comes a time when you have such trust in a tradesman, that you don't even bother "getting three quotes" because the peace of mind that this trust brings outweighs the potential for a few extra dollars on a bill (& Marks charges are always very reasonable anyway).

Such is our faith in Mark Lawson Plumbing - we would highly recommend Mark to anyone considering hiring a Plumber".

Lawson Plumbing may be reached on (027) 694-6913.

The gift of giving …?

Markus from Green Bay

The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.

“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

🤔

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
