Last Call - Christmas Day Lunch Invite for our beloved Elders ❤️🎅
Closing invites on Sunday 15th December.
Howdy Neighbours :-)
My tween daughter and I (Single mum) would like to invite an elderly person or 5 into our home to share a meal together. (LOL So far we have 10 of us attending).
We are well aware that there are many out there who spend this Special day alone. This year, you don't need to.
Last year, on Christmas Day, we invited our Neighbours over, and ended up with 15 of us here. It was a wonderful time.
This year, our family are having an early, and a late, get together.
In the past, we have volunteered at the City Mission Dinners.
This year, it's all about YOU!! Our elders ❤️
If you are an elder, or you know of an elderly person or couple, who will be spending their Christmas Day alone this year, please get in contact with us for a chat. We would love to hear from you.
Come to our home. Share in some joy and have a few laughs over a meal and bubbles (Sparkling Grape Juice/Lemonade).
It is good for my daughter to see these things happen, and for her to take part.
So, who out there knows who our next guest may be?
Have a great day Neighbours. Safe travels.
To those of us who have loved ones who have passed on and won't be with us this year ...... *So close, not matter how far ......"
Peace, Love and Light xx ❤️🎅
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.

Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
