Baby Cot or bassinet mattress Free of Charge

Robert from Bryndwr

I have one only second hand clean and dry babies bassinet mattress Free of Charge. It has had no visible 'wet spots' or stains. It has a wire sprung construction.

Wire spring mattresses are much cooler and less sweaty in the summer months when compared to the completely foam plastic upholstered versions. The upper layers are foam plastic.

This is a freebie donation only IF you have a current Community Services Card or a Gold Card or, better, still, a real live little one with you to show for it. You CAN take the little one back home again... (LOL).

 The measurements are: about 130 cm x 70cm.

Collection point is in Bryndwr Rd near the corner of Ilam Rd.

Email: zl2rob at xtra.co.nz (change the 'at' to an @ as we needed to avoid spammers and automatic email spamming robots online by not giving them a complete email address.
Regards, Robert.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
