Under their instructions, this is now available for some one in need of a washing machine, hence why it is free to pick up only. It does not come with any water inlet hoses. It only has 3 water levels. It would be preferrable to know the reason why it should be given to you so that I am able to contact the Trade me bidder & let them know where it has gone to & why. So we wish everyone the best and lets see where this takes us.

Here is the write up from trade me:
Great little machine. Was bought as the 10kg we owned ended working.
This machine has only 3 water levels & not the other selectable levels.
Clean & ready for next person as I have now bought a front loader now this is surplus to needs. Does not come with water inlet hoses.
This is pick up only on the weekend from Te Kohanga Tuakau
The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

“Our rivers and streams are alive with stories, told not in words, but in the drift of mayfly nymphs, the case-building craft of caddisflies, and the quiet persistence of snails and worms. These macroinvertebrates, small yet vital, are the heartbeat of freshwater ecosystems, their presence revealing the health of the waters we all depend on.
Join Chloe as she blends science and art to explore these hidden worlds. Through fieldwork, microscopy, and creative interpretation, she will share how counting bugs can help protect our waterways, and how beauty can be found in even the smallest of lives.”

Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealand’s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

St Francis of Assisi lived from 1181 to 1226 in Italy and is known as the patron saint of animals, the environment, Italy, merchants and stowaways. Francis was born into the privileged life of a nobleman, but eventually worldly desires no longer satisfied him. He wanted a simpler life with his love for poverty, nature and simplicity. Eventually, he founded the religious order of Franciscans, whose brothers preached the Gospel, made poverty holy, and worked hard to bring the word of God to a world that desperately needed it. He is known as the first person to receive the stigmata.
