Firewood

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

I know it’s only spring, weird though the weather may be lately, but have you thought about next year? Probably not.

I know it’s only spring, weird though the weather may be lately, but have you thought about next year? Probably not.

So, let me tell you a secret. Now is the time to order your firewood delivery.

I’ve just been down to Tumu to pick up a boot load, just in case. They have so much wood at the moment that if you ordered it now you’d get it delivered well in advance of needing it, and long before demand forces the price up.

$140 for a cord delivered or 2 cord for $260. And if you get it now, you will know it will be dry for winter.

You can also buy by the boot/trailer/horse float/ute if you have a tow bar, or by the truck load.

So, give it a thought and give them a call, now, to save ending up like so many this past winter, myself included.

To call Tumu 06 873 0990
or email bins&pallets@tumu.co.nz (copy and paste the link. Hyperlink isn’t working)
or, if you are old school, fax them on 06 873 0992

My rant for the day

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Is it just me, or is it bloody inconsiderate of bin companies to have their drivers emptying wheelie bins at 4.45am?!

Does that happen every week and I don't hear it, or was this morning special?

Is it just me, or is it bloody inconsiderate of bin companies to have their drivers emptying wheelie bins at 4.45am?!

Does that happen every week and I don't hear it, or was this morning special?

I could not believe it. I thought my shed door was banging in the wind and got up to walk across the wet grass, barefoot, in the dark, to check. No, the door was secure. Then, as I walked inside I heard it again, along with the rumble of a diesel engine.

What the h&^%!

I don't know about everyone else's, but my bin company says to have my bin out by 7 am. Who on earth empties wheelie bins in a residential area at 4 bloody 45 am? If anyone can tell me, I'll happily ring the company and complain. I get that the people have a job to do, but that's worse than the courier drivers who used to turn up and ring my doorbell at 5.15am.

Seriously, can they not see it is dark out and most people who don't have to get up that early, or who have/have not been kept awake most of the night with coughing kids, or babies, are STILL ASLEEP and would like to stay that way!

A little consideration would go a long way to making life more pleasant. We already have enough stopping, most of us, getting a decent nights sleep (snoring partners, coughing kids, domestic worries, finances, study, the future, the past etc), without rubbish collectors adding to the strain.

Or, is it just me?!

WHEN: Wednesday, November 22 at 7 PM - 8:30 PM
WHERE: Henderson Hall, Napier Boys High School, Chambers Street

Civil Defence invites everyone who lives or works in Marewa-Napier South to attend a community meeting to talk about our hazards that can cause an emergency. It is important we understand the potential impacts of those hazards and have thought about how we will look after each other and ourselves when this happens.

This community meeting is being organised by the Marewa-Napier South Community Resilience Planning Team; a group of local people collaborating with Civil Defence to enable us to look after ourselves before, during, and after an emergency.

Recent events highlight the need for us to be prepared. Please support this very important initiative - come along to the meeting and bring your friends and neighbours too.
