It would be a huge help! Looking for tomorrow to come before Friday this week if possible, if so please let me what you'd charge . … View moreHi! I was wondering if I could find anybody that could put up christmas lights for me?

Wooden desk with two drawers and a steel frame going free. It just needs a coat of paint and a couple of screws to secure the top to the frame. I'm using as a laundry table at present. If you didn't want to paint, it would be good for a garage, or as a potting table.
Very comfy reading chair. Mahogany wood frame. Still good to sit in but if it had a new cushion cover it would be more in vogue. Too good to throw away. **SOLD*

Organisers of the ‘Take a Kid Trout Fishing Day’ at Winston’s Otaki lakes are expecting a big turn-out this year for the hugely popular event.
The free event, which will be held on Saturday, November 19, provides children with the opportunity to experience trout fishing in a safe environment under supervision from experienced volunteers.
Gregory du Bern says there is “a high chance of catching a beautiful trout which they can take home to eat”.
“Hundreds of hatchery-reared trout are released into the lake just ahead of the fish-out day. They are usually hungry and happy to oblige young anglers by jumping on the line. “Most participants will get to experience the excitement of catching a trout, and for many it will be their first fish. We hope it spurs them on to take up fishing which is a healthy outdoor pursuit that gets kids off screens.”
Members of the Kapiti Fly Fishing Club and the Horowhenua Fresh Water Angling Club organise and run the event with support from Wellington Fish & Game, Otaki Hunting and Fishing, Pub Charity, and NZ Community Trust.
The fish-out day is often oversubscribed so organisers are anticipating that the limited number of places available for this year will fill up quickly.
“Word has got out about how great this annual event is, so we’re expecting really strong interest again this year.”
Children between the ages of six and 16 from the Kapiti and Horowhenua area are invited. Each child will be allotted a 30-minute time session which is filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
