Thank you for using Neighbourly
I am wanting to know if anyone collects or knows of anyone who does. I have an excellent collection of beautiful dolls from most countries around the world! These were mostly purchased during the 1960/2000 era. They are in the national costume of their country.
Hey Neighbours!
Is your Mobile plan one of the many Winter bills piling up? It might be time to review it so you can relax..even just a smidge?! Compare all the mobile plans and providers on Mobile Compare and find a plan that lets you stay connected without overpaying.
The leader of the National Party has announced a plan to ban cellphones from all classrooms to minimize distractions for students. The Labour party has commented that this is commonplace already and is a decision best left for individual schools. Do you think a ban should be enforced?
I have s small outboard motor in Gisborne that I need to shift to Carterton. Is there anyone coming back from there over next month or so? Happy to contribute to costs.

A warm welcome awaits you at our local Rebus club. Aimed at retirees, we have a range of activities throughout the year to help you forge new friendships in your senior years. We have a monthly get-together focused on meeting and getting to know new people within the club, with time also allocated to a variety of speakers from within the club ("mini speakers") and external guest speakers. The speakers are usually both interesting and informative and frequently lead to questions and lively discussion. Free morning tea is provided.
Throughout the year we have a number of club outings and we frequently carpool. This is also an opportunity to get to know new people. Passengers are asked to contribute $5 towards car expenses. A Christmas lunch partially subsidised by the club is an popular and enjoyable annual feature.
When: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month
Where: Tararua Club, Tararua Street, Pahiatua
Subscription: $25 per year
Contact: Liz Barnes (President) 027 3388932 rebus.nz/pahiatua
Come along - and bring a friend!

Let me know if you have something tucked away somewhere as I would love to come… View moreHi Neighbours - I'm looking to buy an old wooden ironing board if anyone has one tucked away in a shed or storage somewhere.
