Hi Neighbours,
I have just e-mailed the council regarding some of the roads here in Palmy that needs work - please can you also send an email to them at info@pncc.govt.nz with the specific road and issue you are experiencing.

I have just e-mailed the council regarding some of the roads here in Palmy that needs work - please can you also send an email to them at info@pncc.govt.nz with the specific road and issue you are experiencing.
I feel ashamed of the condition of our roads here in Palmerston North and I feel that something needs to be done about it, we are a city with PROUD residents, PROUD of where we live.
It Will be great to see progress and change - not just patch up jobs...which ends up worst afterwards.
PS - roadworks should probably be done at night when there is little to no traffic
Looking for light shades... this type is made of firm wire and usually has a ring for the light fitting . I don't need to have the same shape, but smaller diameter would be good (shown are 30cm).
Once we could buy them from stores, not any more. I'd like to hear from you if you have … View moreLooking for light shades... this type is made of firm wire and usually has a ring for the light fitting . I don't need to have the same shape, but smaller diameter would be good (shown are 30cm).
Once we could buy them from stores, not any more. I'd like to hear from you if you have any available either by phone or email: lyninlevin@xtra.co.nz or 0274595913 - or even send a pic of one you may have.
Have you one or two lying around that have fabric on them? That's no problem as I can clean them up. "Free" is my choice though would consider small offer ..... can I take it/them off your hands?
Thanks for your time.
Lyn

As a fabric, it is able to emulate the extremely soft handle and subtle sheen of natural fibres, whilst being more cost effective to produce. Therefore, resulting in the continued popularity of viscose in fashion and soft furnishings.
Although viscose begins as a natural fibre, it is different from products like linen and cotton because it undergoes a manufacturing process. During this process, wood pulp is dissolved in alkali to make the solution called viscose, which is then squeezed through a nozzle or spinneret into an acid bath to create filaments called regenerated cellulose, and finally spun into yarn.
As with all natural fibres, viscose has a unique personality and requires special care. In this article we will discuss the characteristics of this versatile fabric, whether it is the right choice for your next project, and its unexpected enemy – H2O.
Characteristics of Viscose:
• Soft Handle
• Luxurious appearance and subtle natural lustre.
• Viscose yarn absorbs and holds dye well. Especially when piece dyed, a viscose product has the ability to reflect vibrant and bold colour.
• Can be engineered to resemble other natural fibres such as linen cotton and silk, while in most instances, can be more cost effective.
• Absorbent fibre and less durable when wet. We recommend that fabric qualities with a high percentage of viscose yarn are not washed or spot cleaned with water. Due to the absorbent nature of the yarn, spot cleaning can result in watermarks occurring.
• Dry Cleanable. In most cases we recommend a professional dry clean for compositions with a high amount of viscose.
• Low thermal retention. This characteristic mostly applies to the fashion apparel industry. Being a cellulose based fibre, it does not retain heat as well.
• As with all natural fibres, viscose can be susceptible to fading in direct sunlight due to the extreme UV conditions in Australasia. We recommend you are mindful of where natural fibres are situated in the home. In a drapery situation we always recommend a quality lining.
• For interior textiles, a fabric with a component of viscose yarn is extremely versatile and can be used in drapery, upholstery and accessory applications. We don’t typically recommend viscose fabrics to be used for bedding due to the fibre generally being dry clean only.
• A fabric that contains a viscose component can have the same fabric dye processes, finishes and printing applications as other natural fibres.

Just wondering if anyone has got a sewing machine somewhere around the house that they are not using & would like to sell.
My 12year old daughter is learning how to sew and would appreciate if she can get a cheaper/free sewing machine. Kindly message me if you've got one.Thanks.
