How many of you have heard of Arapawa Island? If you've got 10 friends or family (remember those social distancing rules), it's only $35 a night for this island escape.

But because of COVID-19 our important May 2020 Street Appeal can’t take place.
No matter what, our work at Mary Potter Hospice carries on, day and night, week in and week out. Our care is always there, through every crisis and emergency.
Please help Mary Potter Hospice continue to provide its free-of-charge hospice care to people with a life-limiting illness in Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti.
Please help us, help others and give generously this Annual Appeal .

This old aluminium outdoor table has been used for a bench to cut plaster board sheets on and paint timber and various other things on. It is very light to handle but also reasonably strong.

It is very light to handle but also reasonably strong. I have found it VERY handy but we are selling our house and have no use for it. It does have a 10mm piece of safety glass that is 30mm short one end and I've also made a ply timber top infill that has some paint on it but could easily be sanded and repainted. It fit perfectly. Thinking $35 as I don't expect it is worth much but make me an offer as I don't want to throw it out. O22 399 0742

Safety features include an automatic chain brake that will engage in the event of kickback and bucking spikes which assist with the cutting action and help reduce the possibility of kickback.
Automatic chain oiling keeps both the bar and chain lubricated, this reduces the level of friction and helps prolong the life of these components.
Comes with spare chain and near 1ltr chain oil. In good condition, asking $65. Ph or message - 022 399 0742

Car Stereo Player in very good condition except the radio part just stopped working. The CD part works fine. Comes with instructions and remote. Not that old but I replaced it as I was selling the car.
Could be a project for someone who loves tinkering with electronics. Was told it was fixable.
