Two bits have gone to lovely families - just a couple of pieces left now, 1.8x5m
3.8x4.2m
Lightly worn light grey/purple tinge (?)
My cat did scratch the 3.8x4.2m a bit along one edge but nothing a couch wouldn't cover 😁😁😁
(Donation to foodbank would be awesome if possible)

commentator - a Kiwi woman.
NZ were penalised for a breakdown error in playing the USA and the Englishman said NZ had been winning matches in the world series by forcing referees to favour their illegal tactics.
The NZ woman was upset at these remarks and burbled out some defence of the NZ team.
NZ went on to thrash the USA.
NZ has dominated the international series in 2023 winning 5 tournaments with the other 5 each won by a different team apart from Argentina.
Prior to London the AB 7s has already been crowned series champs.
Great Britain were well out of contention and when NZ played them in the London event last night were a well beaten side.
It will be renarkable if this commentator will be allowed to further commentate on fixtures involving NZ .

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.
