Edition 377 Monday 01/05/17
Hi,I reckon I am ok with most things and relatively hard to
upset however something has got me going close to home! Our neighbours announced
they intended to fell the 70 year plus Pohutukawa that sits on our
boundary!!Unbelieveably it seems the new Council laws allow them to do this
unless it is on our property!!We are currently busy attempting to prove this is
the case in an 11th hour rescue mission to save this magnificent
specimen!grrrrrrr
Fletcher
reckons his new big boy bunk beds are cool and took his introduction
to Anzac Day officialdom in his stride laying a wreath and supporting his Mum
in style (see pics).
With all the best intentions in the world we were not able to
mobilise in time to get to the dawn parade however the local ceremony turned
out just as good(funny how things work out for the best sometimes).
Something
funny happened when Barney and Rocko turned up at 48 again and Dad
didn’t even notice or mind when he found out!!!...maybe we will get our own
permanent Barney and Rocko soon??...............hmmmmm.
Whilst the extra days off have been great I am actually
looking forward to getting back to the normality of a 5 day week for a
change….and to hopefully get on top of the backlog!!
I hope you are going well and looking forward to a BIG week
ahead……Cheers Jonesey
The Hendersons reckon they may blockade our tree to prevent
the ‘big chop’!!

There is nothing like a Trademe auction to get the sales
adrenaline flowing.
Buying or selling it is a cool vehicle for browsing or
trading.
We talked last week about visiting a market and doing deals
face to face.
Trademe gives you the opportunity to do the same deals but
from the comfort of your own home or office without the ‘in your face’ aggro or
stress.
We have been involved in the pursuit of some bunk beds for
Fletcher and have missed out on several great sets as they have spiralled way
out of our price range,
This made us even more determined to make sure we didn’t keep
missing out so we got sharper and eventually ended up with an outstanding buy.
Yes it was a bit over budget but well worth the effort when
we discovered the set we won was 3x the price the seller paid brand new only 12
months ago…….YES !!!! happy buyers!!!
I also like to run auctions for stuff that is surplus to our
requirements and whilst this can do your head in at times it still provides a
buzz and a thrill when a successful is made!
I currently have several things listed and always enjoy
watching the bids mount as the auction close approaches.
So if you are a trader then you will know what I am on about,
if you havent traded for a while then get trading and if you have never had a
crack then maybe its time you did!!
Why not put all proceeds into saving towards something
special you want or donate it every so often to a not for profit charity of
your choice….wouldnt that be a cool thing to do?
So a couple of messages here…..if you are looking for
something why not browse Trademe and if you are sick of looking at somethingh
cluttering your home why not use Trademe?
Simple yet exhilarating ways to fine tune sales skills and
have more or less stuff!!Good luck!
