For Sale - Croozer Kids for 2.

$50.00 

This Croozer seats two small kids and works well, despite having put in many k’s over the years. The attachments to make into a pram or connect it to a bike are with it. The only missing items are the clips as shown in the photo. There are some but it would be sensible to get 2 more if you are transporting kids in it.

Please call Robert Larocca 0438 964 124 or roblaroc72@gmail.com

Summer Job

Would there be a local kid to Newlands out there, interested in a small mowing job, we only have a push mower but it’s a small patch and watering the garden for us at least every few days whilst we’re away? 

Watering probably takes about 20 minutes and the lawn mowing if it’s kept low about 20-30 minutes max but only needs doing once a week. 

Will pay $15 for the week. Please call 0432 361 038 if interested.

Recommendation

Hi Folks, 

I’d like to second a recommendation I saw here for John Clement for roof repairs. He did a great job re-pointing our ridge and gables, replaced broken tiles, checked over roof integrity. John is friendly, reliable and the price was reasonable. 

His number is 0450 705 302. 

Cheers, 

Amy.
