My wife and I will be living in a rental in Welly for some weeks in July and August before our container arrives. The rental may be unfurnished. Does anyone have a few things we might borrow to make that time easier? A few that come to mind:
-a medium size bed or futon and perhaps bedding to fit
-a clothes iron & ironing board
-a couple pots and pans, food containers, can opener, tea kettle, assorted other kitchen things
-a chair or two
-a stereo or clock radio

Thanks!! :)

Hi David
We can lend you a double bed, the duvet may be a bit light though as it's a summer one but your welcome to try it with 2 pillows. Can also do a couple of saucepans & I think we may have a 2nd can opener, have a Mickey Mouse alarm clock if you want to borrow that, couple of garden chairs & I could see what else I could put together. I don't have a spair iron & board though or kettle but you can pick up a cheap kettle & and iron I'm sure.
Just give me a bit of time for preperation & delivery as by then we will have our hands busy with a new born
Don't know how we would have coped without someone coming to our rescue so happy to help as much as we can
Good luck
Lindsey & David

We are happy to help as well. I can loan you some bedding, cutlery, plates, saucepans and cups. I also have a camping kettle you could put on the stove, some towels, etc.

Just a thought - would you consider packing your iron?
