This may well be the strangest Easter weekend any of us will ever experience in our lifetime, but that doesn’t mean that it needs to pass unnoticed. In fact you probably have more time now to make it extra special! How about baking your own hot cross buns? Or getting the kiddiwinks to decorate the […]

So sorry for disappearing on you like that! With the world turned upside down recently, some of you may not even have noticed that Mint went on a sudden hiatus last week Monday, but we’re happy to announce that we’re back! I’m certain that everyone will have their own story to tell about the events […]
Continue readingUnfortunately because of circumstances beyond my control (there seems to be a lot of that going around, doesn’t there!), I’m having to stop posting new items on Mint for the next few days. We should be back up and running by Monday latest, but with fewer daily items than normal. So sorry for the disruption, […]

Because of ‘it’ (call me crazy, but I refuse to give this thing even more power by naming it, plus I was a massive Harry Potter fan back in the day!), there are lots of people who are choosing to stay indoors for the time being. Fortunately though things have advanced somewhat since the war […]

Some of you might notice that when you next come to collect your Mint treasures from our home, things are a bit quieter than normal – there’s no manic Staffie jumping up and down, barking “You came to see me, you came to see me, yaaaayyyy!!!”. And that’s because – very sadly – Justin and […]

It’s being advertised through an agent online, but I thought I would help to spread the word! I’ve included some photos from the agent’s link below, but I promise you they don’t do the house […]
Continue readingJustin and I left Durban about five years ago now, and drove to Joburg with our pups, Scout and Jack, in the back of my Mint bakkie. We left behind a wonderful home, and amazing group of friends, and one of the most exceptional vets you’ll ever meet – a strange thing to reminisce about […]
Continue readingJust in case you missed our last blog post (or like me, just have a really rotten memory!) we thought we should remind you that we’re off to New Zealand for a month to visit Justin’s family! So from today we’ll only be posting three items a day, as opposed to the usual five. There […]
Continue readingNext week Justin and I are off to the land of the golden kiwi to visit his family, who live just outside of Auckland. We’ll be gone for almost a month, so if you need something couriered or delivered before the 16th December (which is when we’re back), then this week is the time to […]
Continue readingI came back from Cape Town on Saturday night with a bit of a nasty tummy bug, which unfortunately seemed to gain in strength last night and this morning, so I’m afraid there will be no 14h00 item for sale today. Hopefully in a few hours’ time I’ll be right as rain, and things will […]
