The historic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Christchurch is going to be demolished.

Catholic bishop Paul Martin said the 113-year-old building was too expensive to restore and favoured demolishing the cathedral and building a new one for about $40 million on a site closer to the city centre.

He said the earthquake-damaged building on Barbadoes St would cost about $149m to fully restore, while just saving the central part of the building would cost $91m and not be fit for purpose.

We asked the energy experts to breakdown the running costs of all our favourite winter warmers, so you can work out how to get the best heating bang for your buck.

And while it's no shock that firing up a 2Kw electric heater doesn't come cheap, the price of a warm bed for a toasty night's sleep might surprise you. Check out the full rundown, including electric blankets, hot showers, heated towel rails and more, here.

Hi fellow dog lovers,


I have dogs but love to go on holiday yet I would never put my dogs in kennel. Nor do I want a house sitter.


So I am hoping to start a group where dog lovers can look after each others dog. So for example if I have your dog for a week then I am in credit with you for the same amount of days.


If interested in getting a community dog share and care system going please get in touch.


021564712.


I have small dogs so could only take small dogs in, so I would match you with similar dogs and their particular needs.


I think there could be many advantages to such a scheme as  dog lovers we know that our dogs will be loved and cared for.
