Brandnew Sheepskin Slippers

Antje from Linwood

Size 7, Emu Australia; bought 25.5. Unfortunately they don't fit Nanna and cannot be returned. They are 2nds and were half price (new 150$)

Shed Deconstruction and Reconstruction

Grant from Cashmere

I have a Duratuf shed 2.6m x 2.6m with a bench and flooring. I need to deconstruct it here in Cashmere (on the flat) and reconstruct it in St Martins. Don't care how many pieces (whole walls?) as long as it goes back together.

The new iconic shape of true wireless earbuds
Galaxy Buds Live’s eye-catching design stands out, even inside your ear. Reflecting the curves of the ear and face for a natural look, they're polished off with a glossy finish and even come together with a jewelry box-inspired case — to fit in your hand when on the go.

Full details: www.samsung.com...

These are an unwanted Christmas present that I just don't use.

Also includes brand new soft silicone case.
