This item has found a new owner and is no longer available.
We have a 5.5kg Hoover washing machine to give away. It is old but in working order. No manuals are available, even online. It spent a few years in our barn, tested it today and it does still work. Needs a good clean in- and outside though.
Please - PLEASE - only request it if it is for your personal use and not resale. We can put it on Trade-Me ourselves. All we want is to help someone out in need of a washing machine (preferably to someone who doesn't have the money to buy one).
Pick up is near Swannanoa. If you don't have a trailer, we will figure something out to get it to you.

My Microdermabrasion crystals are my go to once a week.
Its benefits include: softens fine lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, also known as age spots. Microdermabrasion also makes it easier for high quality skin care products to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.
The surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and skin will feel visibly fresher. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, pores are unclogged, acne is diminished, collagen is stimulated and a more uniform tone is evident. Essentially it is a controlled way to shed skin of impurities and dead layers of skin. It can be used to successfully treat concerns such as dull, weathered skin, uneven or blotchy pigmentation, freckles, black heads, sun damage and fine lines.
Add the Microdermabrasion crystals to your own lotions, creams/cleansers etc and you will create your own microdermabrasion treatment. Use your hands to rub the cream into your face, pushing the crystals against your skin so that they grab and remove the dead cells of the stratum corneum (top layer of skin). Rinse then moisturise. Please remember to use on backs of hands, arms, chest, legs etc just work it all over your body for a silky smooth sensation!

Don't quit before the miracle happens

I didn't know I had a problem with food, not at first. I was an active child and not yet overweight, but not as petite as my family so I had a perception that I was fat. I was always hungry and there never seemed to be enough food. I had an obsession but didn’t know it yet.
When I was thirteen, I worked in a restaurant and all of the sudden food was so accessible and I couldn't stop eating.

It was a very hot night, and I literally swept my hand down my body and said out loud, ‘Oh, it's so hot!’ And I felt this lump, It felt like half the size of a golf ball. I thought, I'm not going to be too worried about it, but I emailed my doctor and made an appointment.
They've said all along you're very lucky you caught it early.
I guess there's some people who go through this sort of thing who are not information seekers. But I'm like, ‘tell me everything!’. My oncologist, at our first meeting, said, ‘our job is to take your body to the very edge to kill the cancer. We take you to the edge, knowing that once we stop, the systems that we are affecting will recover.’ So it is scary stuff.
I just asked questions all the time. I'm a pretty cynical person, but I'm so impressed with the quality of care. I was told when I was first diagnosed, you're in the best city in New Zealand for breast cancer care. When you go in for your chemo you are given a nurse for the day, and she looks after you. They're super resilient these women I mean, obviously they have to be.
When I was heading into chemotherapy, I think the vision I had was that it would be a very quiet, somber place. Oh, no! It's like, hi!, hi! Hi! it's bustly, people are laughing. I actually come away from my chemotherapy sessions feeling quite uplifted because the talk's very lively, and there's just this feeling of caring and concern.
I'm at the pointy end of the treatment now, and although I'm only having treatment every three weeks, the drugs that I'm having now are very heavy duty. I'm just holding my head above water with work.
I continue to turn up with full makeup, I'll put earrings on. And my eyebrows, which I draw on fastidiously every morning and sometimes I end up with like Groucho Marx and sometimes I end up looking like Twiggy. It just depends on my mood. People say to me, oh, gosh, she's looking so well. That helps me too because it's a bit of normality in a very abnormal situation.
Perspective is really important. Getting your head out of what might happen, and bringing yourself back to the present is really important. Counseling helps, right? Breast Cancer Foundation and the Cancer Society both fund counselling.
At the beginning, I was trying to be upbeat about it all the time. I'm not now. I acknowledge when I have down days, those are the days when my sister rushes around and gives me a foot massage.
Actually, for the last week, I felt really afraid of dying. Most of the time, I'm not, because I have faith. So it’s just like, I’ve got this job to do this year, which is an absolute shit job. But it will come to an end.
Boy, have I developed as a person and I'll continue to develop right to the end of this journey, whatever that looks like. Because it just forever changes you. Physically and mentally and emotionally. Spiritually. I've got people praying for me all over the world, and I believe that has made a difference."

The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy.
Reiki is a type of energy healing. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
Energy healing aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Being a Reiki Practitioner (who has undergone formal training in this healing art) I believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. Reiki is a form of complementary and alternative medicine, being open to receiving life force energy is a must.
Invest in Yourself: Take a small retreat from your busy life to relax & enjoy a peaceful, gentle, healing session with me. Improve your physical emotional mental & spiritual well being. Reduce anxiety, stress & tension.
Book a Reiki Session with Me, and I will help you on your HEALING journey.
