On behalf of a work associate, we have a missing cat named Ruby. Please see the photo. She has recently been rehomed to a lovely family in Richmond on London Street, between Fitzgerald Ave and Stanmore Road.

Ruby is very timid and only been in her new home for a week (until she escaped)so any sightings would be appreciated.

She is microchipped, with address changed to new address and also has a tag on that has her new owners phone number and address on it. Even only being in her new home for a week, her new parents have fallen in love with her and are beside themselves.

Please ring Glenda 0272707504 if you see Ruby or any cat like Ruby.

Thanks

Poll: Have you ever challenged a parking ticket?

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

No weekend pick ups sorry or after 5.30pm.

I'm clearing out my excess plants before the planting rush in spring. It's first in first served and items won't be held so be quick to get the best choices. New plants and bulbs added everyday and many more than shown. Please note that the plants will be smaller versions of the bigger ones shown. Many of the pots have multiple plants/bulbs yet still count as one plant so you get even more of a bargain.

For every three that you buy I'll give you a choice of two other free plants from a selection on the day you pick up. You therefore get 5 plants for $1 total.

The controversial relocation of Christchurch's Citizens' War Memorial has received financial backing for a proposed move to Cranmer Square.

The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust (CEAT), set up to administer post-earthquake donations, has confirmed it will "support" the removal of the 82-year-old cenotaph, which has stood alongside Christ Church Cathedral since 1937, if resource consent is approved.

Moving the 300-tonne cenotaph is estimated to cost up to $1.5 million, but CEAT secretary Neil Cooper would not say how much the trust would cover "as we've not made this figure public yet".
