I have a couple of "rock n roll" dresses and others, including a warm winter coat, which I no longer require. Most of them worn once only, so they are like new. Size depends on your fitting i.e. mostly small. These could also fit a size 8 to 10. Come along and try them on. Viewing after 5pm or as conveniently arranged. Prices vary starting from $5.00 to $30 - just want them to find a good home and make someone feel special this Christmas/New Year party. One dress still has label on from Farmers - never worn. Cherry dress bought from Gizmos Richmond, worn only once. Red and green rockabilly scarves as new. Micky mouse dress only $5.00. Individual photos on request. Message me if you are keen. The clothing is from a smoke free home and well looked after. As I go through my cupboards I will be selling more things, all sorts of things not in use. Thank you for your interest.
I am trying to raise some funds for my greyhound pet who is 6 years old, who has no tear ducts, requiring medication 4 to 5 times a day for the rest of his life.

We are on the hunt for New Zealand's most original, even legendary, Santas - can you help?? This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.

Obviously, this person will also be the one that is called upon each year to don the red suit to go out and about posing for photos, handing out presents and just be an all-around nice charitable person.

If you know of someone, please leave us a comment with your details and how we can get in touch with your local Santa. COMMENT BELOW!

FREE Rabbit Hutch

Armando from Nelson South

Hi neighbours,
I am cleaning up my backyard and I have rabbit hutches (4) for free. Just pick it up. It's not new and may need some touches to be ready but I cleaned up as much I could. I have some chicken netting for free as well.
