As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

The engine starts easily and has good to excellent tyres with alloy wheels.
Interior is dry with no tears or rips, all trim appears to be present and everything works really well, fans, a/c, lights, wipers etc.
The stereo has been upgraded and it comes with a 6CD changer in the boot.
There is a second (Brand new) roof that can replace the current one though it hasn't leaked yet. There is also a second hand passenger door (only in white) that I bought to cover a minor dent, then I never really bothered to get it done as it always passed a warrant as is. Both of these are included in the price.
This car is the light of my life but due a spinal operation around 2013 I have not been able to drive it. I've held on, hoping to come right but have to finally admit that's it's not going to happen.
It's last warrant was October 2016 (passed easily) and since then my husband has started and driven it every week to keep it ticking over so it has only done approx 2000kms since then. Registration is on 3 monthly hold at present.
If anybody is interested please contact me and come up and see/drive it.

The Leader and the Hutt News are barely holding on to serving as weekly publication relevant to the cities they represent and this May 2 front page item is surely another step in nailing the coffin.
For some obscure reason, I still buy the DomPost - maybe it's because I was engaged by them for years as a journo. And a few days ago, the very same story about this women and photo appeared in the front page of the DomPost. So effectively the Upper Hutt Leader "stole, copied, regurgitated " a story from the local daily that had seemingly in reading the article nothing to do with Upper Hutt.
Could it be that Upper Hutt alone among the region's towns and cities, has a pronounced large elderly population so the story of a 110 year old lady raised in Dunedin and apparently now living in Clinton, South Otago is relevant afterall.
Or could it be that the Leader's editor and his/her news staff are lazing away and were careless not to add to the story that the remarkable woman has actually lived in Upper Hutt for the past 65-odd years.
But whatever, Stuff and Neighbourly and the like are more than gradually taking over. And I would say that within 2 years the Upper Hutt Leader and within 5 years the DomPost will cease to exist as they are now.
Size 12 kids unisex school track pants. Excellent condition as only worn half dozen times.
I have a bag of frozen Fejoas in the freezer from last year. Anyone is welcome to have them. They are still good for jams or jummy fejoa wine.
We have a wooden desk for sale. Great condition just no longer need as have another one in our office. Pick up Elderslea
