For Sale in Eyrewell North Canterbury
Great first float.
This float has been awesome. As it is wide, horses are very comfortable in it. I've had a couple of horses in (not at the same time ;-)) who were scrambling in their double floats. They floated absolutely perfectly in this as they can spread their legs wide and also stand at a bit of an angle. See pics of my 16.1hh wide boy in it.

It isn't braked as it is a single and doesn't have to be although it wouldn't take much to fit brakes.

It is solid and good to tow.
Non slip removable mats and a non slip surface to the ramp.

There is some surface rust (pictured) but this is only surface.
Will come with new warrant and it is registered.
Yet more ADVANTAGES: It doesn't look fancy so I never worried about anyone stealing it ;-) despite this it is a dependable, safe float which so comfortable even my cat likes to snooze in it (The cat does not come with it).
Only selling due to upgrade to double.

$5000 ONO

Message me or email me cathy@cathydee.com

Price: $5,000

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.

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.

Kmart's list of 31 recalls

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

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.

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?

'Unbundled legal services' - including Kiwilaw's probate service - is a fancy name for 'pick and choose what you need'.
Just like in a supermarket, or when buying travel - you don't have to buy a readymade meal if you prefer to buy ingredients, and you don't have to do everything through a travel agent if you prefer to do some of it yourself online.
You can use Kiwilaw's online probate service to save money on the grant of probate, and still use your favourite lawyer for advice and help with the rest of the estate administration. Our standard fee: $490 incl GST (+High Court $200 fee).
If the executor doesn't want to act, or there's no will, Kiwilaw's service can handle that too.
(This is our junior collie, pointing out that trying to take a photo of a pile of law books - for our nearly-ready 'Guide to Estate Administration' - was a waste of good play time.)
See our website for more info and contact forms. kiwilaw.co.nz...
