I have 10 cushions- mix and match; mainly shades of reds and crimson; some browns; some striped. Some are sequinned, some are taffeta, some are of a more bobbly effect and some are a sort of fake leather look. All shapes and sizes. If you done like the covers good for inners.

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

You know that you should really educate yourself about your consumer rights – but it all sounds like a lot of hard work doesn’t it?
The Commerce Commission has developed a series of fun-to-watch animations aimed at helping you understand some of the big consumer and credit issues, and have a bit of a laugh at the same time.
The series, called It’s all good, follows Herman (a solo dad with a soft spot for big-ticket consumer products), Aunty (“one of Manukau’s sharpest legal operators”) and Marcus (a financial high-achiever with a heart).
In the first episodes Herman decides to get a loan to buy a high definition flat screen TV – conveniently forgetting that he’s already servicing several other loans, and oblivious to how much it’s all going to cost him.
Accompanying the series is a handy summary of key information that you need to know if you’re thinking of taking out a loan or buying stuff on credit, plus a list of organisations that can help if you need it.
If this whets your appetite for learning about your rights and obligations in a consumer credit contract, visit the Commerce Commission website for more.

The national Bird of The Year competition is heating up, with a shock concession from one of the contenders.
The kōtare, or kingfisher, has conceded it will not win the poll, and flown in behind one of the two leading candidates, the kea.
The kōtare has notched up 229 votes in the first week of the two-week ballot. But two birds are clear leaders in the hard-fought election race: kea on 1246 votes and kōkako on 1368.
Kōtare campaign manager Greening the Red Zone said the people had spoken, and for the integrity of the competition it was important for minor players to step back and focus on electing the best representative for all New Zealand’s birds.
“We love our kōtare, and want to see many more of them throughout a regenerating red zone,” said Greening the Red Zone co-chair Ashley Campbell. “But it’s clear that this is not the kingfisher’s year.
“The kōtare’s time will come, but in this electoral battle we need to throw our support behind best candidate for right now.
“We believe that candidate is the kea – the world’s only mountain parrot, and one that’s facing serious decline,” Ms Campbell said.
“While we will never see kea in the red zone, we want to make sure they stay forever in our mountains, entertaining tourists, rearranging windscreens, and just being the amazing birds they are.
“Besides which, we are troubled by the electoral track history of the kōkako and don’t want to see this important national poll mired in yet another voting scandal,” Ms Campbell said (see www.forestandbird.org.nz...).
