Kia ora, I have an outside gas heater for sale. We used it for my partner's last big birthday and never since. We're getting too old for big parties, hence the sale.

It runs on a 9kg gas bottle and from memory, put out really good heat. The party we used it for was in September, very cold and raining, miserable weather in fact. We were impressed.
Price: $120. Colour: gunmetal. Has 2 wheels to move it. Takes 9kg gas bottle (the common BBQ size). Condition: Used, good. # owners: 1, bought new. How stored: in garage, under cover. Sale terms: As is, where is. Payment methods: cash or direct credit to bank account. No: credit card, EFTPOS, instalments, layby, barter, buy now pay later, etc. No tyre kickers. Note, this sale DOES NOT INCLUDE GAS BOTTLE.
I can't remember what we paid for it new, but similar online today from Gasmate www.gasmate.co.nz..., called "area heater" is RRP $389.
I will deliver local only, or I will deliver into town at my convenience which means 1 trip/week only, to your work or to the Cobham Oval carpark.
Kia ora, I have an bicycle trainer that fits the rear axle of any bike. It has an adjustor to make peddling harder or easier that sits on the handle bars of your bike. It can be placed inside or outside, e.g., in front of the telly, on the deck, in the garage. Very stable triangle design.

I have decided I hate indoors exercise unless it's social; I'm mostly an outside girl, that's why it's for sale.
Brand: CycleOps. Age: I can't remember, but it's in good not excellent condition, used. Sale terms: As is, where is. # owners: 1. Main thing is, it works and has plenty life in it. Recently tested.

Happy Matariki 2022!
It's a time to celebrate new life, to remember those who’ve passed, and to plan for the future. Matariki is a time to spend with whānau and friends – to enjoy kai (food), waiata (song), tākaro (games), and haka.

My wish is for my brother, in Fiji to visit me here in Whangarei. He is a tradesman too. I told him that NZ can pay him more for his work. He is a fit & healthy 46 year old, welder & fabricator by trade (has done a lot, high pressure/ tanks pipelines etc). He's done engineering work too. Also heavy vehicle maintenance in the Fiji gold mine. For community work, he's built lots of houses for whanau & friends (builder/carpenter). I have his CV with me and happy to email to whoever may request it. I've been in Whangarei a long time and my wish is for a whanau member to live with me or close by. My phone number is 0210684996. (Sila) Thank you all for your support.

You don’t need to spend big to create a healthy home, and you can start with good curtains. Open them during the day to let the warmth in, then close them at night to keep cold air out. A low-cost heater will keep your air warm at night while you snuggle under blankets and flannelette sheets.
Keep your whānau cosy this winter with us.
Most elder abuse is hidden in plain sight. Abusers are often someone close – a family member, a caregiver, someone trusted. If you’re concerned about how someone is being treated, it’s OK to get help. #ItsOKtoHelp #WEAAD
