Selling for a friend. She had it specially made to hold all her kitchen appliances (she had quite a lot). It is free-standing and solid with shelves. It's seen a bit of life, so it is going to need a paint. Keen to get rid quickly hence the price. Collection from Wellington only. This would be great for she or he shed to put all those bits and pieces in.

Price: $10

Old but still working microwave FREE

Cat from Miramar

This microwave came from work. It is so old it has a dial. But, like a lot of old things, it's still keeping on going. It's free, and you just need to tell me when you want to pick it up. I've cleaned it up since I took the picture.

"Kaka, were essentially extinct here in Wellington for over 100 years. Then in 2002 a small group was translocated to our fenced sanctuary Zealandia. Now Kaka fly freely around the CBD. There are approximately 1000 birds now, each with its own personality.
They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?

Previously unemployed and struggling with anxiety, Jack found a new path after joining the Toroa Career Navigator programme run by Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough.

Through the programme, he discovered his passion for the viticulture industry and was able to secure a cadetship opportunity with the help of his mentors and programme coordinator.

Now, almost six months into his job, he feels more confident and is grateful for the support he has received. Jack encourages other young people if given the opportunity to take the course and give things a go.

As the nonprofit, low-fee KiwiSaver provider, our mission is to provide a better choice for Kiwis. We’re about making members wealthier, not lining shareholder pockets.

So we’ve just announced our 5th fee cut in 5 years. From 1 April, we’re lowering our total fund charge to 0.30% across our Conservative, Balanced and Growth KiwiSaver Funds and our diversified investment funds. Says Sam Stubbs, Simplicity MD: “Being a KiwiSaver manager involves huge economies of scale. Fee cuts in our industry should be frequent, but they aren’t.”

Simplicity believes in passing on the benefits of scale to our members – and we’re on track for further fee cuts in the future. Check out more details on our blog now!
