If you have family who have been feeling cold in their home through winter, help may be at hand to make their home warm, dry, and healthy.

They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more homes are eligible for insulation grants. It gets better - there are lots of community organisations offering extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Go to our website to check their eligibility, today.

These usually sell for $9.99 each, so it's a bargain.
These would be good as a present for the cat lover in your family. Fill them with sweets and give them to the kids for a birthday or Christmas-heck fill them full of wool and give them to your favourite relative, friend, or non-binary pal who loves to knit.
You could buy them for your flat or your caravan or beach hut.
The ideas are endless.
These glasses, however, are not, and someone will grab them up if you don't.

I'm happy for you to pop in and have a look. Pick-up is fine.

Gold sparkly Caterpillar brand boots.

Cat from Miramar

Second-hand, but the boots are good. The sole is good, the laces are good, and the gold sparkle is a bit faded.
Size 7 UK 9 USA 40 Europe

These boots would be great for gardening, pretty punk glam, or drag boots. They've still got a lot of life left in them.
