He's very good around children ( mine are 11,14) affectionate and is spoilt rotten and sleeps on my bed next to me at night ( on the other pillow) so we need to rehouse him until I buy a house ( hopefully with the next 6 mths to 1yr). My kids would still like to come take him out on the weekends or if you live close by, afterschool. He has a beautiful nature is black, doesn't shed much. I'm happy to pay for his food. He just needs somewhere with a fully fenced backyard with someone who will love him and walk him daily. He's very cruisy just sleeps on our beds alot during the day. But he absolutely loves going on walks or running around at the karori dog park:-) contact Sarah on 0204727245

How high are your power bills this winter?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a message in the comments, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.
