We have 2 slow cookers sitting doing nothing but in chch but then the bowls have cracks in them - they are waiting for EQC 1 was only brought the morning of Feb 22 and cracked within hours with the EQ. Go and ask a second hand shops they will have them I am sure.

There was one in the Sallies in Feilding yesterday. Not sure whether it's the right size though.

Best water bowls ever, my dog that likes to 'paddle' in her bowl can't tip it over. Here's hoping you find one

quicke, if you don’t have any luck locally I have a suggestion/offer for you.
We will be passing through Palmerston North on our way to New Plymouth a day or two before Easter so if you want to try for the slow cooker inner as at #2, we would happily collect it from Maudes here in Christchurch for you, then hand it over to you, providing that you’d be able to meet up with us during the daytime, most likely on Wednesday 27 March, and of course, assuming that you had already paid Maudes for it before we would need to collect it from them, which is within 5 days of winning the auction.:-))

Most concrete product companies make small bowls for dogs and small troughs for pigs.
Saw some on the Fielddays today for $10

You might be sorted out now, but for future reference Freecycle is a really good source for this kind of thing. People are usually glad for somebody to take things off their hands and make use of them.

We pay now $35 for a trailer load of rubbish to go to the dump - that is why people are so keen to "free"cycle.
The local hospice shop is bringing trailer loads of rubbish to the dump every day because people simply dump their rubbish at their doors at night . and not everything can be sold.

Yes, uli, that's a big problem near us as well with people dumping unsellable junk on op shops (especially when somebody else then comes along and sets fire to the pile outside the shop itself). That's why I like Freecycle so much - the things actually go to somebody with a purpose for them rather than just being dumped on a charity in the hope they'll find a good home.
