WHAT A GREAT GIRLS DAY OUT...
We still have some tickets for the Habitat for Humanity Op Shop tour on Saturday 5th August. Bookabus are chauffeur driving 30 ladies between 3 of our stores - Ormiston Rd, Panmure and Pukekohe stopping enroute for lunch at Cafe Palazzo in Karaka which includes a glass of wine/coffee or tea. Your guide for the day Marilyn, our Panmure Restore Manager and interior designer, will give you some great tips on how to buy great quality goods for less, how to design a room and, along with Restore Pukekohe's very own Noreen, teach you about antiques. If you are currently redecorating a room bring your paint and fabric samples and let us show you how to take a room from drab to fab. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to the world of op shopping this is a great opportunity to meet new friends and learn a skill that will save you money. The tour starts at 9am from our Ormiston store - 8 Ormiston Road, East Tamaki and returns at 4pm. We look forward to introducing you to our Aladdins caves that are Habitat Restore! For further information phone Debbie on 022 1239536. Spaces are limited so book TODAY.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
