Garage Sale in Linwood - Tomorrow! (Saturday 9 March)
We are planning to head overseas during the year so have started clearing out our things now! We have a large selection of household items, books, linens, a set of golf clubs and and clothes. You can come and check out our SpringFree trampoline and swing set in the backyard which we will also be selling (most likely through TradeMe but open to good offers!!). Other things on offer are some bedding including two single electric blankets (in great condition), a portacot and two snow sleds. There is a large outdoor umbrella, single duvet, girls duvet cover set with matching pillowcase, summer weight sleeping bags, camp stretchers for kids, old TV cabinet (free to a good home). Our address is 13 Woodhouse St (off Gloucester) and we'll be running the sale from 8:30am to midday. Photos were taken when we first tried to have this sale in the middle of the summer holidays and had three people turn up (clearly not a good time of year) and we have added a LOT more since then. Come and make an offer!
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
