I'm here to help a business at Short Notice
If anyone has a air bnb type lodging near Auckland CBD available for Saturday night for me, my mum and my friend, I have a budget of $100 to spare. I am a single mum, don't get out much and I've been lucky to be invited out to a gig! We live in Gulf Harbour and as everyone knows it's a b***h to get any transport here and back so getting accommodation in the city is probably the smarter option but... even on Booking.com the bloomin places are super pricey and gross too. We'd need parking for 1 car. Or, we could make our way there via public transport and travel back on Sunday. My car's power steering has gone but kind of drive-able; mum's car is making a rattling noise. We are not the kind of people who ask for help and try and muddle through as best we can, so thus is not a sob story I promise!
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
