Cushions. $5 for the black and gold elephant one and $5 for the pair of shiny pale duck-egg green ones. =D

Sharon from Te Atatu South

NOT from a smoke-free home, I'm sorry to say, as the lady who gave these to me has a son living at home who smokes like a chimney, so these may need a wash - I'd be careful putting the elephant one in the wash though, I'd remove the cover and soak it in a bucket first before putting … View moreNOT from a smoke-free home, I'm sorry to say, as the lady who gave these to me has a son living at home who smokes like a chimney, so these may need a wash - I'd be careful putting the elephant one in the wash though, I'd remove the cover and soak it in a bucket first before putting it back on. The inners could possibly go in the washing machine separately, but you can buy new ones if you want.

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!
