Hi neighbours,
We are trying to find the most littered beach in Auckland.
One resident has been collecting broken glass off one beach for the past three weeks and says he would hate to see a person or dog cut their feet.

We are trying to find the most littered beach in Auckland.
One resident has been collecting broken glass off one beach for the past three weeks and says he would hate to see a person or dog cut their feet.
Have you come across broken glass at the beach? What is the most common piece of rubbish you are finding? Have you had to complain to council about all of the rubbish on beaches? Put NFP in your post if it is not for publication.

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.
The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.
We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

“Clutter isn’t just the stuff on the floor. It’s anything that gets between you and the life you want to be living!” (Peter Walsh – “It’s all too much).

Is the life you want to be living now – and future you – a life of chaos, disorder and clutter? Or do you envision a calm environment, meals prepped, daily TO DO’s always done. Well then – if that is you, or someone you know then let me tell you about the ADORE method of organising (this method is by a UK Clutter Expert who came up with this tried and tested method of getting your life organised).
The acronym ADORE stands for:
A – Assess / D – declutter / O – Organise / R – Real Life / E – Evaluate
We all have clutter (in some form or another) that is a given. Mental clutter, unfinished projects, toxic relationships and the general stuff we collect, the clothes that no longer fit us (but we promise to start our eating plan and work out regime on Monday). It’s stuff that gets us down, makes us feel overwhelmed and is an embarrassment when impromptu guests pop around. Why live with clutter when you can live the life you’ve dreamed of?
Should you or someone you know want to finally tackle their clutter, then please email me on styledandsorted@gmail.com
For the first 2 weeks of July – I am offering a FREE half an hour in-house consultation (normally $40) to give you a brief overview of how the space can be used better and show you how to best tackle the organising project which you are challenged with.
Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.
Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

We’ve just found an unhappy hedgehog on our driveway. Covered in ants and looks like it needs some help.
I’ve left a message for somebody called hedgehog rescue found online but posting to see if any local options / suggestions.
Cheers
