Have you seen James Gunn's 'Superman' yet?

The new movie stars Krypto, Superman's capable and floofy sidekick. Following the movie release, online searches for dog adoption surged globally! Krypto is based on Gunn's own rescue dog, Ozu. The Neighbourly team is sure that Gunn is pleased that his own rescue pup may lead to more fluffy adoptions!

Looking to match with your own super pet? The SPCA is spotlighting animals waiting for their new and committed families.

Poll: What do you do with your stuff when you get the urge to declutter?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Life gets busy—really busy. Between work, family, appointments, and a never-ending to-do list, it’s easy for things to pile up. Add fast fashion, online sales, and homewares aisles that whisper “just one more basket won’t hurt”, and suddenly we’re swimming in stuff and tat.

Sometimes, that stuff is cozy and familiar. But other times, after a long day, you walk through the door, look around, and think: “Okay. Something’s got to go.”

And when that urge to declutter hits, the question is—where does it all go? We're not talking about broken bits and pieces, but those perfectly good things that simply no longer fit your life or your space.

In her piece When decluttering can’t be avoided much longer, Joanna Davis shares the everyday items she's finally ready to part with—and it might just inspire your own clear-out mission.

We want to know:
🧹 How often do you get the urge to declutter?
🎯 Are there certain things you’ve got your eye on to donate or rehome?
💛 Do you have any favourite charities, op-shops, or community organisations you support with your preloved items?

Let’s swap stories, share ideas, and help great stuff find a second life—outside our closets and shelves.

Hi there, I’m Mrs Cluck 🐔 – but I think I’m a Sheep 🐑

I got my name because I leave the rest of the chickens, clucking softly under my breath, and go hang out with the sheep every day... maybe cos I’m the same colour??... or maybe cos I’m slightly confused??

But Sue’s not confused at all, she knows egg-actly what she is… a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero Advisor, with over 20 years egg-sperience running and managing tradie businesses. She’s a mathemachicken when it comes to accounts, egg-ceptional at payroll, and clucking amazing at admin. She loves creating systems, following processes, and running paperless offices.

Ahuh…I think I’ve just realised why I hang out with the sheep, it’s so I can report when there’s been an increase… we all know Sue egg-thralled with numbers, so she’ll want to know when there’s a new addition in the sheep paddock!

SUE TAKES CARE OF ALL OFFICE STUFF YOU HATE – from her home office (so I get let out on time, to monitor sheep numbers!)

Contact Sue to book your free, confidential, no-obligation 30-minute cluck-n-chat, and find out how her egg-spertise can help YOUR business:
