Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.
The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.
But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.
Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?
Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?

I’m in charge of clucking egg-spectantly to remind Sue to let us out in the morning, and of perching on the gate to cluck in an egg-sasperated manner if she’s late locking us in at night (she sometimes gets so egg-grossed in her work that she forgets us!). I’ve also been known to flap up onto the office windowsill and peck at the glass to
egg-sure she’s doing everyone’s accounts properly.
I’m so egg-cited to tell you about Sue! She’s a Certified Bookkeeper and Xero Advisor, with over 20 years of
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 (don’t ask her how she feels about messy desks... let’s just say she might be a tiny bit egg-sessive about numbers!).
Sue takes care of all the office stuff YOU hate – from her home office (so I get let out and tucked in on time🥚 ).
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:

I have tried to find the good Kiwi polish in dark brown - but basically only one shade of the colour is available and most of it is c r a p ................. If you have an older kit with darker brown in it - even if I could borrow and return it - it is to cover about 24 square cm so wouldn't make a big hole in your nugget if you have some.
Kindly email me at: lyninlevin@xtra.co.nz if you can help.
Thanks
