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, would anyone know of a company which lists holiday houses without close neighbours, e.g remote houses. A bach would do the trick if no close neighbours. It's hard to find such a house with the usual suspects Airbnb, bachcare bookabach..... etc.

Or if anyone has such a place themselves and can lease it out, North Island, I'd be interested to hear more!

The library doesn’t have it and isn’t willing to purchase it. Bit odd considering they have the rest of the series.
I love books and look after them, no dog ears !

From the Land of the Long White Cloud to the Land Down Under!
Kiwi is going on his first big holiday from Aotearoa across to the golden shores of Brisbane. He’s got his backpack, a pocket full of worms, and a head full of dreams. The most exciting thing of all is that he might even get to go on a rollercoaster! With his Mum, Kiwi navigates air travel, hotels and conversations with marsupials as his world stretches from the home he knows, to the world over the horizon.
A tale that celebrates the connection between our two countries, featuring stunning costume designs by GRIDLEY by Victoria and fresh waiata by NZ singer-songwriter Benny Tipene. Brought to the stage by the multi-award winning companies Horse With No Name and GRIDLEY by Victoria, Kiwi’s Big Hararei is a story about spreading your wings and flying into the unknown.

Strong currents and surges can injure and drown people. There is a danger to swimmers, surfers, people fishing, and anyone in or near the water close to shore.
People in or near the sea in the following areas should move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.
AREAS UNDER THREAT:
ALL COASTAL AREAS OF THE NORTH ISLAND, GREAT BARRIER ISLAND, THE SOUTH ISLAND, STEWART ISLAND, and the CHATHAM ISLANDS (updated: 3.02pm, 30/07/2025)
ADVICE FOR PEOPLE IN AREAS UNDER THREAT:
STAY OFF THE BEACHES AND SHORE AREAS
People on boats, live-aboards and at marinas should leave their boats/vessels and move onto shore. Do not return to boats unless instructed by officials.
There is no need to evacuate other areas unless directly advised by local civil defence authorities. Coastal inundation (flooding of land areas near the shore) is not expected as a result of this event. We are advising people to:
- Move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, marinas, rivers and estuaries.
- Do not go to the coast to watch the unusual wave activity as there may be dangerous and unpredictable surges.
- Listen to local civil defence authorities and follow any instructions.
- Share this information with family, neighbours and friends.
- Strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges will continue for several hours and the threat must be regarded as real until the Civil Defence states otherwise.
The situation may change as new information becomes available. Listen to the radio or TV for updates, or check www.civildefence.govt.nz...
