Friday Funny: πŸ˜„πŸ•My Dog lives like a kingπŸ•πŸ˜„

Fiona from Henderson

I Just Realized Something:

β€’ My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.
β€’ He has his food prepared for him.
β€’ His meals are provided at no cost to him.
β€’ He visits the Vet once a year for his checkup and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.
β€’ He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep.
β€’ If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.
β€’ He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.
β€’ He receives these accommodations absolutely free.
β€’ He is living like a king and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.
β€’ All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living.

I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks ~ MY DOG IS A POLITCIAN!!!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? πŸ•°οΈ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? β˜•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets βš–οΈ

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
