Would you like to take part in the paper clip challenge?

Tanya from Burwood

Hi all (this is my mum's account - I don't have my own), I've been set the paper clip challenge in my high school commerce class, where you start with a paper clip and trade it up for another item, which you then trade up for another item, etc (if you’ve not heard of this challenge, see link below to learn more).

I've done pretty well so far; I've traded up to a Vodafone Smart V8 (VFD710) in amazing condition. It’s barely used, factory reset, and has no marks or scratches (see photos attached and link for specs). It looks like it retails for around $120 e.g. from Ebay (see link below).


Do any of you or someone you know need a phone, and have something of a bit higher value but that you have no use for, and would be happy to trade for the phone? If you do, please reply to this post, or message me directly.

Or it might not be a phone that you want. If there’s something else you’re after, and you’ve got something suitable to trade it for, let me know, in case it comes up in one of my later trades.

I can put updates on here to let you know how the challenge goes 😊

Thanks so much for your time!!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
