Kindling Wood
Hi Neighbors and Friends,
On visiting Supermarkets, and Homewhare shops it really gets under my skin the rediculous prices that these community shops are charging for the necessity for families to keep themselves warm during and into the colder part of our year.
On seeing what these supposed community and family providers are charging for bags of firewood and kindling is totally unbelievable
From what I've looked at, how can they substanciate charging $15-00 plus for a bag of 12 wood rings/rolls, or $18-99 for a box of Kindling Wood.
With this regard, I have devoted a lot of time and effort in making available to the Levin residents Kindling Wood options, that as I feel a more friendly and acceptable cost to households.
As you will see from the attached photo's, there is 2 options available.
No.1 on left $10, approx 90+ pieces per box
No.2 on right $12-50 approx 130 + per box
Its not my intention to rip anyone off, but my time in producing this product, is a lot higher than the asking price, however I believe the community deserve better.
If interested call John 021 756020 or email jojabe31@gmail.com
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

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