On The Lookout For A Car.

Mark from Paraparaumu Beach

My 19 year old granddaughter is on the lookout for a car 🚗

Unfortunately she was involved in an accident yesterday,and her Suzuki Swift was written off 😟
No injuries thankfully.

She is living up here until varsity restarts back in Wellington,then will be moving back into town.

The problem is she has a job in Karori,and drives to work .... bit awkward not actually having a car 😬

So .... shes looking for a "new" set of wheels to make life so much easier for her.

Open minded re makes etc, but has a budget of around $2000 ... and needs to be an automatic 🙄

Her dad is a mechanic so will be able to run a ready eye 👁 over it for her

Thank you in anticipation 🙏

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, 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 ⚖️

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.
