Posting on behalf of a friend!

Have a lonely driveway or melancholy patch of lawn in Wellington that's looking for company over the long winter nights?

Look no further! We're a Kiwi/Irish yopro couple who live in our van, Jean-Claude (a Ford Transit Jumbo). We're looking for somewhere flat in central Wellington to park him, and live in him primarily during the week - most weekends will be for adventuring.

We are fully self-contained, we will just need to borrow your hose from time to time to fill up our water tank. Aside from that, you will hardly even know we're there (unless you want to, in which case come over for a yarn and a cuppa!)

We're looking to pay you $100 per week, in cash or by bank deposit, and happy to keep the arrangement fairly flexible.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know then please reach out! Alicia 027 228 2144

Looking to find somewhere to 'move in' in the next 2-3 weeks :v:

Small businesses are vital to the recovery of our economy.

During the Covid-19 restrictions, business owners have shown initiative, hard work and resilience to keep afloat.

But many have been hit hard.

Lack of clarity about just how heavy the toll of the restrictions have been on individual businesses and their ability to quickly rebound adds to the uncertainty of the national economic recovery.

Therefore, Prosper is launching a survey targeted at finding out the scale of Covid-19's impact.

You can take that survey right now – it will only take a few minutes.
