FREE TALL BOY - must pick up today or tomorrow

Alex from Titahi Bay

This is free, needs fixing - falling apart a bit. Probably fine for someone who’s good at fixing things!

The bedside table is also free to take - also falling apart (the top comes off)

Hi there, I was lucky enough to find an affordable rental in Tawa through neighbourly and thought we’d try our luck again.

My sister is currently looking for a 3-4 bedroom rental property in Tawa. She’s a single parent of 3 school age children, all attending school in Tawa. Shes currently in fulltime study successfully completing a Bachelors degree in Psychology at Victoria University.

After a year of living at her current property in Tawa with zero improvements to the living conditions, her landlords are upping her rent by $50 a week. So, she is hoping to find another property, even if the cost is a little higher for more suitable living conditions.

Please let us know if you know of anything available 🙏 Thank you

What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.

Just rec'd this email: "You are part of Group 3 for the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. This means you’ll be contacted soon with an invitation to book your vaccination appointment." Just wish the message had come sooner to lessen my anxiety about whether I was on the list or not.
It goes on: "Group 3 is a large group so vaccinations will take place over several months." Hardly sounds like the Govt promise on priority is being met.

"Hello all, I am Gabe! A fun, loveable boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
