NOT ONE REPLY! Occasional cleaner wanted

Neil from Thorndon

This went out to 23,000 people and even with all the people out of work (108,000 on a JobSeeker Benefit in NZ), l haven't had a single reply! Do you know someone perhaps?
The ad reads:
We have a one bedroom Thorndon apartment rented to an MP and he'd like it cleaned every so often (MPs are only in Wellington about six days a month).
If you'd like this job then please call me on 027 499 1212
He will pay $100 for the work.
