Well I do need a path building some how ... that goes round the washing line and up into the non chicken area. It's all quite a mess basically and doesn't flow nicely!!

The pond needs clearing out - we are going to make it smaller to fit in a small patio area ...

We have crammed too much in basically!

Does that sound fun?! ...

Sounds like you need a pro in, not a bunch of chancers. 😬

Yes and abcde are willing to pay you lots of money for it ... come take over! 🙂 I just paid £250 for 2 small borders to be weeded, a small tree to be planted and a bush to be cut back.

Tbh I only had a gardener in because I wanted the tree planting before Spring. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. As it was he looked at me and said couldn't you have got your old man to do this for you? Sigh ...

I will never retire..my hourly rate is so low..but it is outdoors and I love it..when my football career finished...my long term outdoor love then became fishing..which I love.Thats some quote...250 quid  depending on border size did he take rubbish away.

Could've done it yourself, Beka. Sounds like 3 hours work, at most.

£250!! He saw you coming😉

Agreed that's excessive

Ha. Haven't seen them for ages. 

I gave Roy my btsport password when they had the Downton shop, so he could watch Spurs, then forgot when it closed down.  Couldn't watch it myself for ages until he reminded me at the Cuckoo Fayre.
