    Temp labour sites.

    Any ideas how to get help in?

    I have just been called about completion on our house sale. I was expecting to move on Monday next week, then fook off for a few weeks on hols. I have just been called to ask if I can complete on the 1st. I can, of course, but ringing around removals peeps suggest no one is available, and the one we have booked for Monday can't change. Wifey has suggested we rent a van and do it ourselves, but I can't really lift tulip and carry it about, as my right knee is about as useful as MF's penis. Are there places you can call for temporary labour? A quick google suggests no, but there must be some kind of places that do this, they kept me through uni second time around.

    Offering £15 per hour is anyone is benched and wants a quick few quid.

    Oh, and the reason it would be beneficial, is new owner says he'll pay us extra moving costs, and it means I can get away without paying mortgage for August.

    On a serious note I found myself in a similar predicament some years ago and found two polish guys with their own van on gumtree so you could try that. The down side is they probably won't be insured for breakages etc but they were cheap. I paid them double what we agreed cos they worked seriously ******* hard until 10pm on a Friday, and it was still a bargain.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        I've used them a few times, check the van is going to be big enough.

            Hmmm, sounds good, and I guess I can make sure we take the valuables so they don't get broken, and I also guess we can cover it off on house insurance...

            Worth a punt I think.

              I would not trust any couple of guys to move house. They could make a note of what you have and then burgle next week
