    I agree. I don't even wash my car. I drive it to a car wash place round the corner and get them to do it. Wait in reception for 15 mins watching sky sports while 10 romanians go mad on cleaning the car. do that every couple of months and it only costs £10 (inside and out).

    Its good for the mind and soul to get out and do a bit with nature, due to the wife having a bun in the oven the usual Easter drink binge was cancelled this year so we did some gardening and went out on a few long walks, and I have got to say I feel great for doing it, its good to be alive

    Fixing cars and stuff... yes pay someone else.

    I wish I could but my back is too bad. and the gf is pregnant.

    I am South-East London - New Eltham. I pay £20 every 2 weeks - 2 chaps come and takes about an hour. 100feet by 20feet - less decking, garage, shed and childrens play area. childrens play area means less to cut but more obstacles.

    he charged us £20 to do the 1st cut which took him about 1 hr 45 min. The garden is 100ft * 30 ft. Not all grass of course. Patio, veg patch etc.

    He used our tools but he said he could bring his if we wanted. He did a good job and was very pleasant.
