Gardening! The gift that keeps on giving

[alias_sqbr]

EDIT: Done! That was MUCH easier than ringing people from the yellow pages...

So I thought about what I want for my birthday, and there's various obvious things (I don't go shopping much, so books and stuff) but what I REALLY want..is for one or more people to weed my garden. I just don't have the energy and Cam Can't Garden. I've tried hiring people and nothing eventuates, so I think this might end up being easier (though if any of you are poor students and want the work I am totally open to it(*). It doesn't count as a present then though :))

Before anyone volunteers and then has to take it back, I remind you I live in Bayswater. Near the train station, though, and I am almost always home. I would happily chat to you from a shady spot :)

(*)I think $15 or $20 an hour is the going rate? Who knows in these financially volatile times.

I love gardening and would happily donate some time to helping yours out. I'm available any time after November 17th aka Day of Exam Doom. :)

Oh, thanks! I will let you know if anything remains after indescribble is finished, though I feel a bit bad what with the fact that we don't know each other that well so you probably wouldn't have gotten me a present otherwise :)

Oh, please don't feel bad! I'm trying to be more...useful, I suppose, to others, so I like to take opportunities that arise to help!

If me coming over and planting some flowers or something of that sort would bring awesomeness to your garden and/or life, hit me up after exams and I'll be there with digging things and stuff to plant. And home-made fertilizer from my worm farm. :)

Well, right now I'm just basking in the lack of weeds, I shall ponder and get back to you. Thanks again for the offer, either way.

I'm desperate for cash atm being unable to find job :( Would quite happily do gardening :) can start tomorrow should you like it :)

[indescribble.livejournal.com]

could definitely use a reference in the resume sense too *looks pleadingly*

[alias_sqbr]

Sounds like a win-win situation, sure :)

Weekends are less good since I and Cam tend to make plans, and I'm busy Tuesday afternoon, but otherwise have no preference. When's good for you?

well tomorrow's friday i could start on it tomorrow and then if it needs another day then come back the monday :)

[alias_sqbr]

*shifty eyes* I knew that :) Sounds good! What time?

*checks weather*: fine and 21, perfect for gardening. But remember a hat! I have crappy gloves, also, which you're welcome to borrow.
