I was shocked when i spoke to my MIL, who is a pensioner of 88yrs,

she told me she paid a gardener £16 per hour for pulling up weeds :eek:

I told her that i only get £3.00 - £3.50 for looking after someone precious children and that some quibble over that!

Her answer to that was my work was more reliable... ummm!

Don’t it make you laugh :laughing:

MY friends hubby is a window cleaner.

He makes BIG money when the weather is nice but then gets rained off for weeks at a time in the winter.
