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.
