    Help

    I urgently need someone to help me put things order in the house and garden, I need to do personally but to have someone help me would make it far lighter work. I need general help around the house like spring cleaning and tidying on a daily basis and, do the daily chores. Help with gardening, such as weeding and digging, , tidying stuff up from in the yard and the garden and lifting things as I have a back issue, etc but we are open to people´s abilities such as general maintenance and repairs, maybe painting walls and.woodwork , time to time as well as sharing cooking duties. Making and Looking after the raised beds with vegetables would be handy. They re only little. The garden needs some work, There are always plenty of things to be done.
    You need to be over 26 years of age. Have a valid driving licence to be able to drive my car. I also welcome people who come with their own transport.
