I'm in need of a person to help us with our winter preparation, after having a 4 month lay off with my shattered ankle we are very behind and struggling to catch up. Probably about two or three days work total .
We can offer a bed and all meals plus some cash in exchange for some musclepower.

Too far for me unfortunately... :(

Thank you kind folk , but , this will be 2/3 days hard graft , and needs a good strong, fit young , student type in need of cash that knows how to push a wheelbarrow through deep mud. :innocent:

Try the Help Exchange - HelpX. They will probably have someone available promptly, or even two people as they often travel together. Then once they've done the work they can stay on for a couple of days to enjoy your hospitality, without money needing to change hands. It didn't work for us, I think because we had them for a whole month at a time, with no break in between. But for just a few days or a week it would be ideal. I'll see if I can find the actual URL

One condition though....
At some point may I have a bath please :eyelashes: :eyelashes: :eyelashes: [size=78%] [/size]Only thing I have missed since giving up on normality :D
-
I'll even help bath you,
:innocent:
But this job will call for some serious muscle power upwards of 150 barrows of heavy stuff to be moved through deep mud , believe me , you will need several baths afterwards ....and probably an osteopath.
Thanks Fleecewify , I'll have a look at that website , probably find a strapping gert wench or two , they might be in need of a bath......

Whoever is able to help Doug and Gabi will (if they so wish) receive a free mini hamper of Its Baaath Time goodies so that they can enjoy said bath ;) Wish I could help Doug but am kind of stuck with 4 kids and too many animals - hope you get some help soon :)
-
Many thanks Plums, you're a darling , I've put an add on Helpx, so we'll see what turns up,
Coliewoman if you want to come for a break and a bath or three you are more than welcome.
-
cw, cant you have lots of baths while mike does the work?? after all he is a strapping lad.
-
But alas, we can't both be away at the same time due to the animals ;)
I really am very handy with a barrow though and am very good at mud wrestling :-J
-
Colliewoman- if you think you want to struggle with the wheelbarrow, we would be more then grateful but we do not want you to get hurt. I just cannot do it, well i can but only about 2-3 forkfulls of muck in the barrow and then it takes me forever to push and pull the barrow through the mud, all this rain did not help.
Usually I fill the barrows and Doug empties them but he just cannot do it, his foot looks like a balloon even without pushing barrows.
-
;D Well I can always give it a go eh? I'm sure OH would be glad to see the back of me for a few days, and someone elses mud would make a change from mine :roflanim:
You don't need to pay either, feed me and let me have a bath or 2 and that'll practically be a holiday as far as I am concerned :excited: :excited:
-
Unfortunately am busted up myself otherwise would have loved to come and help.......could have plaster off 2 wks but 9 months on got to be careful ::) sincerely wish i could be of some use :thumbsup:
