Hi.
Is anybody free and looking for some pocket money before Christmas?
We have this pile of soil which needs to be moved to the back garden - this is a surprise for my husband who is doing everything and it is too much - he is away from Monday to Sunday next week, so this job needs to be completed by Saturday evening.
$500 for the job - you can do it all week if you want as long as it is done by Saturday.
Thank you.
