Mowing person wanted
Yesterday I had to sadly say goodbye to my lawn mowing lady Sharon, other commitments forced her to leave after 2 years.
So now I need a new person.
Lawns mowed generally every 2-3 weeks in late spring, summer and early autumn but every 3-4 weeks rest of year.
Clippings don't need to be taken away.
Reasonable cost please. Sharon received $15 for each mow.
Must be reliable, friendly, and trustworthy.
Extra money if also able to tend to front garden and back concrete area every so often when necessary ie pull out weeds etc.
Next mow due late September.
Please contact me if interested.
Many thanks.
Karen
PS I'm in Shannon place.
PSS I don't own a mower, sold mine many years ago after having asthma attack whilst mowing.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
