My Mitsubishi Mariage needs to be waxed. I have done it several times in the past, but due to a shoulder injury it would take me too long to do it myself. That is why I need someone to help me.

While I live in Newtown, I can take the car to you if you please. With 2-people waxing the car, it should not take more than 2 hours to finish. I'll pay you $50 for your help.

If interested, please send me your phone number or email address through this website. Thank you.

"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.
