"My gardening skills are non existent but sit me down in front of Frozen and I'm sorted"

I put a leaflet through the doors round my street offering to baby sit, pet sit or house sit for a donation towards my gap year. 

As soon as I put the leaflet through the door I got a response! Susan asked how my gardening skills were, and as I said they were "okay..." she said that if I cleaned their garden up a bit, they would give me a donation. 
So today, I went up in my wellies to do some gardening! I cannot garden. It was a very difficult and stressful experience. Phrases like "is that a plant or a weed?" "why do leaves hurt so much?" "I'm pretty sure that's not a rake." "Is that cat urine or rain?" "I CAN'T REACH" were very common. But I managed! And after a very stressful three hours I managed! 



Another family asked if I would babysit for them. Much easier than gardening! Getting to watch Frozen was definitley a highlight and they went off to bed no problem. 

Thank you to Susan and Ian and to the Bloomers for your donations!
