Anyone want to trim our hedge for a few quid?

Recommended Posts

One of our recent housemates left, taking their hedgetrimmer with them so this is a request to see if someone can do it for us for a few quid.


We are on one of the roads branching off the bottom of Lordship Lane (no pun intended!). I won't put the exact address on this public bit but if you can help out obviously I will give the address. Although you might already be able to guess if you've gone past pur house and been appalled at the state of it!


Someone asked last year if we wanted to pay him a tenner to do it so quite happy to offer this again?


Please send me a private message if you are able/would like to help. Thanks

As an update on this, I ended up finding a pair of shears to do it manually. The problem now is I have bags of hedge trimmings (and also old suitcases left outside by previous tennants) to get rid of to make the front of our house look a bit nicer.


I don't know certain services of Dulwich very well. Is there a public rubbish tip or somewhere like thwt near by where i can take all my hedge trimmings and get rid of these suitcases?

The Reuse and Recycling Centre (RRC) is located at 43 Devon Street, off Old Kent Road


http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/10070/recycling/1364/reuse_and_recycling_centre


From 4 May 2015, only Southwark residents will be able to use the Reuse and Recycling Centre at Devon Street.

All visitors will need to show proof of residence when they arrive at the RRC as follows:


Current UK Driving Licence OR


Two of the following forms as proof of your address: a council tax bill, utility bill, or a recent bank statement


You can take virtually anything there.

Garden waste.. Put in Brown bin or recycle for compost at the recycling centre.


You could take the suit cases to to the charity shop if they are serviceable.

Hi


southwark council take away 'rubbish' (things like fridges, freezers, carpets etc) for free, you can book a bulk collection online or over the phone. As someone else said, put the hedge clippings in the brown recycling bin, if you don't have one, ask Southwark for one, and in the meantime, ask a neighbour if you can use theirs.


If you rent, then your landlord should provide you with the correct tools to do the garden.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
