The simplicity of my day to day.

Prompt: What do you think is the most economical way to get work done? Do it yourself? Barter? Hire someone? If you've done a project recently, could you give us some ideas to help us tackle our own future projects easier.

Well in monetary terms doing it yourself is the way to go, but only of course if you are able to do it. I keep telling my husband the time is coming when we’ll have to employ someone to help with our big garden. He’s definitely banned from roofs and ladders now but we’re fortunate in having a strong son-in-law who is happy to help out (if my husband agrees to let him)
It’s difficult to come to terms with having to outsource anything when you’ve always been able to do it yourself.
If I had the choice and the money these are the things I’d outsource.
Window cleaning
Oven cleaning
Car cleaning
Mopping
I don’t mind vacuuming, in fact I find it therapeutic 😂
