        I think you'll need another year and a lie down in a dark room to get over the experience now Jarvis :roflol:

                    That's OK. :dbgrtmb: He probably works for the complaints department at a power or telephone company. They take at least a year before they do anything! ;) :heehee:

                            By day I am a Garden Maintenance Man (mostly cutting grass and hedge trimming) and by night I am a Care assistant in a residential home for dementia patients. I do both part time ;)

                              Three things - be easy to get along with (which you've sorted), so that customers will call you back; do what you said you were going to do and at the price stated; leave the place tidy.

                              Word of mouth will get you more and more work.

                              A very worthwhile job working in a dementia care home - you're making a real difference to people's lives. :dbgrtmb:

                                Yeah customers are always saying how polite I am and how easy going I am (that's just how I am) basically I'm just terrible at naming flower's and the like which doesn't always look great being a gardener :help:

                                And I do enjoy working in the care home I am in but it's mentally and psychically draining (hard to explain). It's a rewarding job knowing your helping them and that your there to ease them in there final days, but it does take its toll on you sadly.

                                Thanks for advice :thumbsup:
