She is working long hours 8-5 plus alternate Saturday mornings, but she enjoys the job and gets on well with the people she works with and for, plus the pay is much better than before so that's a big plus. Her Lovely Hub enjoys wielding the Dyson etc so shares stuff at weekends etc and their friends show that they appreciate them both ...

"she enjoys the job and gets on well with the people she works with" that's half the battle won. I 99% of the time love my job and my colleagues which keeps the times when it /they drive me crazy in perspective. 'm lucky I only have to go 2 days a week, I never forget how lucky I am.
Important to enjoy your job or at least earn enough to compensate if it's not that good.
Hosta - I expect you can do the sums but 10 day's hire would more than pay for your own machine. Ours is smaller but only cos I don't want it running away with OH when he's 70 and probably not as strong. At the rate we're going developing beds here we may need it till he's 80!

Bless, Wonky sounds as if she is doing far to good a job! send my best to please
just back from the greenhouse, my goodness it must have been cold last night. My tomatoes have all flopped. I am not puting any heating on at this time of year, will just have to keep 🤞

It aint half stony. I've just called the hire place to say I'll keep it for 24 hours, only £20 more. When we moved here there was a fence about 1.5m from the drive then a drop behind it so I've had to fill it in. After lunch I'll rake the soily top half (which was under turf) over the composty bottom half (where I build up the level with grass clippings and woodchip over the last 3 years) and re-mulch the top half then rotovate again.
@Obelixx, I did seriously think about buying one but in the 7 years we've been here, I've only hired one twice and I'm wary of buying second hand machinery as you never know A: how it's been treated previously ,and B; the real reason why it's being sold. You might end up buying something which someone else is glad to be seeing the back of.
