Hi WonkeyWomble, I was lucky to get £10 to £12.50p an hour and that was not long ago, probably 3 years ago. If they are good clients and pay well most people do not let these clients go.
Wow that's not good for self employed wage, think those customers were being unrealistic. Don't rule it out for the future completely, I started doing housekeeping half the time then as the gardening built up I dropped the housekeeping and just kept some ironing work which I charge £10 an hour for.
I think the best solution is to bide your time whilst you find somewhere more sutiable, where your talents are appreciated and not exploited. Then politely give notice and leave them to it.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Surely it's a simple case of individual negotiation. Unless you have a Union.

No, this is someone who I work for on an employed basis as a gardener. Unfortunately, the employer is non negotiable, thanks.
