    If you're any good at diy / gardening do up a good leaflet along with a fixed price details for small jobs such as fence painting, garden maintenance, small hosue jobs etc etc.

    Post it into a range of hosues - particularly the more mature estates (mortgages low or paid off) and see if anything comes.

    Most people have the impression that if they call someone, then they'll be ripped off, by putting your prices up front it will probably get a bit more notice.

    Great idea, especially with the summer coming in. Only problem is everything costs money to start off.

    well what are your strong points, entreprenuership would be the way to go but you'll need to know your strong points.

    Most houses would have garden tools & you simply agree to provide yourself as the workhorse.

    I had painters in a while ago & they gave me a list of paint to get. They came with just their brushes.

    Another option is to get 4/5 mates together and offer a lealet delivery service to retailers / restaurants / taxi services in the town @ approx. €60 per thousand.

    Darc is right about gardening. I have been looking for someone to do my garden for the past 2 months. The well established gardeners are to busy to do anything for me, or the charge an arm or a leg. The younger people dont want to do this manual work. So gardening would be the way to go.

    might be time to get a business off the ground.
    any one out there we can pimp?
    or any one who wants to bury their granny?

    two things that are recession proof- death and sex.

    seriously??? What is the point of that post? You come on here looking for some advice. You have been given some options and you don't seem the least bit interested in any of them!

    You asked how to survive in Carlow without a job? Have you tried looking for a job? Or are you just sitting on your ass taking the dole payments?

    I don't get annoyed easily but you are really p1ssing me off with your posts.
