I am an accountant so can help with financial things

I am close to both Aldi and Morrisons on the Basingstoke Road in Reading, and visit them fairly regularly. If you need something only available from those stores, and are not near a branch yourself, I can purchase for you and bring to the next meeting.

5 Bricks per trip plus reimbursement of cost of item(s).

If you need any advice for purchasing or maintaining a PC, or if you need me to help fix a problem or upgrade your computer I'd be happy to help.  I deal with PCs / laptops only.  Not Mac.  I'm a software developer by trade, and have built several of my own PCs over the years.

I am a mature, experienced Nanny and Foster Carer offering Babysitting / child minding services on ad hoc basis.

Bricks will depend on length of time and age of children. Overnight possible.

Very reliable and trustworthy.

I can make for you specific shapes of containers, bags, boxes and baskets. For example, you have a particular space in your camper and you want a laundry bag that just fits in there; or if you want to protect fruit plants in your garden from being eaten by birds I can make you a dome that allows the light in. I also make lampshades. All material is upcycled.

My speciality is carrot cake

Do you suddenly need a battery charger for your car, enough to get you to the garage/battery seller or to move your car out of the way at home?

I love cats and it would be my pleasure to help out.

Cat feeding.

I can alter clothing to fit or undertake simple repairs. Any fabric/materials required would need to be provided, and you would need to come to me for a fitting.

I will need to see the garment to determine whether the alteration/repair is possible. Contact me for more details.

No complex special occasion garments (e.g. multi-layer wedding dresses, prom dresses etc.) and no zip replacement in jeans or jackets - I have retired from all this! But I will do straightforward hems/taking in for evening dresses.

I ran my own business as a dressmaker and alterationist for 15 years, recommended by bridal salons to their customers, so I have plenty of experience.

I can collect a prescription for someone local (I am based in Harmanswater Bracknell).  Bricks dependant on distance.

I can help you with Microsoft
