DF got a call from the man, P, who we bought our house from, asking DF if he would be able to sand their deck. As luck would have it, DF is free this weekend so he said yes. When DF said he would have to call him back with a price, P said 'Don't worry about it, I trust you, just tell me the price when you finish.' He also said he would give DF cash (as in, no tax! no declaring income! woo!).

First of all, P is a builder, so I am sure he has loads of contacts when it comes to sanding and sealing floors and decks. So it's nice that he thought of us.

As I've said in previous posts, he IS actually a really nice guy, so is his wife. I went there today to help DF for a couple of hours, their house is gorgeous. It's fairly big (but not ridiculously big) with huge grounds and gorgeous gardens. It's very much what you would call 'an estate'.

They actually live on the same road as us too, only further up.

Anyway, so that is about $800 extra we will have made this week, for two days work. DF will be giving some of it to his dad, probably around $200 (who owns all the equipment) and then we will use the rest for spending money (groceries, petrol etc). We will use $400 from our accounts for a personalised plate for DF's car (already talked about it ages ago - we also get a $50 voucher for free when we get a PP) and the other $200 for my fine

I'm also going to drastically reduce my personal spending money and find as many good deals grocery-wise to make up for my fine, too.

Anyway, I just wanted to write about it, because I thought it was nice for P and his wife to think of us!
