Does anyone know who will clean out the guttering around our house?

We seem to have as many things growing there as there are in our garden. LOL!;)

Thanks for any help given...

Its easy - all you need is a ladder, a broom and a trowel. Get up the ladder, use the broom to pull stuff towards you a,d then trowel it into a bucket (that you can tie to the rungs) or heave it onto the patio/path/grass for clearing up later.

Thanks, but would rather pay someone to do it for me. Not keen on ladders and hubby has just knackered his back fixing the car.

His back is dodgy at the best of times, so lying down looking at something under the car put it out. He was at the Osteopath yesterday and is in even more pain..."No Pain No Gain" as I sympathetically told him. He has to go again next week, poor wee lamb.
