There's a bulk bag of gravel and half a bulk bag of soil on our drive.

40m away, more importantly up 47 steps, is where the gravel and soil needs to be.

What's it's going to take to persuade assistance from two teenagers?

last bribe for my son was 4 x 2ltr bottles of pepsi.... (it was "can I borrow your car please since my bike fits in easier than it does in ours")

on the plus side I did get both lads to help shift a tonne and a half of sand/aggregate with the bribe of a takeaway 😀

Drugs and a handjob probably would have swung it for me....

Don't teenagers do that sort of thing willingly out of love and respect for their parents?

TBH, I reckon once you stop posting on here you'll go outside and they'll have just cracked on and got it done without being asked. 😁

I was outdoors already, and taking a breather from first lot of lugging....

Anyway, I'm off for a days canoeing, time to strike an agreement with the workers while we're out.

Son1 has just dug up the front garden but was bribed by the fact that he spent on my eBay account without errr noticing it was my paypal payment.

If you find out how - let me know. Moved nearly two tonnes of sand and gravel with no help from my pair. One I'll excuse due to health issues, but the other is a lazy sod. Given that he is living at home, not working and sponging of his parents, you think a few hours of labour would be appreciated.

Give them a big hug and reminisce about all the funny shit they did as nippers - shitting their nappies, etc. They'll realize how much they love you if you just agree to go the **** away and never broach the topic again (this is when catching them practicing active reading strategies with porno mags is money in the bank).
