The practical side of living alone

For a start I'd buy smaller bags of compost.
Do you have a window cleaner? ask him to do the gutters.
I would buy logs cut to size.

Well, for a start, stop going up ladders! Lol! Keep your mobile on your person, switched on, not on mute and charged up in case you need help. I’m going to invest in a “buddi “ worn like a watch which sets off alerts if you have a fall.
Friends on their own I know, keep a running list of jobs that need help so when friends come they can help.
An lady I knew was told to leave heavy bags in garden but, oh no, had to do it. She tore a muscle in her shoulder and, even after surgery, was never free of pain.
Don’t take any risks and ask for help would be my advice

I had trouble lifting 20 litre bags of topsoil and my mattress luckily just needs swivelling round which I can manage, i do have a window cleaner and am lucky that have big strong Grandsons who would willingly help but I try not to ask them. Do you have a neighbour or friend you could ask? Usually people are willing to help as long as it’s just occasionally.
