I'm a mature white English bachelor recently ceased trading after running/owning three businesses living by myself with no close family and having slight intermittent health problems, i'm fairly mobile so can manage cooking, walking short distances, personal care etc, i like to keep my mind active and don't watch daytime television. I'm looking to employ a person of any race/religion/age who would visit as and when required to carry out simple domestic tasks/local shopping, running errands also for companionship, conversation, perhaps playing cards, chess (i can teach) etc. As the work is occasional on an as and when required basis i'm willing to pay minimum £20-£25 per hour or part of an hour ie one and a half hours would be rounded up to two, if female there is no objection if you prefer someone to accompany you who would also receive some payment.
