I've heard that there is a scheme where you can get someone to do a job for you (say DIY) and in return you can do something for them (say hairdressing). No money changes hands its just a case of a favour for a favour. I've forgotten what it's called, does anybody know? Or do you know of any useful websites where I can get this info. it may have something to do with the council, but I don't know for sure. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
You need to make sure you dont actually get paid to do these jobs, more a "favour for a favour" type of thing, otherwise you'll have Mr Tax Man beating at your door.
