Kijiji Connections

Here's my first response to my Christmas decorating ad:

Jakeman: ill let u clean long as u wear that shirt in your picture lol

Jessie: WOW. That's a good idea, I should change the pic to be a little more covered up :P. Gross boy!

Jakeman: take that as a no?

Jessie: Yes, that is a no. But I'd be happy to send my fiance over to clean your place...wearing my summer tank top.

Here's my ad on Kijiji:

Hi there!

Too busy to put up your Christmas decorations? Wish someone would just do it for you :)?

My name is Jessie McGrath. I am in my mid-twenties and I love holiday decorating. I have experience decorating homes and offices for Christmas. I would love to come to your place and put up your decorations for you!

I offer the following services:

• assembling and decorating Christmas trees - real and artificial
• stringing lights
• assembling garland displays, nativity scenes, etc.
• anything else that needs to be done to make your house look inviting and festive :)!

I charge $15.00 an hour and I am available on Saturdays and Sundays in November and December 2011.

Please feel free to write back to this ad or call 292-2260!

Hope to hear from you soon and...Merry Christmas!
