Good idea. Especially if you can find a nice slim blonde swedish one that prefers to do the cleaning without all that restrictive clothing.
The missus will soon realise it's better to get off her lazy arse and do the housework herself than continually worry you'll be giving the maid an extra tip on the side.
I used the same tactic with a young fit cleaner who was a friend of a friend. She lasted all of two weeks before the (then) missus clocked her and decided we didn't really need one.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

All my missus wanted was sleep, so go and buy her some (very expensive - not the cheap Tesco's tat) Egyptian cotton linen. Oh and make the bed yourself. 5 min job but it will buy you many late passes out after the birth. Sorted.Comment

My better half is 7 months pregnant, and ever so slightly emotional (the novelty factor has worn off with #2). So I'm looking for pressie suggestions, thinking maybe spa/facial type thing but done that before so something different would be more than welcome.Comment
