Originally posted by psychocandy View PostNot wanting to generalise but having had 4 cleaners now heres the things I've found out.
1) If they've got money that week, they won't turn up.
2) If they've got something better to do that week, they won't turn up.
3) They think its perfectly acceptable to cancel at 9pm the night before because tomorrow is they're birthday.
4) They really are experts at making up excuses for not turning up.
5) Turning up 30 mins late and leaving 30 mins early for a 2 hour job is OK.
6) If you ask them politely why they didnt clean this or that, they'll just quit (i.e. found out).
7) They think they're your best friend ever (one even found a pregnancy test in the bin and came straight out and asked the mrs is she was pregnant - we hadnt even told family at that point -bit intrusive that conversation!).The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

1. To turn up roughly on time (i.e. AM or PM) with no set start time.
2. Perform the cleaning for roughly the time paid for.
3. Let me know if they can't make it.
4. Let me know if they dont want to do it anymore.
Not a lot then.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

I have had a cleaner for the past 3 years, 1st company closed when owners retired & they recommended an alternative who has been fine, never had a non-show, they generally turn up about the same time every week – but TBH this is not an issue as BGG & I are at work.
They have been very helpful & leave relevant comments in the book, at crimbo & easter I leave her some chocolate

Have you thought of getting your wife/gf to do the cleaning ???Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment
