Ever paid someone?

If you want a cleaner try and get one by word of mouth.

The cleaning companies tend to have a high turnover of staff simply because it's not that hard to set up as a cleaner yourself. So for a few months you will have a good one then suddenly the cleaning of your house won't be done properly.

Virtually all cleaners use the products and equipment in your home.

Thats my experience with office cleaners. They get complacent very easily.

It was a joke, the help is beneath me and not literally.

Ah ok. Perhaps spend the time writing some new material then

Next you'll be thinking I write here for others enjoyment rather than my own! The most important person thought it was funny.

I just spent the last 2 hours snoozing on the sofa, the housework remains undone

You could have paid me to have a nap for you while you did the housework

The Mrs had someone at £15 per hour to come around and clean. Of course she'd tidy up before the cleaner came around as well. :

That sounds quite expensive. On my local forum people are saying £25 for 3 hours.

That's why we got rid of her. When she turned up in a Bentley to clean our house she had to go!

Yeap, make sure they have fresh products just for you. Remind them not to use the same cloth in your kitchen and your bathrooms (let alone previous client's bathrooms).

Funny you should say that, the women who owns the local sandwich shop sometimes has to deliver the sandwiches herself. She turns up in a convertible audi.

I was offered to pay someone in the Docks in Plymouth, 40 quid she said for a blow job, I misheard 14 quid, so I said another quid for the tip, but I did it anyway (1984 ref there)...

Except I didn't - prossies freak me out, I just get embarrassed...
