Ever paid someone?

And presumably as an expert she did it much quicker than you could too.

Nope, I had to pay for an extra hour as she hadn't finished the job I'd employed her to do.

£115 a month for 2.5 hours cleaning a week and 30 mins ironing. Includes agency fee as they have insurance, did reference checks etc before she started (although its been the same cleaner for 3 years now & I'd be happy to use her without the agency). Money well spent - used to hate spending my weekends cleaning & ironing.

£120 a month - 4 hrs cleaning and ironing a week. She does ALL ironing for me and my 3 kids. All cleaning. Changes beds, puts on washing, fills up dish washer. She's a god send. When she goes on holiday she gets her pal to cover. I couldnt live without a cleaner. Cheaper than a wife.

I once used the services of a girl who charged £150 an hour for stuff that I found tedious on my own. Sounds just like what you need. I never thought to ask if she would do the washing up. Damn.

Sounds expensive to me. Theres plenty of broke students around most cities.

I invite friends/relatives around to our house. Queencook goes on a cleaning spree

£10 an hour here in Wales.

Because:-

a) everyone here is skint.
b) everyone here is tight.

We have an ironing service, chap comes to pick it all up one day and delivers it back the next day on hangers £10 an hour, best money I spend all month.

I thought you said the best money was spending Spod's beer money on shoes?

Erm.... that as well

[psychocandy]

It’s in Essex, £10-12 is the going rate & I would rather pay a bit more for a reputable company, after all if they clean the place out, you could guarantee that my contents insurer would just say “well you gave them the key”

Yeh. Always worries me a bit.

Basically, you're giving access to your house to a stranger. Often wonder what insurance would say?

Have an affair with the cleaner. They are no longer a stranger. SIMPLES!!
