Cleaner, and there's a local ironing business who come and take your ironing away to do.
Would have a window cleaner but we keep waiting for one to come and put a card through the door and he never does.

Gardner and window cleaner. We could do with an Au Pair but I'm worried if she's fit and I'd had a few.... David Beckham or Jude Law springs to mind... in fact she probably doesn't have to be that fit thinking about it
