catmag 336 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 CT man, you don't do the cleaning as a hobby!! I hate cleaning but totally keep on top of it. Being a single mam and working full time means it's a total pain in the arse, The last thing I want to do when I finish work is start doing chores but no-one else is going to do it and it would take no time at all before the place is manky. Maybe come September when I'm not paying nursery fees any more I might treat myself to a cleaner, although by then the bairn won't be around during the day to "help" (hinder) me so I'll actually have the time and space to do it.

Marvellous Marvin Magler 0 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wondering if any of these cleaners give 'extras'? A polished knob or a blow job now and again might be worth an extra fiver methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Our cleaner gets £20 for 2 hours work, every Monday. She only does the kitchen, the bathrooms, the hallways and the lounge/dining room. We provide the equipment, but to be fair she does a cracking job. She'll do washing up and any ironing that you leave out. When we've had big parties she's been happy to come over and do a deeper clean, but that's extra. (£20 isn't that much considering it's London) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My cleaner comes in one morning a week and gets paid fuck all for it. Mind you she's been getting mothers days presents for the last thirty odd years so it's about time she stepped up to the plate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 We don't have a cleaner. My girlfriend is a translator and interpreter, working from home and away on a vaguely regular week on/week off pattern. When she's home, great, she cleans whilst I'm at work. When she's away...carnage. It gets particularly bad when this coincides with me being on a run of long days or nights. Her train back always gets in at midnight, so before I pick her up there's usually a mad dash around the flat to make it look acceptable, which sometimes makes me late to the station, particularly if I've been in the pub until half 11 like I was last week.

The Fish 8989 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It makes sense for couples/families who're out all day, but if CT is home a lot of the time, I'm not sure why he doesn't just do it himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Says a lad who probably still pays board and has his Jim jams ironed for him Working 50 plus hours a week and being a full time parent with a small child is anything but lazy like. Aye right you patronising twat. Even funnier as well due to the sheltered life you had lead until discovering the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26830 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm considering this idea myself as my Missus has mobility problems that have deteriorated a bit over the last few years, but three things are putting me off: 1. I hate wasting money 2. It smacks of laziness 3. CT and Gemmill have either done it or thought about doing it. So I guess wor lass will just have to struggle on. (I'll just have to do it when I've time/on a rest days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the needy two year old Genera entertaining and continuing clearing up after them, changing nappies, feeding, taking to park etc leaves very little time to do much else that surface clean. That said I am putting a "system" in place to try and do it. Much to the amusement of the rest of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
