To those who have a cleaner...
Yes, I know this is MSE but I know I'm not the only one here who has a cleaner! Just wondering, what do you do to prepare for the cleaner coming? I tidy up every room, empty all the bins, and clean the toilets. My OH thinks I'm mental ("isn't that what we pay her for?!") but I can't bear the thought of her having to clean…

Do you have an ottoman bed? Do you like it?
I got caught up in a 'bargain' bed from Tesco thread that was posted on hotdeals around a year ago. I bought it and it was anything but a bargain. Biggest waste of money, cheap rubbish. It was 'only' a single bed for my daughter and she's only 12 and a size 8 so it did her for wee while but she's uncomfortable now and we…

Does anyone have an ancestry.co.uk account to look up a death date for me?
I am trying to find out if an old friend that I lost touch with some time ago is still alive. Ancestry gives the same name in the same town she lived in, but of course, because I'm not a member, tantalisingly few details. It's not worth me taking out a membership (and I'm in massive money-saving mode this month!), so if…
