    i dunno about the PS2 USB adaptor thingy, my sister pointed out that i would need one too, but i'm fairly sure it must come with one...

    Glad to help SRM!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

  • How many hours is this for a month for a cleaner? I'd love one, but could never afford one (not sure I'd ever feel comfortable having it done for me, even though I am a lazy mare when it comes to cleaning :o ), is it £100 for 8 hours a month or 16? If it's 8 hours a month - I might become a cleaner! :rotfl:
    We-ell... I pay the cleaners £7 each for 1 hour, and I pay the agency (sort of - a one-woman band) something like £3.30 an hour - so it's actually a little less, something like £90 a month on average, for 8 hours (average)

    But if I was just paying a cleaner then I would happily pay £10 an hour, I think it is a bloody hard job, and they iron too - you could probably get a bit more if you included things like washing, or dog walking.

    hi everyone,

    Maz, Singstar Abba is great was 'performing' at friends on Saturday, if anyone has a Wii and wants a game that is great for all but a blast when p'd then get 'Salsa de Amigo' and shake it all about.

    Sammy, I'd like a Polish au pair but OH wouldn't approve:D ( no wonder you need a cleaner if you had retired to the Library to let them get on ).

    12 hours of dodging idiots on the London roads again, why do people let a moped go by and pull out smack in front of 44 tonnes????
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Is that good shocked, or bad shocked BB? OH gets £10 cleaning in mornings but will be jacking in the job at After School Club to take on 3hrs a week at £15!! and two mornings a month for £150...cant say I blame her. I only get £13 hourly for driving HGV.

    Is that good shocked or bad shocked BB? I only get £13 for driving HGV, unsociable hours. OH cleans at private houses for £10 ph and will be giving up After School Club job for 3 hours a week at £15ph and two mornings a month for £150, cant say I blame her.

    Maybe I should go cleaning too? Or a gigolo:rolleyes:

    edit, was it me or did MSE just fall off for a mo'?
