If I could get someone in for £20 a week, I would do so! Unfortunately, cleaners don't seem to be affected by the credit crunch round here and they are like gold dust!
I have done loads of ironing........and my MSE visitor has seen that I have been making an effort! Although I did not show here the remaining heap in the dining room.
When she arrived, there was a lawnmower fully assembled in the lounge......I know how to greet my guests
I will get to the bottom of the ironing pile today, if it kills me.......Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
I'm sure you're way ahead of me, but when I was looking for a cleaner, I put a card in the Post Office...nothing, as they're all too snobby around here. So I put a card in the Post Office in a village in a nearby designated 'deprived' area, and had a few calls. I also had lots of response to an ad on Gumtree. The lady that comes now though was a friend of the other girl from Poland that used to come but moved away - she said there were loads of her friends that would be happy to do it for us, even though we're quite a distance out of town. So without trying to sound racist or anything, I reckon Eastern Europeans are definitely the way forward - maybe a card in a Polish grocery in town or something, even better if written in Polish!0

If I can get the house into a reasonable state to start with, I will start to look for a cleaner.....but there is no point in doing that until I have got rid of most of the clutter and got on top of it.
It's a bit of a vicious circle really, isn't it!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

Passes Bravery Badge over to Hypno for 'Ironing above and beyond the call of duty'.:T Have a nice day with your MSE visitor and hope the pile has diminished to the size of non annoyance.:oBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

If you got a cleaning lady to come on a pre arranged date, would that not be incentive enough to get the house into a cleanable state?
