I want a grass cutter. I would deffo pay for it as it would save so many rows in our house.

Nobody nobody nobody will do it since I broke my back. DH, DS and DD all think that long grass is acceptable and I hang my head in shame!!!

I pay for a window cleaner, it costs £3 per fortnight - they only clean the glass though, so the window frames are filthy, and I daren't lean out of the upstairs windows to clean them. I'm thinking of getting the extending poles and doing them myself, although our window cleaner is a bit scary looking and I'm not looking forward to 'sacking' him lol!

£3 a fortnight for a window cleaner here too, and he does do the frames (at least he does when I am home and watching!!). I live on a main road and the windows get filthy if they aren't done regularly.

My friend just sacked her window cleaner as she was paying £15 a week! :eek:

£15 a week??? I'd want my whole house cleaning for that!!

How much a week EEEEEEEEEEEEk. What is he cleaning. Buckingham palace. You are being ripped off big time. my window cleaner was 7.00 a fortnight. And that upstairs downstairs and in my ladies chamber as well. I do them now. Well sometimes. I say let the rain do it.

That's what I said - apparently because her windows are those kind with lots of little bitty windows, they are more expensive to clean. I told her I would clean her windows for £15 a week! I only need a ladder!

I used to pay £6 a month to get the windows cleaned but the guy got really slack so I 'let him go' just after Christmas.

I have since bought an extendible pole & washer/dryer squeegee thing (from B & Q) and will do it myself. My first attempt (2 weekends ago) was after a pigeon left a dirty great poo on the bedroom window!

It's OK - very easy to use but the "rinsing" bit will take a bit of practice as there are some streaks/water marks left on the windows but big deal.

I cant get a window cleaner round here so i have to do them myself, the downstairs ones are easy, and most of the upstairs ones arnt too bad if i sit on the window sill and lean out :arrgh !!

I do have one little window though that is a top opening only and i cant clean that one
