    Please don't stop paying her, if she's anything like me she needs the money she gets from cleaning! :rotfl:

    Thanks MinniMe :)

    It would be lovely wouldn't it!

    I just go for the somewhere in between option - I don't pay anyone to do it and also avoid doing it myself as best I can!

    Breakfast at Tiffany's has just played on the radio and brought a smile to my face :)

    Instantly transported back to Namibia. I had had to go to the nearest town about 2 hours drive away from our village and have a root canal done by a dentist who only spoke Afrikaans, that was fun!

    We were driving back, the sun was setting and we were bouncing down a pot-holed road in a pick-up, drinking beer and wailing along to that song.....ahhh bliss. :)

    The money that I lost from not having regular hours at the pub over the time it is till I am debt-free if that makes sense?

    I was trying to keep track to see if I manage to make the same amount of money from random shifts and surveys etc, so not so much a fund as what I have earnt doing that since August.

    Not going too well! :o
