    Good Morning :wave:

    Very cold and frosty here -3 :eek:

    altojack snow boots will be going on and I will be wrapping up warm :D

    See you enjoyed yourself doing the solo nightshift :cool: :rotfl:

    Hornetgirl enjoy your holidays :)

    I woke very very early and got bored so thought I'd catch up :rotfl: thank goodness you are going to wear the correct footwear today. We don't want you doing down on your bumski :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Thanks for confirming my thoughts tweets, not very well up on what cleaners earned years ago nor now come to think of it :D xx

    You are welcome . Later I could find old wage slips from when I cleaned and see what pay was. But you will have to remind me to look please .

    That's it better get going :wave:

    Morning all.




    I am sure there are lots of us that would help you recycle them on here but obviously better for you if you can sell them. Did you just offer to send the code via email, or post it out? I believe you have to have something tangible, so have to post the voucher to the buyer (or at least say you are posting them it even if that is after also emailing them the code)
    Thanks Dave, I think that could be it.
    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.

    I've joined the 5:2 club cos mrT made me eat 1p chocolate.

  • Good morning all.

    The first post I saw today was 56302, followed by several quotes, so forgive me if I don't read back today :rotfl::rotfl:

    Years ago? But how many years ago? £5 - £8 for a cleaner years ago I was thinking was a good rate of pay when you look at what some council paid, cleaners, kitchen staff get paid now. Or am I behind the times :rotfl: :rotfl: No I don't have a cleaner :cool: :rotfl:

    Difficult thing for cleaners is that they have to travel between jobs during the day and that takes time out when they could be working. I found it far easier to get a cleaner to do 4 hours once a week rather than 2 hours twice a week.

    As for rates of pay, each area seems to be different. So what is good pay in one area may be rubbish a few miles away.

    Morning Everyone :)

    Didn't sleep very well last night. Had a dream that DD2 had gone off to Birmingham on the train but only had a one-way ticket and couldn't get back so had to stay all night on her own on the streets. For some reason I couldn't get there to pick her up. Now, wonder why I dreamt that! :rotfl::rotfl:
