Is this programme repeated at all? I missed this one“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. Your really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” Lucille Ball.0

Hi,
although it is not very money saving I employ a cleaner.
We have spent a fortune doing the house up but I was always unhappy because I felt I couldn't keep on top of the cleaning/washing/putting clothes away etc. I have a 4 bedroom house with 3 lounges.
I have 3 children and work.
The cleaner comes once a fortnight for 3 hours.
Can't tell you the help this has been to me. I give her the jobs I hate such as cleaning the windows etc. I obviously still have to do some cleaning but it has made a big difference.
Justify the expenditure by reminding myself that I don't smoke or drink and don't spend a lot on designer clothes etc.
Pay £20 per fortnight. Best money I have ever spent.
Regards

Three kids and a job? And don't smoke, drink or buy expensive gear?
You deserve a cleaner
I'd have one myself but like some of the others have said, I'd have to clean up for the cleaner coming0 -

I think Cheryl would probably hyperventilate (like Divadee earlier on today
) if she was watching How Clean is Your House on CH4 just now, I think I'm going to heave. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeuchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Lard everywhere, cockroaches, s**t everywhere. How on earth can people live like that, I know a bit of dirt is ok but it's just pure squalor. _pale_ I know some of those people who appear on the show have their problems but there are some, they are just lazy b@stards. Unbelievable.
OMG - she had 17lbs of old used, scummy fat/lard come out of her kitchen. Puke!!!!!!!!!!!!“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.” - Oscar Wilde0 -
Can't read this thread too depressing...Life is more than the accumulation of domestic tasks!
The house is cleaned thouroughly once a week and little joobs everyday.
BTW Divadee, "spring cleaning" as indicated in the name is for once a year type of cleaning... not every other day.I lost my job as a cricket commentator for saying “I don’t want to bore you with the details”.Milton Jones0 -
