Re: Maid/cleaning services
ok,
Reading back on this thread, my most hypocritical post to date coming up:
Where can i get a trustworthy maid for about 3 days a week (2 hours ish per day)
Disclaimer:
1. My wife works long hours (10h+per day)
2. I work around the same
3. Our wee dog has black hair
4. Our tiles are white
5. I came home last night and spent 2 hours cleaning.
6. I am a lazy bugger
7. Kwality (with a capital K) husband and wife time should not be arguing over what floor in the villa to mop first. Although it has highlighted to me my wifes superb capability with a feather duster
this is a serious request. But i will talk to my maid and sometimes even allow her to help herself to water, but only between the hours of 12-2pm in the months of June/July and August. I shall engineer a straw mechanism that allows her to have 4 gulps per hour from the comfort of her cleaning cupboard

Not sure where you would get one. The last one that I called would only do a min of 4 hrs per session - which really takes the pee. Hopefully someone one here can point you in the right direction.

You can buy this from Ace hardware (or use a few tow-ropes linked together) and an dog collar can be bought from the pet store on SZR.

As mentioned before, we keep our house slave on a length of rope to ensure she does not escape and alert the authorities to her illegal status.
