We have got a cleaner.
I'm looking forward to having a more dust free house and a clean hob, but the hand wringing hysterical guardian reader in me feels terribly guilty about having someone else clean my house for me.

On the plus side, I'm helping an immigrant so that helps to assuage my middle class guilt.

It is the way forward. Who the fuck wants to clean?

I don't mind doing it, but I don't have time
after looking after a baby and then having your tea, you just want to sit down and watch some telly or read a book or sexually assault your life partner, not dust the blinds.

"the hand wringing hysterical guardian reader in me"
As a white man I have real issues with the idea of slavery.

yeah, but your paying her (I assume) so it's not slavery
it's this sort of attitude that makes you lefties look pretty thick

Really?
Because as a white man I think it's a jolly good idea. It's usually the blacks that don't like it.
( Kroney, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:39, Reply)

You know why?
inherently lazy and undisciplined

I'd pay them if I could rely on them to turn up on time.

He's having to confront the reality which is that he hates foreigners touching his possessions and worries that they'll steal his baby and eat her in a big smelly stew.
All the handwringing student liberal horseshit is just a massive exercise in denial. In reality he's a titanic racist, 15 miles to the right of NIgel Farage.

I ignore the big issue seller outside sainsburys
not because he's homeless and I hate his shitty magazine, but because I think he's albanian.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:43, Reply)

Yeah, terrible human traffickers, the Albanians.
Buy that magazine and you're supporting it.

are you going to do that thing where you clean up before they come to clean up anyway?

Nah, I'm going to pick my dirty clothes up off the floor
and hang up the clean ones though.

If I know Al*, he'll fan out a crescent of his skiddy pants on the duvet ready for Mishka to wash.


*to clarify, I do know Al

We have a cleaner
She's pretty overpaid and I don't think she works too hard

But on the other hand, she scrubs me toilet. And there's no way I'm going near that after what I do in there

Don't worry, your guilt will soon be replaced by fury at how much of your house is left uncleaned.
And also why they will inexplicably insist on moving certain items to a different location every time they visit.

Our cleaner keeps putting the bog roll on the bog roll holder, when I prefer to just have it on the side
She's a fucking monster
( Theoban What of it, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:47, Reply)

I'm not sure this is a good idea anymore.

(Bazongaloid, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:51, Reply)

Nah your bog ends up clean and she'll probably mop down the kitchen and hoover up
just she'll nick some jewellery too and maybe leave a big bum egg in the bog
( Theoban What of it, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:53, Reply)

She'll also insist on washing some dishes, even if there are none that need washing.
And nothing above the height of the kitchen work surfaces will ever get cleaned.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Thu 16 May 2013, 10:59, Reply)

Ours takes all the dishes she finds in the flat and just dumps them in the sink
I dunno why she does that, I want them putting in the dishwasher :(:(:(:(
