After a full day and with all the preparation you have a full workload as it is. Free up some time for yourself.

Good for you.... You don't need to feel guilty at all, quite the contrary, you'll be helping someone by providing a job or at least a means for someone to earn a little extra. :o) A win-win situation, I reckon. :o)<br />Have a good day!

Diane is right though, certainly improved my tidyness! <br /><br />Mine used to do 2 hrs a week, on Friday morning, I shopped, he cleaned (yes, he!)It was wonderful to start the weekend with a clean and tidy house!<br /><br />We were very lucky because we could trust him with a key.Annabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-42200755578738964912013-09-09T08:37:35.595+01:002013-09-09T08:37:35.595+01:00I don't think it makes much difference to be h...I don't think it makes much difference to be honest. I used to have a weekly day which kind of messes up each week this way I get a week off if you get my meaning.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669768223716648231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-12306935712883327482013-09-09T07:21:39.912+01:002013-09-09T07:21:39.912+01:00Good points, thank you.

I have 2 hours per fortnight which just breaks the back of the cleaning and you will have to tidy up ready for the cleaner so it helps you to keep tidy.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669768223716648231noreply@blogger.com
