Miguel Sanchez Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just now, Cardinal Richelieu said: Perhaps because I carried on for a couple of years with it after (before finally admiitting I was shite at it). Kincy is right though.. I'm sure after a couple of days you'd be back in the swing of things. I never understood maths or French in the first place, I'm not going to do any better eight and nine years removed (respectively). After looking at my papers I think the most shocking thing is that Lanark by Alasdair Gray was one of the set texts in advanced higher English. f**k knows what would happen if you tried to teach that to 17 year olds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember you could get great big ones. Am I recalling incorrectly? This size?

Anyway, onto my question... I've finally decided to herald my middle-class status and celebrate holding down a job for a week by getting a cleaner. I was in a bit of a quandary whether to give them the keys and let them get on with it, or whether I should be there during the event. I didn't really fancy having a complete stranger going through my underwear drawer, so opted for the latter. But here's the thing. I'm going to feel a bit of a p***k sitting there like a Lord of the Manor while they're cleaning up after me. So what would be an acceptable activity to engage in while they are cleaning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Heh. Wondered how long it would take someone take to say "have a w**k" and it was the first point. Kudos Deej. I like your idea NJ, but I can't really shite for an hour, plus they're going to have to clean the toilet at some point (God help them). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keys is the only answer. Just ask for a couple of references and proof of ID and home address. Unless you've got wads of cash lying about, they're not going to nick anything. Your shite ain't worth f**k all on the black market. I hate being in when our cleaner comes round. As you say, it somehow makes you feel like a p***k sitting about while they work. I work from home a couple of days a week and even if I'm absorbed in my laptop it still makes me feel a lazy beggar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that the purpose of employing a cleaner was that you were working and therefore didn't have the time to do your own cleaning. Given that you have got time to sit and watch the cleaner perhaps you should just do it yourself instead of being a pretentious w****r? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cleaner is coming tomorrow at 3pm. I'll let her in, then disappear to the gym for a couple of hours while she gets on with it. First time using the new cleaner, who's actually a friend of mine, as the old one got the punt being generally shite and putting her prices up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 At my first job in London I had to work alternate Saturdays. The cleaners would be in working away in the morning. They looked like a troupe of Carribbean strippers. They'd be crawling about on desks, reaching up to clean blinds etc. It was tremendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place is always spotless for her turning up. Missus got one of those cordless Dyson things the other day so crumbs etc are gone within milliseconds of them hitting the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
