Hi there,


whilst our regular cleaner was away for two months this summer, we used Amy and her daughter-in-law who were recommended by 'apenn' here on the forum in June. Amy's English is a bit limited, but her cleaning was fab and anything I wanted done extra I could just write in a note which she got translated by her son and voila. Amy has several grandchildren and was very keen to come and help out with my baby (who is due very shortly) so I am sure she would be great with kids and chaos... Her number is 07525 750468 and she was charging ?8p/h.

Hi,


Our cleaner Fernanda is amazing, she loves our son Rosco and was one of the first people to meet him! I regularly used to answer the front door to her in my bra and when he was tiny and I was struggling she would play with him while I got ready in the morning! Now I'm (mostly) on top of things but she's very considerate of his naps etc still and always has a cuddle for him. Her number is 07961874801.

My cleaner is really good and she has really good contact with my doughter also she has son 3 years old so she loves kids, someimes she look after our dougter, she comes with her son and they playing each other, she is Polish girl but her english is very good, if you still looking for a cleaner or nanny she is perfect, her no: 07849227568
Be a bit wary of the recommendation above from Susanne2001 - posting history shows her advertising her services (under the name Marta) as a dog walker, as well as claiming to be called Susanne and recommending her cleaner called Marta in another section!

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
