Hiya,


I am due in a week now and would like to get a temporary cleaner asap. Does anyone know of anyone trustworthy and thorough that wants a bit of extra work after Christmas? Alternatively are there any businesses out there that offer these services on a temporary basis? I can't be the only one finding it a bit too much despite not working (sounds so lazy!!!)


There is a chance this may lead to a permanent position (if it were wanted) - My previous cleaner left about November and I didn't replace her as I couldn't justify the expense given I had stopped work by then, however, I will go back to work at some stage so if someone was really good I wouldn't be adverse to keeping them on :-)


Thanks


Clare


Edited to say I would like someone asap on a weekly basis from now until the baby is at least a few weeks old - so probably around 6 weeks. I think 3 hours a week would be the right amount of time.

I got a "temporary" cleaner just before I had my son... 3 years later and I still have a "temporary" cleaner :))


We get our cleaners through Selclene Dulwich - have had 3 in the 3 years - first one not so good but wasn't a problem at all to change to a different one. The one we have now has been with us for over 18 months and I can honestly say it's the best money I spend every week. When you've got kids it's hard enough keeping on top of keeping yourself and them clean let alone the house!


I hope you find someone suitable, sorry I can't help, ours is currently fully booked up.

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
