Y'all use a service or hire independent housekeepers? I use a service so I don't get stuck with the one from Family Guy.



LOLZ Lemon Pledge.

That and see my DVD collection slowly shrink each week.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I've known her for years, she used to be a waitress around the corner at the Don Pablo's I used to hang out at, and she'd do places part time;  she used to do it on her own until she got enough clients to do quit tables.  It's her, her cousin and her sister-in-law;  she doesn't use people outside the family.

Very sweet girl;  does more than those other services do, for cheaper.  Does the laundry, dishes, switches out my bedsheets. She even takes care of my cat and my mail when I'm out of town.  She's a good girl.

I do cooking, laundry, vacuuming, pretty much all the yardwork (I do pay a guy to mow), and typical handyman stuff.  Princesca does the dishes, pays all the bills, and takes care of the groceries (orders them and picks them up).

I enjoy cutting the grass. On my mower, I AM MASTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Buying a ZTR is on my to-do list.  I just need to figure out if I can fit it in the garage (which means getting rid of or rearranging a ton of shit) or, failing that, I'll need to build a shed.

Home Depot has good ones for ~3K and they'll even send the monkeys out to build it. Just double check their work.

Yeah I know.  I was originally going to get a lawn tractor but my dad kept telling me "LOL no U can get a ZTR for the same price!!!!!!!!!11111111"  For some reason I was thinking ZTRs started in like the $6K range. :hmm:

I do all of the chores listed, plus cooking and lawn/garden work. I own my own home, and it's just me.  :)

While we're talking about long-departed members, whatever happened to Monkeybutt?  And Camper?  And Pirate Scum?

The last two were really interesting guys.

I'm just glad that Eddie Teach guy's gone. :thumbsdown:

I do it all. My dad does it all. He and my mum did it all together when she was alive. Every Saturday morning the house was cleaned top to bottoms and the laundry done (down the road at the laundrette). My main chores at home were dusting, watering the plants and ironing.

When I was married we had a Polish cleaner.

My least favourite chore and one that would lend itself better to the stronger sex is vacuuming. Why isn't that on the list? Because the UK is the only nation filthy enough to have wall-to-wall fabric on the floor?

Bathroom cleaning isn't up there either, which is one of the ickiest but my favourite for effort to reward ratio.

Edit: Actually laundry is my favourite. Virtually no effort (sort, put in washer, leave, hang up to dry) and your clothes are clean and your house smells nice.

Meri is a peasant and went with sweeping. -_-
