I have a cleaner, but she's rubbish at cleaning....! She the mum of a friend of ours, and when I was struggling with everything (I was totally crippled/bent double for 18 months) OH suggested that I get her to come once a week to help out. I pay her for 3 hours, but these days she doesn't turn up til 10.30 and leaves at 11.45

But I know she needs the money, so I haven't had the heart to tell her to stop coming. I'll have to soon though, coz I need the money too!
