Yes, house cleaning isn't cheap these days. Matt says he doesn't know how they justify what they charge.

I WISH I could afford someone to clean my house! If I ever make enough money, the first thing I'll do is hire a house cleaner. First. Thing.

I hate to clean but love a clean house, Cooking, not the everyday kind, is creative I think, although I am not a good cook and a nervous entertainer.

When she first met my father she couldn't cook, not at all, but she became at least equivalent to a Julia Child although she couldn't speak French. She certainly had an assistant when I was a kid, I know I had a nanny, whether that's all she did I'm not sure. Of course things changed during the war. Personally, I hate cleaning, and these days I can't do much anyway as I end up in agony.<br /><br />So do I Yolanda, one thing after another at the moment. I remember your health problems, didn't remember the fall.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-11147544322509593082015-03-05T10:25:30.779-05:002015-03-05T10:25:30.779-05:00My mother could cook and clean, and while I can co...My mother could cook and clean, and while I can cook, that's my sisters talent. I'm very organized though, and the house is usually very clean. I say usually because when I'm concentrating on a writing project, things do get messy. I would love to have someone come in, and if I ever really sell a book or two, it's the one thing I would give myself. I've grown to hate laundry and cleaning, but I've learned to enjoy cooking.<br />I do hope your health issues get straightened out, but I was there last year and mine also started with a fall.

In our house, once I was old enough, I was the cleaner. I got paid....that was my chores money...and I had a pretty serious record buying habit in those days so the more chores I took on, the more money my parents gave me. I cleaned for my aunt & uncle and cousin, and I was a chambermaid from high school through college. As much as I'd like to have a maid now, I'd be too afraid they'd break something. I have a lot of knick knacks! lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-68739993331476098772015-03-05T07:53:53.367-05:002015-03-05T07:53:53.367-05:00I hope you two can get past all these health issue...I hope you two can get past all these health issues.<br />Glad the cleaners worked out.Alex J.
