Feeling a little guilty but life's too short to do house work when I'm off at weekends. I'm struggling to find time for anything 😒

I have a cleaner because although I have all the time in the world my apathy meant it wasn't getting done!!

I use my DLA for two hours a week. There is no way I could work and do the heavy at home too.

Please do not fell guilty in anyway! It keeps someone else in employment and some of them can only manage a few hours work each week. My cleaner is a student, she says it's the difference between heating and eating in the cold weather, so I am happy to help!

Great idea. I might try it myself.

It would create time for better things.

Mr Flump's parents gave us a cleaner for one year, as a Christmas present, a few years ago. When that year was up, we HAD to keep her! :-)

Go for it, as a carer it has made a huge difference to my life.

Means I can spend quality time with Husband instead of worrying about housework.

I struggled as I didn't work I felt I should be able to perform housework, but at a slower pace. I bought a lightweight Hoover, but still provoked my spascitity, and heavy housework. I would become fatigued and feel overwhelmed, and no work achieved at all.

I use DLA money to employ a cleaner for 2 hours a week, and found a lady who ran a small company of cleaners, who are CRB checked and police checked. It is a great relief to come back to to a dust free and clean laminate floor , hoovered carpet, bathroom floor mopped and my bedding. It is great!l.

I don't have a cleaner, but every now and then I look round my house, think Oh how disgusting and spend an entire 48 hojrs wiping off the grime, followed by an entire 48 hours in bed as a result. Moral of the story is, if you can afford it, get a cleaner, because frankly, life is too short!!

(Other morals include don't live in the country on an emerging smallholding with two football-mad boys and dogs with a husband who mows other people's lawns for a living....none of whom know where the hoover livesπŸ˜‚)
