    Surely there's no need for a cleaner AND a wife?

    They must both hate cleaning and have had enough of arguing about it. I'm guessing a cleaner is cheaper than a divorce.

    I have a wife and cleaner rolled into one. She is a 19 year old from Thailand. I met her on the internet.
    Language is still a problem but we are working on that.

    We have one a few times a week.
    She’s drop dead gorgeous and prefers to work naked and moves in a very alluring way, starts downstairs working her way up until she’s done the bathroom, sometimes while I’m still in it!
    Bit hazy about what happens next that’s when I start to wake up!

    My mate has one & says it`s a waste of money due to the fact his wife cleans up before the cleaner arrives as to not appear dirty.

    My flat is so small I can clean it from top to bottom in 2 hours. I could do with someone to come in & sort out my record collection though. That would be a few days work.

    We have a hoover, we have dusters, we have sinks and buckets. It’s not difficult.

    And we don’t iron things. One of the small things we decided to change given how much energy an iron uses.

    That is a service I'd be willing to pay for.

    Perfect, any ladies in please stop reading now….

    I used the same ploy of being crap at ironing…

    We have a cleaner though, but we have to clean up before they arrive according to the Mrs.

    As to the Title of the thread. I do on occasion use a knife and fork, and sometimes don't lick the plate if company are round. How posh am I,!:D We've even got a cake stand. Never used it mind.

    We iron as little as possible (generally just the wife's uniform and my work shirts), not only is it a mass time sink, it's also mad at eating electricity (as you say).

    Not enough choices to define posh. What about 'I get out of the bath if I feel the need to pee.'?

    Are you always out at work when she arrives mate? Or do people just sit around the house whilst they're cleaning
