They do everything. life is too short to clean!

ugh, notanotter, I hate it and loathe it and would really love to pay someone else to do the laundry! sooooooooo boring.

You would have loved a mangle, I think.

No, a nanny, a gardener, an aupair, a housekeeper and a maid is all that we need for a quiet life.

Tut, collision, how do you manage without a chauffeur and a personal shopper? Still, must be fun to slum it.

If she has a week off tell her how much longer it took you to do it.
