Ok, I know I'm hoicking my judgy pants here, but would you? Neither one of the couple are working due to situation but are not ill, neither are elderly (they have a teenager), they're reasonably well off. I know they have a cleaner who visits once a week but should they still be having her come round in the current situation? I know I'm sticking my nose in and it's none of my business but surely they are putting her and her family, and themselves, at risk? Maybe she really needs the money but they could have paid her anyway and told her not to come. They are really nice people and I really like them but I'm a bit Shock at this!

Oops, didn't realise people were still posting on here - I seem to have unwittingly opened Pandora's box! Sorry, I have nothing else to add so I'll just bow out now...

Our cleaner/housekeeper has decided not to continue at the moment. I would have let her come however if she wanted to.

She is amazing at what she does and therefore the risks would be low. I'd have also happily provided masks etc.

My neighbours would probably be in uproar too, however, none of them can see my hidden disabilities and medical conditions... they probably think we have her because we're rich (we're not) and can't see that my PIP pays for her.

I have her for a reason, not just because I can... So had she been happy to come I'd have been happy to have her. I'm a vulnerable person at the moment, and therefore it would be allowed for her, and I'm massively struggling to cope without her.
