OK just to start off - I am not rich by any means!
But I have just started working full time as DPs job has been looking shaky for a while and we want to be prepared.
However, if his job does turn out to be safe (which we will know soon) I would really like to get a cleaner as I'm struggling keeping on top of everything with us both working ft. Plus I find getting the laundry done really hard (especially in winter) as we don't have a tumble dryer and our flat is tiny so not much space to hang on airers or radiators. Now we only have weekends, I don't want to spend a couple of hours going to the laundrette (which is what I was doing during my days with DD when I was part time).
I just want to know if anyone pays for someone to clean and do their laundry, and how much you pay for it? I'd like to know if it is at all feasable for us to do. We are in London btw.
