Short version-I need a cleaner, she needs cash. I would not dream of being all lady-of-the manor about it. She already baby sits for me sometimes and I pay her for that, it's not a problem. She doesn't work as she is a SAHM so there would be no tax issues. She doesn't claim benefits so no benefit issues. I just worked out that she could have her money for her college course by October if she worked two hours a week. Her own home is always very clean and tidy, much better than mine!
So-a win/win or a disaster in the making?
