To want to employ a window cleaner simply because he is GORGEOUS...

Gabriel has just knocked on my door. He cleans windows for other houses in the road and is looking for business. He is GORGEOUS.....

If I do, I have to remember to change out of my ratty old PJs first though!

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Looks a bit like David Gandy. Hint of a foreign accent.

Yummy.

sounds bargainous to me....however much he charges. A whole new meaning to ''Room with a view'

thebody · 01/04/2014 10:54

of course not.

I employed a gardening team who looked like a diet coke advert. they were far more expensive than old Tom and his brother but a girl has to have some fun.

Go for it, lovely name too, I'm just visualising him.

I'm still think back to the summer of 2011 when I had a couple of hunky builders in their cut off jeans, bare chested, working on the house for a few months ..... I work from home and found it incredibly distracting

HesterShaw · 01/04/2014 10:59

Send him round here, would you?

Tell you what ladies - I'll try him out first and get back to you, OK? I'll see if I can arrange an MN discount .

Are you sure it will be Gabriel actually squeegeeing your windows? I mean, it would be really disappointing if he turns out to be the gaffer and you only see him when he calls to collect the dosh.

HesterShaw · 01/04/2014 22:40

Even the NAME Gabriel is hawt. I'm imagining someone like this squeedgeeing me

Yes?

AntoinetteCosway · 01/04/2014 22:46

When I was on the look out for a gardener (sadly for a one off job) it is not a coincidence that the man I hired was oh. so. fit.

He was also a great gardener. I wish I could afford for him to come back.

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 01/04/2014 22:48

oh I used to have a lovely window cleaner - he was really chatty and sweet

he was also a milkman ;)

WilsonFrickett · 01/04/2014 22:50

My window cleaner is very cute. Unfortunately one day my DF was round and I exclaimed 'ooh goody, cute window cleaner is here'. Three days later DH was talking to a neighbour at the same point of the garden and I realised my windows aren't soundproofed.

Geordiegirl79 · 01/04/2014 22:51

Ha ha ha wowfudge the is a genius marketing ploy. Send Gabriel round to lure in the ladies then it's Old Tom and his brother who actually turn up with the buckets. Gutted.

EverythingsDozy · 01/04/2014 22:51

Definitely go for it! I've never heard of a bad window cleaner so him being gorgeous (I'm just taking your word for it!) is just a perk!

thebody · 01/04/2014 22:53

GeordieGirl that's just mean.

Wowfudge - that is a good point. Could I sue under Trading Standards if he doesn't do it himself (and with his shirt off, cos it'll be summer soon and far too hot to wear even the tightest of t-shirts)?

I asked DH, in an off-hand fashion, whether we might want a window cleaner (only just moved into this house from a flat, so we're still getting the hang of what we may or may not need) and what he thought about giving this bloke a try. He said yes .

I think that's a green light!

rabbitlady · 01/04/2014 23:24

window cleaner, years ago. he liked me. sweet and shy and we never got it on. story of my (non) fucking life.

wowfudge · 02/04/2014 06:42

Not sure about getting Trading Standards involved. I mean once every couple of weeks to collect the money could be better than nothing, no?

I'm not a shirt off kind of girl myself - there's something about a vest top or t shirt on a muscular guy. Hmm. Our window cleaner is pretty easy on the eye, but a bit thick. Kind of cancels out the good looks.

With a house, having a window cleaner is de rigeur. Get him hired!

wideon · 02/04/2014 06:55

Go for it
I once employed a cleaner simply because she had big tits . . .

murphys · 02/04/2014 06:59

Gabriel. Gorgeous. Without a shirt.

Mmnnnn. How am I meant to do some work today.......

neverthebride · 02/04/2014 07:24

Absolutely. I used to work in a hospital which had a breathtakingly beautiful maintenance man.

You'd be (not) surprised by how many things needed fixing when he was on shift...

wowfudge - he was wearing a white vest top when he knocked on my door. Complemented his tanned, muscular arms very nicely .

We have a team of drop dead gorgeous farriers at our livery yard. Think Sean Bean in his heyday. We sit and sip coffee whilst watching a row of tight buttocks in even tighter jeans bent over in front of us. The highlight of last year was when one got kicked in the bouton by a particularly naughty pony and had to strip off both his jeans and his Calvin kleins to get his injury attended to. We were all

MrsSeanBean1 · 02/04/2014 09:24

Bottom not bouton
