To think my cleaner shouldn't eat all the biscuits

I've noticed that my cleaning lady is clearing me out of biscuits. She eats an entire biscuit tin whilst she's in my home. So 1-2 packets. She's never asked if it's ok or replaced anything. I've never offered them to her either.

Anyone who can force down more than one bourbon must be on the brink of starvation.

They are filth!

I agree, Shadenfreude - they're always the last to go in my house. I buy them because I'm never ever tempted to eat them. And Penguins are just bourbons with nasty chocolate on.

That is incredibly cheeky. I wouldn't want anybody like that in my house. Get rid.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 02/10/2017 14:29

Not sure if you have posted in the right place Chadders - but I think you should just ignore it - or make some comment about how "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", and that you are thrilled that she appreciates your creative baby-naming.

If she's a good cleaner then it wouldn't bother me, biscuits don't cost a fortune, just make sure you put value ones in the tin instead of posh ones Smile.

She can't be eating two packets of biscuits at a time! I just had a cup of tea and two chocolate digestives and I feel awful, needing to lie down for a while awful. She must be taking them home?

Bahhhhhumbug · 02/10/2017 14:32

Have we wandered off from one's thread LadyChaddersley ? Grin

ladyB2004 · 02/10/2017 14:33

You need to be sure it is her though. If you are sure, then you will need to confront her and ask her to stop helping herself as it is usual manners to be offered. Some people are not very well brought up. Educate her.

OhGood · 02/10/2017 14:34

katedotness1963 what, you feel sick after 2 chocolate digestives??? Are you sure you shouldn't be on the OTHER site, "hun"? Wink

Mabel83 · 02/10/2017 14:39

Everyone's going crazy about the biscuits and I'm over here like 😏 I wish I had a cleaner..... 🤣

Lovemusic33 · 02/10/2017 14:44

I would love a cleaner too, I am now wondering if I could pay someone with biscuits to clean my house Hmm

guilty100 · 02/10/2017 14:44

I agree, anyone who can eat that many biscuits is surely going without food? Go to Aldi, you can get a pack of chocolate digestives for 40p - I'd pay that just to know she was eating!

Katedotness1963 · 02/10/2017 14:47

OhGood it's warm here today and they weren't in the fridge. Warm, melty chocolate is not pleasant, but I fought through...

Badgoushk · 02/10/2017 14:48

Maybe she's hungry.

CantChoose · 02/10/2017 14:51

My cleaner often texts me to say she's 'forgotten her lunch' and would I mind if she ate one of my insert delicious multipack snack item here. :she never forgets when I only have fruit in the house but I pretend not to notice Grin

LastNightMyWifeHooveredMyHead · 02/10/2017 14:59

If she's eating your biscuits, OP, she's also using your skincare Grin

cherrycola2004 · 02/10/2017 15:00

I’m a cleaner but of offices. Sometimes they have biscuits around if they’re having a meeting and I help myself to the odd 1, 2 or 5 Blush

You haven't met my DS, Schaden. He's a long tall drink of water, and can inhale one of those double packets of bourbons in the time it takes me to say "...but you'll be having your dinner in ten minutes".

I wish I had a cleaner and biscuits Envy

phoenix1973 · 02/10/2017 15:31

If it is her, that is naughty.
I was a house cleaner last year and we didn't so much as drink the water there, let alone eat any of the clients food.

You have to be sure it's her. If it is, and you're bothered then either talk to her or get rid if you're too meek to speak.

ArcheryAnnie · 02/10/2017 15:32

I have literally just had to go an open a packet of biscuits because of this thread. (Dark chocolate digestives.)

Damn you all.

shoeaddict83 · 02/10/2017 15:44

ok now im desperately craving a packet of biscuits and quite jealous i dont have a cleaner....if this one would work for 2 packets a shift can i get her number OP?

BeBeatrix · 02/10/2017 15:44

It's impossible to eat that amount of biscuits in one sitting without being ill

Not impossible for everyone. Blush

Sweetpea55 · 02/10/2017 15:47

put 4 biscuits in the tine ..manky ones,,,And hide the rest, Have a family tin and a 'cleaner' tin, What about Rich Tea,,,one of the shittiest biscuits in town
