To get a secret one off cleaner

[elm26]

Husband is doing his annual 2 night camping trip with friends he's had since school.

My 1 year old is going to the farm Saturday with her Nanny & Gramps then having a sleepover.

So I've booked a one off deep clean of our home in secret, I'm going to take the dog for a 2 hour walk somewhere peaceful, come home to a clean home, open a bottle of wine in the evening, have a long hot bubble bath, order myself a Chinese and binge watch my favourite shows with chocolate that I don't have to share with anyone in my comfiest pjs and then have a sleep in on Sunday and I feel wonderful for planning this 😂

No guilt at all about not telling my DH about the cleaner, would any of you do the same?

Sounds blissful and as a parent of a young child, totally deserved. Enjoy and indulge

Sounds great and whilst I wouldn’t need to keep this sort of thing a secret, I doubt I’d say anything either if they were away and really this sounds like you are just having a little treat.

The second DH goes away it’s Netflix and Deliveroo all the way as far as I’m concerned. No guilt whatsoever.

Absolutely do it. A few years ago I told dh I was going to decorate the sitting room while he was away. I hired a decorator instead.

I don't think anything genius or brilliant about This. Sad really. You think this is your job and you've somehow done something clever, but actually why didn't your dh clean up with you before he left?

oh wow- the @Yousaidwhatagain mindset drives me up the wall. Calling someone Sad cos of your lack of understnding is mean
total fail at realising the OP isni mumping about anyone expect her to do cleaning. no suggestion ANYONE else is even gonna care (or notice) the deep clean..Its "treat" weekend. she can get her kicks AND is utterly guilt free cos the alternative is skipping usual chores.
have a lovely weekend op

Why the secrecy?book the cleaner you’re an adult woman, no lying necessary

This is actually genius.

Actually This isn’t genius,it’s not inspirational.Why so much praise for booking a covert cleaner?
It is no more noteworthy than any other online transaction that meets a need

I might just stick with the cleaner. I sent some stuff out during lockdown and they damaged it.

This sounds like heaven 🙂

I absolutely love this!

Ignore the pedantic mood hoovers that love to head tilt. Surprised you aren't getting told how many calories are in your chocolate 🤣

Enjoy every minute 😁

Haha have fun OP - I get it, I like a bit of harmless naughtiness (and secretly getting a cleaner in would fall into that category for me!)

@elm26 I did this and I don’t even have kids or a dog 🫣 and I didn’t tell anyone either 🤔😂 until now that is. Did pay for it myself so not sure why it is a secret!

Brilliant idea but not sure if 2 hours would be enough. My mum is a cleaner and she said a whole day probably for a deep clean top to bottom.

I think we're soul sisters. You're living my dream today, but I'd add a woodwick candle.
Do you live in the North east? We could be friends you and I 🥲

About the ironing uniform. I thought exactly this, I even bought an iron and board last year, especially for school. Do not fret, my friend. Buy M&S tops, matalan bottoms and you will see they will not crease. You never have to iron again!

Hope you enjoy the well deserved pamper!

Everyone needs a secret, especially a non-life changing one! But, the problem is, a secret is only a secret when two people know it and one of them is dead.

Should we all be concerned? 😆😉😇

Oh, FFS! GTFU you joy drainer!

I can only imagine how pitiful their lives must be if the only thing they can do when someone posts a light-hearted, fun thread about a day of escapism, is to find a way to try and ruin it and bash it.

Not sure if they are just hidden pessimists, angry, or just enjoy being a drain on other people's happiness and joy. So pathetic.

Did anyone else read this as 'get a secret one from cleaner' or 'one off OF cleaner? I thought OP was after a one night stand affair with her regular cleaner for a second 😅. I am admittedly a couple of drinks in...

Sorry OP, it's a great idea! We used to have a cleaner and God I miss her 😢

Aye, this is very true

At first, I thought she had gotten a secret cleaning tip from a cleaner. Then my ind went your way. Very happy to have read the thread, though. Cleared up any confusion or envy (I could use secret cleaning tips..).

Not much of a "deep clean" if it only takes too hours.

Well the thing is they are actually keeping a long and very funny thread in Tattle going as they loooove the head tilters on there.

So every cloud ....😁

You'll all be pleased to know that my flat is spotless, clean bedsheets on, I've had a bubble bath, hair mask in, I've ordered Chinese, laying on the sofa with a cold glass of Whispering Angel watching Bridgerton and a Chinese is on its way! I even took the car for a valet and managed to walk the dog before the rain started! I feel wonderful 😂
