I feel terrible.
We just got a new cleaner today, from an agency ( the first time I've done that ) and she came to meet us last week.
Dp said she seemed awful but I thought he was being judgemental (she raved about us not phoning agency if anything was wrong but speaking to her first and didn't understand us very well- english not first lang)
Anyway I thought she seemed okay and she started today.
We agreed she would work four hours.
I asked her to start with ironing first, but she refused and insisted on doing the kitchen.
She took 4 hours to do the kitchen ( I know it's a mess but I thought in a toast crumbs kind of way...
Then when the four hours was up, I said, she should go cos only getting paid for four.But she insisted on staying, saying for first clean it takes longer, but doesn't expect extra pay (??)She showed me texts that seemed to indicate the agency expected this too. .
So she cleaned for further 2.5 hours, didn't finish everything and said she was going.
I offered to pay her extra fiver ( all change I had) thinking I'd top her up next week. She looked at fiver and said it should be £7 ( despite it being £6 and her insisting she didn't want extra)
Then she left, and returned two mins later to say she'd only been given one ten pound notes, instead of two.
I looked in my purse etc. couldn't find it and swore I had given her two. Then she went MAD, literally tipping a messy bag upside down, then stripping ALL of her clothes off in my hallway.
DD7 was watching it all completely agog.
Then I asked her to leave and gave her another £20. By now I didn't know what to think!
Eventually she did. Then I found the tenner, on the floor where her bag was.
I have no idea if she dropped it or I did. I am sure I had given it to her ( she keeps notes lose in her bag) but what if I hadn't?.
She's already left the key cos I said I didn't think it was working between us.
I feel awful
