Sheldon didn't clock that companies want a minimum number of hours! I think 2 should be sufficient. I lived in a much bigger house-share a few years back and for a short spell someone organised a cleaner who seemed to manage two kitchens, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and hallways in that time! We have a bog standard 3-bed semi. I don't anticipate needing any help with washing, drying, bed-changing and making (having looked at the full range of services some provide on a couple of websites!) just basic floors, surfaces etc with a particular focus on the bathroom and kitchen, and windows once in a while if there is time. Do you think that sounds okay?
Awww sorry the coat hasn't lived totally up to expectations. It looks so stylish but I was wondering about the winter winds whipping around my poor legs :-)
October Before last weekend we had precisely five pairs of newborn socks, but then did a tiny bit of shopping, and was handed bags and bags of bought, knitted and secondhand clothes by members of our family! Bar a couple of pink items, everything is either white or yellow or brighter primary colours - perfect! Though personally we're not averse to confusing people and putting a boy baby in a pink babygro! We're quite anti gender stereotyping through clothes and toys (though accepting that kids may well fall into such roles themselves with peer pressure at school etc; we certainly won't force them to buck the trend or make them feel uncomfy!) Dungarees all round, whether boys or girls, methinks whilst toddling 
Just woke up from massive nap. I'm clearly nowhere near over this cold. I have managed to do one thing today: submit my Paris expenses. Have told boss I'm a wreck and he has just replied (from LA, lucky thing!) to say not to beat myself up about not being able to maintain relentless pace. So I think it's okay. I can't even bear to look at my to do list though!
