If you could, would you have people in to clean your house, wash your windows, do your ironing and keep your garden in order?
It has just occurred to me that apart from a window cleaner my neighbours do everything themselves, they have a large house and garden and are not hard up so it is not an economic decision.
Given the choice would you do it all yourself or would you rather hand over the mop and bucket to someone else?
I used to have a cleaner twice a week. Since finishing work I do it myself, much prefer it. Wouldn't trust my garden to anyone else, or the windows, I hate smeary windows. Really enjoying the domestic thing after years of the corporate thing...but that could change
