Default Re: Least frugal thing you do?

its very difficult to find someone to trust. my mom was in a bad wreck and wont ever work again, or her hubby either. they have 2 home aids, one for indoors and one that cooks on her days off and does outdoor work when she works. it took them 5 years of constant changing of people to find these 2. i suggested the second one cause she had harveys family staying all the time and doug was paid to take care of them, not all thier grandkids who treat the place like aluxery hotel. doug was tense, i could tell, so i told her, u gonna have peeps here all the time, hire another person, cause u dont ever want to lose doug! i never left doug messes for us. i put my laundry in thier laundry room waiting for thiers to be done so i could do my own, he bagged it all and threw it on the back porch and i never asked him to do anything for us, so i knew it was coming to an end if mom didnt do something. she does all she can to make thier work better too, she had laminate floors laid throught and bought a microfiber scrub mop.they only have to go over it with water and throw the mop part in the wash. she really appreciates all doug and elizabeth do for them. and im so happy when i see them there. mom and harvey would be lost w/o them. they found them in the beggining thru a home health service, when moms insurance ran out, they stayed on and my mom pays them each week. i know one cleaning lady here who does housework for individuals and works regularly in housekeeping at the super 8. you could call home health services for good people and hotels. or you could post exactly what you expect in an ad in the paper. like wanted housekeeping services. will need to do...... salary negotiable, call today for appt for interview. or instead of a list something like deep housecleaning required, not just cosmetic. most know what that means.lol. it means move the fridge and clean back there.lol that is what i would do. i havent saved enough to consider this yet, but when i do, ill go for the ad in the paper and express myself upfront. i would love to have more help around here.lol. my dads gf has a daughter, back when i had better money, i used to pay her 25 dollars to come help with the deep down stuff. each week. something different on the list, so that all got done once a month. just took 2 hrs and she made cash. u may find friends who will do that too, never know unless u ask. huggellzz to all tish.
