Reminds me of the story of one of my friends. He came home during the day and caught the domestic in his shower busy shaving with his razor. The kak thing is how long have they been using the same shower and razor?

The other one also went home during the day and caught the domestic in his wifes underwear. Again, how long have they been sharing underwear?

had footage of my ex gardener walking out of the property one afternoon with my lawnmower , never to be seen again .the one that replaced him lasted around 2 years ,he then decided to use my Titan mountain bike to go home with ,never saw him again (got killed by a taxi )
 
Not since I found out the hard way how quick it is to clean the house.

Arrived home unexpectedly one morning at 11:30 and Sarah was asleep on the couch and hadn't done any cleaning since she arrived at 8:30. She didn't see me because I collected something from the garagxe.

It wasn't an issue because she was due to leave at 2:00 and would obviously just leave a bit later. Right? Noooooo, not right - at 2:00 on the dot she was outta there and the house looked fine, not sparkling but good enough for me :D

I would have kept employing her regularly anyway but laws and regulations made me feel trapped and when the opportunity presented itself we went our separate ways.

I am sure you must have been devastated.
 
House keeper once a week, mainly to do ironing work. Most other cleaning and washing we do ourselves.

Gardner once a week to mow the lawn and rake up leaves. The rest of the gardning and yard cleaning we do ourselves.

We had a garden service, but my wife works from home and the guys kept on asking for things like, cold drink, food, money and things they spotted around the yard (like heaters in storage, my daughter's scooter, etc.), and I myself saw them peering through the windows while they were busy, so we canceled the service.

I pay my mom to come in twice a week and help my wife with getting the chores done. Usually involves the holding of babies as well.

Funnily enough, she says that doing cleaning and chores is a lot easier when it isn't your own house.

Check for dust under the mats and dirty socks shoved in the back of drawers.

Same here.

Except I got stuck with a gardener that came with the house. I get him to do odd jobs as well.
He is old as f and this is his only income so a bit tricky but when I get a chance to replace I will definitely use a service instead.
Mow, sweep, snip and take it all away.
