This woman's work


I live in a flat that conspires against me – I clean it and 2 days later it looks like it wasn’t cleaned in years. The results never do reflect the labour, the sense of achievement upon completion gives way to a sense of despair within 48 hours. I read that dust is skin ... I can’t be shedding that much skin I am still here ..... I could never hire a cleaner unless I could afford to pay her a bankers wage - some thing about hiring people to clean up after me doesn’t sit right in my heart, perhaps it because cleaners traditionally work so hard for so little...

Even being in the same position as you in terms of affording staff, I don't think I could have a cleaner either....... Pamela Anderson doesn't you know....and she's a vegetarian.....I love Pamela Anderson......
