That was lovely

[tonicha]

today - berlinkin' hard work for us both,though, cleaning Bente's 3 bed, 3 bathroomed quinta. Lots of window cleaning, for Grumpy lots of sticky fingers on glass, mirrors, pictures, furniture

But when we'd finished, she gave us 3 house plants - she's going back ii Norway, so didn't want them to die (or just throw them away, she said ) and a bottle of wine, as it is Sunday, plus a lot more dosh than we expected) lunch, coffee, wine (no, I was good, stuck to water )

Now quietly shattered......

Sounds like a good day's work - I'm glad you are so appreciated!

[tonicha]

Hard work though Kaz - she thinks that if she leaves things dirty, I'll be happier

I cannot tell you the state of the oven or hob

And to say, just throw away those plants if you don't want them

Why the blummin' heck buy them in the first place?????

They are lovely, I'll have to look them up, as I really don't know how to look after them.

But she also gave us shed loads more work - well, Grumpy. I can sit by the pool Or sit in it

[JoM]

Sounds like hard work in the heat Ton!
Hope you manage to keep the house plants alive!

[Kaz]

Ah well

[tonicha]

I know, I know - it's money

It'll help towards the few days away next month

[Kaz]

Yayyyy It certainly will

[Diflower]

Nice to know she appreciates you though
I guess with the plants, if you buy fresh flowers it's at least as much if not more, and they get thrown away
Can kind of understand the oven, but I couldn't live with or cook on a dirty hob
Still, all done now - till next time

[Kaz]

Di I'm the same, I can turn a blind eye to the oven, but my hob gets wiped every time I use it, so sparkles
