loulou, learn to cook, its easier, its cheaper and you get what you want. Microwave crap doesn't fill you up.
Seriously, there is nothing easier than a spag bol or a pasta bake, I would even talk you through it.
Lou, I bet your own well-scrubbed wooden spoon is much cleaner and germ-free than your average take-away. Ask Knighty!
This is slightly awful. But I have a friend who's granny is very old and was brought up in South Africa, even to this day she thinks anyone black is here to serve her and will even speak to them in orders in the shops such as ''get that down from that shelf for me, now''
Its awful, but slightly funny aswell to watch her act so outdated.
Maybe the poor didn't have any money to look after in the first place. It is entierly possible they are poor for life.
Personally I wouldn't want a maid, I can wipe my own botty!
Is a cleaner a maid, or is the difference that you use a bell to summon a maid to you for assistance?
