My wife gets paid by the DWP to clean for our disabled daughter. Its not a huge amount, but thats not the point. Anyone who has an issue with people that clean or those who employ people to clean for them can go and do one quite frankly.

I sit in my office while they're cleaning the rest of the house - which is about 95% of the time - then go somewhere else, like the kitchen, when they're in my office. I don't feel particularly lazy, not any more than I do when someone comes to replace the gutters or when I take my bike in to have the chain replaced. By which I mean that there's a nagging feeling that I should be doing it myself before I remember that I won't do it nearly as well, it would take forever, I'd hate doing it, and I am actually a little lazy and would rather spend my time doing something more fun.

Originally posted by ursus arctos View PostIn the urban residential context here, loft has two very different meanings.
The more common is the "repurposed" former light industrial space that first took off in SoHo in the 70s (when such spaces lacked certificates of occupancy, not to mention all kinds of mod cons) and has since spread widely (including being used for new construction in the "style").
The other is older, but less common, and generally used for particularly small spaces with high ceilings in which either a sleeping platform or a storage space has been constructed. This is a very high end example from Greenwich Village
And yes, just to piss off Ton Ton, there are a handful of (industrial) lofts that include (sleeping) lofts.

Alot of tthe more well-off Spanish families employ someone -usually female and invariably .South American- not only for the cleaning but for midweek cooking and casual childminding for kids who come home from sch ool around 2.15 or so.
