      I've presently outsourced some work to two other contractors. Of course I'm passing the work of as if I've done it and the client is none the wiser. Sweet.

      You know what they say about assumptions!

          Nanny and gardener only. Now I'm retired. Times are hard.

            Gardner and window cleaner. We could do with an Au Pair but I'm worried if she's fit and I'd had a few.... David Beckham or Jude Law springs to mind... in fact she probably doesn't have to be that fit thinking about it

              Cleaner, and there's a local ironing business who come and take your ironing away to do.

              Would have a window cleaner but we keep waiting for one to come and put a card through the door and he never does.

                Window cleaner.
                Garden gets done by eldest in exchange for free board and lodgings.

                Edit: clicked wrong options, so poll is null and void.
