oneknightr Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I know that feeling. I have been contemplating hiring a cleaning person as the list of stuff never gets done. I am not sure if I want a stranger coming into my home though. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app My wife and I have two young kids and considered getting a cleaning service but just the thought of having a stranger in my house touching my stuff weirds me out.

You meant "touching my Lego stuff"? Find someone you know who uses cleaning service or person. Or ask for references in Nextdoor. That makes cleaning person to be less of a stranger. Also, if you occasionally hire babysitter,see if they offer cleaning as well 2 Quote
Ciglione Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Two young kids here as well. Cleaninglady would be welcome. But that would not solve our problems perse. I guess the wife and me need a long holiday on a deserted tropical island. Its been too long ago. Edited March 13, 2015 by Ciglione Quote

I guess the wife and me need a long holiday on a deserted tropical island. Its been too long ago. That's the harder part to maintain. I just remind my wife that they are only small once and when we're back to our pre-child ways (i.e. alone) she'll be longing for the days when they were small and the house was a mess. Quote

That makes cleaning person to be less of a stranger. Also, if you occasionally hire babysitter,see if they offer cleaning as well We just acquired a cleaning lady before Christmas from our neighbour. She was a live in nanny for them but now scaled back to 3x times a week. We get her Thursday's for 1hr before she starts her shift next door. This is perfect because the bathrooms are nice and shiny when we have friends over on the weekend. Feels like a bit of a luxury but I highly recommend getting a cleaner if you find someone you trust.

banshee3 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 +1 on a cleaning lady! Maid services are bomb. I've cleaned my own toilets 5 times in 5 years but you could eat out of them. Quote
LegoManiacc Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I've cleaned my own toilets 5 times in 5 years but you could eat out of them. Umm, I'm just going to take your word for it on that one. Well, unless you have a good soup I could try, I can't turn down a giant bowl of Chicken Noodle. 1 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) When A CL seller sells his childhood lot you were 1st in line to someone else because you couldn't pick them up until Sunday. I hope it was one of you Boston area BPers. Edited March 14, 2015 by CC-Marley Quote
BrickLegacy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Bricklink buyer places an order 11pm Friday night. Saturday at 10pm they email demanding an invoice. I send them the invoice within an hour and they begin to haggle me on the shipping. I should have held my ground but I am anxious to sell this set (Quinjet) so I threw in a $4 discount on shipping. Closing the deal was more important than $4 but I was annoyed by the buyer. Quote
labfreak7 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Over 300$ merchandise sold and no payment. I hate eBay rules. In a real auction, the winning buyer would be charged automatically. Quote
DadsAFOL Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 It drives me crazy that "sort by price" on Amazon, specifically AWD, is more of just a general direction. Seriously: SORT BY PRICE DESC. Whatever code they used to display the results in sort-of-but-not-really-sorted order has to be much more complicated. Quote

If you would like to be saved from the idiots, stop selling Lego altogether! That should solve all your problems! Some problems may be solved but I wouldn't say all. Here's a good one. I was talking with a lady one time and somewhere we started talking about banking. I asked "So you use Bank of America?" She replied, "Nope, I have B of A". ....What? :logik: 1 Quote
