March 13, 201510 yr 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
March 13, 201510 yr 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, 201510 yr by Ciglione

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.

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.
March 13, 201510 yr +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.
March 13, 201510 yr 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.
March 14, 201510 yr 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, 201510 yr by CC-Marley
March 15, 201510 yr 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 $4 but I was annoyed by the buyer.
March 16, 201510 yr Over 300$ merchandise sold and no payment. I hate eBay rules. In a real auction, the winning buyer would be charged automatically.
March 17, 201510 yr 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.

March 17, 201510 yr Save me from idiots! I just had a complaint that I shipped a vintage set to him in pieces! Some people don't understand the concept of lego!

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:
