Time to come clean: there’s another man in my life.
We rendezvous once a fortnight. He slips in, wipes away my worries and leaves no finger prints to suggest he’s touched me up.
He’s discreet, meticulous and does everything I ask of him. Even scrub the toilet.
He’s got Gumption and he’s not afraid to use it. Especially on the floor tiles.
You pun’d out? I have a cleaner. My boyfriend thinks it’s me.
Wipe the judgey look from your face. Before surface tension develops between us, let me explain.
I don’t chalk this up as a ‘lie’. I don’t flat-out claim ‘Sadie’ is my middle name and it’s me scrubbing this place from top to bottom. Don’t picture an image of me stretched out on the couch with a washer over my forehead, as he walks through the door claiming “the bleach has made me woozy”.

I outsource the lawn and garden and make no apologies for that. I own a mower but even the Incredible Hulk couldn't get it started so I'd rather pay someone.
why is having someone to clean your home a problem? If you are paying that person fairly and can afford it, then... good for you. No man would ever think twice about out sourcing, and no one else would either. I live in South Africa, where domestic workers are common and as long as each person is properly and fairly remunerated, with the same employment protection as anyone else (which is the case here legally), then why not? Will the house feel all sad that it's not you personally cleaning it? Are you somehow... lazy for not wanting to scrub the floor? No! You have better things to do and can afford to out source it to someone who probably is glad of the work and is free to say ''no thanks'' at any time they like.
