It seems to be quite common to have one in Spain.
Ours comes fortnightly. I personally think its weird. But I've stopped opposing the idea, as It seems I cant win. : (

A DIY man would be great here too - so many little things I am unable to do or don't have the right tools for. I have lived here for 23 years and when I moved in I bought a set of bathroom stuff - toilet roll holder, towel rail, toothbrush pot - it is still sitting in the carrier bag it came in!

*I could do with a cleaner as things are at the moment but I'm not up to cleaning before she/he comes*
Our house was never tidier than when the cleaner was due, I made everyone clear their junk away.
When we lived in the Med we had a cleaner a couple of days, I was very pregnant and went out on Wednesday when she was due and didn't return for 10 days, with new baby! I'd told OH to make sure he left her money but when I returned we were having a 'conversation', I only had a bit of Spanish, but at one point she said, in Spanish, No money, No work. I took this to mean that he'd forgotten to leave money the previous week but in fact she didn't want paying, he'd hardly been there, all meals at the Mess, so she didn't want paying for no work!

I wouldn't say its taking liberties , its getting use to the house and setting up the quickest routine for completing the job. If you get the same result you were happy with when it took 4 hrs what does it really matter. If you complain it will make her work more slowly and you'll only get the same amount of cleaning done.
