I've done lots of chambermaiding and waitressing and I much preferred being a chambermaid, turn up in your scruffs, get the music blasting and off you go. One place I worked we used to make cups of tea in the rooms and sit out on the balcony in the sunshine, then dive back through the window if we saw the manageress coming! Another time we were looking for one of the boys everywhere on changeover day, we eventually found him fast asleep rolled up in a huge pile of dirty bedlinen. They were some of the happiest times of my life, we were left to our own devices and had such a laugh. It sounds like you and your hubby have come up with a really great solution to working long hours and never seeing each other. xxCityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516582745943708173.post-20319251506888716662013-02-16T05:01:05.600-08:002013-02-16T05:01:05.600-08:00I think it's fantastic.
