For three years I’ve been having the same dream every week: two men dressed in white come to tell me that my laundry is ready, then they turn away and they appear again in a minute with a basket full of white ironed shirts.
Now many of you may think that this is a nightmare , but for me in my position of a horribly tired housewife this is actually a dream come true. Our family lives in a small counry house in Mount Martha and we take care of a lot of animals. Not that we have a farm that we make profit of but we just raise animals and plants in order to get fresh organic food and take good care of our children as inported fruit and vegetables are often full of nitrates, and the meat they sell in food stores has been imported and is not very fresh. Plus my husband has always lived in a small town as a farm boy and he wanted to keep his life as simple as it used to be before we got married, so he refused to move in my 3 bedroom apartment in St Kilda.
And , of course, living in a small huse with no extras has its risks. For example, I suppose I started having this dream because we do not have a laundry machine at home and I have to either wash our family’s clothers by hand or go to the laundry in town for at least two hours a day. I have really begged my husband to buy one but he is totally against it, so for me this dream is actually what I wish for – someone to do the laundry instead of me and to bring it back refreshed and ironed.
Well, actually I recently found out that this wish is not so hard to be fulfilled , even if the laundry machine is missing and you don’t have time to do laundry even if it was there . You can still have clean and ironed clothes in your wardrobe by simply finding some cleaning services Melbourne companies that offer that type of service and cover the area you live in. I discovered that after I received a cleaning voucher from my girlfriends for some pre-paid housekeeping services with Home Cleaning Melbourne. They came and not just refreshed the whole place every week for a month but also did laundry and ironing services. And no matter how stubborn my husband had been I’m planning to call them back and appoint them on regular basis. It will then really be a dream come true.
