Thank You Kidspot Mums Say , Viva Kleenex Mums & Dial An Angel.

Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to win a competition via Kidspot Mum Say, Kleenex's Viva Mums &  DIAL AN ANGEL Home and Family Care for 12 x 3hr sessions of domestic cleaning. Today I've finally had a cleaner come in for the first time and the house has been  vacuumed, the bathrooms have been cleaned and the floors have been washed!


I won this competition by simply writing a review at Kidspot's Mums Say after being sent Viva products to trial.  We used the products around the house, I started writing a review which turned into a mammoth post  so I posted a basic review on the Mum Say trial group for this product and then wrote a full post about it on my blog which you can read A Modern Man & Family.  I was entered into the competition and it was as SIMPLE AS THAT! I suggest if you are not signed up there already you should defiantly do it now! I didn't really expect to win and was totally blown away when I did! I suggest you also check out Kleenex's Viva Mums  as they have really great things on their website too.



                                       

I have never had a cleaner come into my home before so I wasn't too sure on what I should really ask them to do? I checked in with DIAL An ANGEL Home and Family Care and asked them what I should ask them to do? The lovely Carol who is looking after my file told me that they do everything BUT window cleaning and blinds so this defiantly gave me something to think about. With this information I made myself a bit of a list of the things I thought needed doing and booked in the cleaner to come to my home. Thank goodness they were so accommodating this week as I have decided to have a bit of a birthday bash and Christmas party and even though I would have got it all done I now can focus on getting other things done...like writing this blog post for a start!  A lovely local lady came to my home and has done all that I have asked of her, even with a little sidekick named Aston. The quality of her work is fantastic, she was very pleasant and a very hard worker.



Thank You Kidspot Mums Say , Viva Kleenex Mums & Dial An Angel this prize is defiantly not going to go to waste!

Have you ever had a cleaner come in to your home? What did you get them to do and how frequently did you get them to come? Next time I plan to be more organised so I can actually get other things done while the cleaner is here. This time I felt kind of strange telling the lady what she had to do and actually did some cleaning/organising myself (post to come about that) Oh and I wanted to let you know I wasn't paid or given anything (apart from my prize I won fair and square) to write this post. I just thought I would let you all know about the 3 sites in case you wanted to check them out to win your own prizes, trial products yourself or needed a babysitter,nanny or cleaner.

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

Since it was my first time I don't think I really took full advantage of it and enjoyed it like I will the next time! How awesome is your Mum giving that to you! I need to use this time to blog more!

What an awesome prize :) I've had cleaner in the past when I was working full time. I always got them to clean bathroom, toilet, kitchen, laundry as those seemed to be the messiest areas and the ones I hated cleaning the most.

Chantelle {fat mum slim} said...

So glad you enjoyed it. xx

Hi Fiona,

Would you mind if we used your lovely words as a testimonials for our website?

Thank you :)

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

Thanks Kelley I will!

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

Melissa you are welcome. I like saying Thank You, I think society is forgetting to do that a little but good manners and being nice doesn't cost you anything. I think you should get to trial some things that you have to promote!Tell your boss I said so lol. Totally get that written into your contact.

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

You are welcome Dial An Angel, good service deserves to be written about too not just the bad experiences people love to shout about from roof tops and blogs. The cleaner that came to my home was fantastic please make special note to thank her please!

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

I am so excited I won Marita but I was a bit scared as I didn't really know what I should ask them to do? I think I will get over that worry pretty fast though! Thanks for the ideas, I need to defiantly get them to do those things I dislike the most.

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

Thanks Chantelle! I was so blown away when I found out I had won. Having a cleaner is something I am not use to having but I reckon I could learn to live with it ;) Thanks again to Kidspot and Mums Say. I tell people all the time to get over there and sign up!

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...
