Oh, great.

There follows a direct translation of the carefully printed note (in german and spanish) I found under my door when I got home today:


New suggestions for flat-maintenance tasks Berlin, 22.5.04

D has taken care of many tasks relating to the flat (carefully cleaning kitchen and bathroom, washing, decorating of the flat), without complaining or asking money for doing so.

She has now arrived at a point where this no longer feels right for her.

D therefore suggests that those who do not wish to partake in cleaning activities of common rooms (hall, kitchen, bath, closets) pay 5 euro into a fund made available to those who do partake in the work.

Those who do wish to take part in the shared cleaning, have the following options

Possibilities for the realisation of D's suggestion

a) weekly hoovering of all common rooms (hall, kitchen, bath)

b) weekly mopping of kitchen floor

c) weekly thorough cleaning of the bathroom (mirror, sink, toilet, bath, floor)


Come back bollocks, all is forgiven.
