Here is what you need to know to take care of the house.Actually,there isn't much you need to dobecause I've a maid who comes every Tuesday morning to clean the house.So that'll be Tuesday 14th Tuesday 21st,Tuesday 28th and Tuesday 5th.Her name is Maria Sanchez.she's about 1.70 meters tall and has dark curly hair.She usually comes at around 9 in the morning.So if you hear a knock at the door, it's probably her.She does an absolutely fabulous job.She will dust all the cupboards and shelves,and vacuum and mop the floor.She should also scrub both the kitchen and the bathrooms.If you choose,she will take your laundry to the cleaners first thingand then fetch it before she leaves.If you decide to have her take your clothes to be cleaned,just leave them on the blue chair by the front dooreither Monday night or Tuesday morningbefore Maria arrives 35 pounds should be enough for her to pay the laundry bill;my bill is usually around 28 pounds.Now about the pets.I am sure you have already met my dog.His name is Butch.And my cat.Her name is Princess.They are both quite friendly,so don't be afraid of them.Especially Butch,he is much nicer than he looks.Now,Butch needs to go outside for a walk once a day.Please wak with him for about 45 minutes.This is all the exercise he gets,and he sure needs it.You can find Butch's food on the shelf on the right hand side of the kitchen sink.He usually eats about two cups every day.By the way,on Thursday 28th a new bag of food for Butch will arrive.But it is already paid for,so do not give the postman any money!As for Princess,she is very independent,so you don't have to worry much about her.Just fill her bowl with food whenever you notice that it is empty.Her food is in the same place as Butch's food.Also,please be careful not to leave any windows or doors open.Last time a window was left open.Princess got outside and didn't come home for four days.So be careful.Also,on Wednesday 3rd could you give Princess a bath?
