Hmm, a 'didi' moved into the flat today. Didi is the word for older sister and is basically someone who lives in and helps with cleaning and cooking. She has been appointed to help me turn over the bedroom each time someone moves in and out of the spare room (a volunteer moved in for 2 weeks yesterday). She seems very nice and doesn't speak any English which is good for my Nepali (although my Nepali is such that at the moment things are just a bit awkward as I try to explain things). I had said that if I was on my own I didn't want her to cook for me, and I thought that she would only clean the communal areas like the office and kitchen (which everyone uses during the day). However I went to my room after work to find that she had made my bed and cleaned and neatly arranged everything. She has also cleaned the whole house which is kind of mortifying because I made real efforts to clean up yesterday before my temporary flat mate moved in but there is a significant improvement in the level of cleanliness now so I must look like quite the slob. Which wouldn't be far off the mark, its just embarrassing when other people realise.
I feel uncomfortable that she is cleaning up after me. Obviously I will tell her not to clean my room anymore and I hope this prompts me into tidying up after myself a bit more. But lets not get carried away. I still haven't been to the gym after all. But on that note I spotted a sports shop today that sells hula-hoops! I'll be getting one as soon as I can.
