You have a maid and you're willing to spend a bag-o-sand (or whatever you southern investment banker types call it) on hiring a fancy car for a weekend
But to be fair you can't afford a 4-bed in a nice part of London

The cleaner is an essential and costs £6.50ph x 4 per week. I have nearly eighteen months to save up a grand or so for the weekend car hire. I don't own a car or pay for public transport as I cycle to work.
Not really living the life of the rich and famous is it?

The drivel that comes out of her mouth is almost worth bottling. Fortunately I have no reservations about asking her to substantiate her claims with tangible evidence. This normally has the required effect of seeing her scuttle off into the corner repeatedly muttering the word "Wibble" under her breath in a confused manner.

£26 a week for a cleaner?
It's worse than I thought. Do you write your own posts or do you have a man, nay, a chap to do that for you?

<adapted quote from Hitch Hikers> Ah, some this must be some new definition of the word essential I wasn't previously aware of... </adapted quote>
And I can think of better things you could save up for if you're going to do it for 18 months. What a complete waste of effort! And a grand. Still, if your MIL moves in, I guess you'll be able to sack the cleaner and save yourself all that money...

Actually we may be moving to York at some point so might be able to employ you in some capacity. Maybe you could come and scare the rodents away for us?
I'm thinking about leaving York at some point....
Hah, rodents up here, they'll have your south southern behind mate and then pinch your fancy hire car. We've got rats the size of rabbits on the allotments...
