I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Nealsmama, I absolutely hate it when I get the event as soon as I open a family. The event actually appears in game BEFORE the new trash does. So, even if you pay for the service, it only cleans things you left there when you closed the game the last time. All the new stuff appears AFTER the maids are done. It's highly annoying, especially when you have an elderly couple without kids and you've been hoping for the event to help them out a lil. hehe
