Just need to rant about how stupid my maid is. We are middle of moving house and I asked her to pack all the clothes in the house except for 3 days worth of clothes and to come with the driver to meet me at the new house. I confirmed with her 3 times that she understood the instructions. What did she arrive in the new house with? Yup, 3 days worth of clothes instead of all the clothes minus 3 days. Omfg. Even if she misunderstood or was confused wouldn't common sense dictate that we would bring most of the clothes to the New house and not leave it in the old house, which we have to leave on Friday? And she is aware that we are leaving the old house on Friday. Sigh.

I think you need to simplify and specific in what you telling her. In this case instead of saying pack all but 3 days worth of clothes, tell her to pack 3 days worth of clothes to keep in old house and the rest all bring to new house. This may be less confusing for her.
