:rotfl:I haven't been here long enough to dare start a thread like that :eek:

Give me a few more months :rotfl:

I am feeling quite ashamed.

I don't iron unless it is absolutely necessary, I can't remember the last time I cleaned the oven, hoovering is something that happens to other people, and the last time I took my nets down to wash them was last Spring. They are still clean though, I haven't put them back up yet . I will dust, but only when someone moves something and leaves a clean spot.

On the other hand, I love stripping a chicken carcass down, and clean the bathroom when stressed - nothing like splashing hot bleach about to make you feel better. It just stops at bathroom door.

A wise woman once said that housework was her second favourite chore. The first was smashing her head against a wall until she lost conciousness

I absolutely hate hanging the washing on the line. I have done two loads today and its cold and windy so twice got smacked in the face with cold wet washing YUK.

Love the smell when I bring it in though, so cant have everything can we.

Housework in general for me but the worst is Ironing and cleaning the oven.
I dont do either unless i have to.

No. Got it. Plughole cleaning _pale_

Yuk - that does actually make me feel sick

Ewwwwww shower plughole, definately! Me and OH both have long hair so it gets really clogged up, really quickly. Makes me feel like puking every time. (In fact, I feel rather queasy now just thinking about it!)

When my children were little I used to hate making the girls bunkbeds,I always end up banging my head doing the bottom one and as for balancing on the ladder trying to change the sheet on the top one.:eek:
Now my most hated job is changing the duvet cover on a full winter weight kingsize duvet,I need muscles like Arnie just to lift it and shake it out.
Ironing(whats that);)

hmmmm its a toss up - cleaning the oven or recycling! I wouldnt mind the recycling so much - but my OH is OCD with it! I have to wash up tins - am thinking of buying stock in sticking plasters! I have to soak paper labels off plastic! god help me if he finds a veg peeling in kitchen bin. and i have to remember which bin is for our composting and which one for the council composting -and he goes through the kitchen bin and I have a row if i mistakenly put something recyclable in it! oh, and i cannot convince him that if it says on the packaging it isnt recyblable that it really isnt!

This house was built in 1960 we moved in 7 years ago and I fell in love with the old style larder that was in situe. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I love how cool it is ( Not cool as in fancy but cool in temp) But when ever you open the doors and are cooking the steam present enters within seconds, and the bliddy thing acts like a fridge door left open for ages. Then when closed it produces mould like a flippin madbit.
Result.............mould mould mould, I spend most of my life cleaning this.
BUT I have been told if I place a dish of catlit in a dish in each cupboard the mould will be a thing of the past and I will once again fall in love with my delish old style chilled larder.
I will keep you posted.

I use a long handled washing up brush to save - easier on the hands

....and how do you get around it?

Mine's emptying the caffetiere of all those clogging coffee grounds. The cups get washed up but the caffetiere always seems to get forgotten and the grounds just cling on, go cold and lurk. Don't like to flush them down the sink. Normally end up filling it with water and flushing them out onto the plants outside the kitchen door.

My OH loves his real coffee. When I'm alone I always settle for "instant" to avoid the hassle.
