    Oven cleaning, putting clothes away, mopping, cleaning windows....................................i could go on for years.

    My mum came round to do my stairs as at 8 mths pregnant can't do it, she also did all the floors and tidied, i had to put up with her many crticisms of my house keeping skills but my god it was worth it, seriously considering paying her to come every week!!!!!!

    Ironing. So much so that I never do any.

    I don't like doing any housework but as I am a bit of a clean freak I always seem to be doing it!

    Top of my worst things list is probably ironing but that is quickly followed by washing floors, cleaning windows, cleaning the oven, cleaning the bath, dusting, hoovering (which I do at least once a day!). I'd love to ignore it all but I just can't!!!

    Hoovering. Not so much because I dislike it but because it absolutely knackers my back, for some reason.

    Closely followed by washing up, which DH almost always does because I hate it so much.

    I don't mind ironing actually.

    Ironing has to be No1 hate.
    Cleaning the toilet, cleaning the kid's rooms (you never know what kind of lifeform lurks behind the bed), cleaning down the back of the cooker (not a big fan of any housework, sorry).

    It's only a game

    Cleaning the bath and changing the beds . I have a back problem, and stretching over the bath or the beds is agony. I spray the bath clean every day using the shower head, but I have to get the o/h to clean do it properly with Bath cleaner a couple of times a week.

    I've been seriously thinking recently of getting a cleaner for a few hours a week just to do those back breaking jobs , but I'm not sure if it's justified tbh!

    Anything that helps your back pain is justified and I can certainly sympathise....Go on you know your worth it :D
