    I hate washing up,its gotten worse since becoming unwell with fibromyalgia as my hands are badly affected and i can end up dropping and breaking most of it.I desperately want a dishwasher but have no space so resort to bribing my older children or if im lucky a friend will help out.


    I was going to say emptying the dishwasher, but your post has certainly made me rethink that one :o...just a thought but could you not have a tabletop one...or put your washing machine into a garage :)

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

    What kind of hoover are you using? My back pain got so bad with hoovering I could hardly face doing it...then I bought a very small bagless pull along one, very lightweight (This One). I actually bought it to hoover the cat hair off the sofa more easily but it's so light and powerful I now use it for all hoovering and it really is much, much less painful to use. The dirt container is quite small and you have to empty it every second room or so but really, that's no big deal at all.

    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!

    If the budget will stretch to it, go for it. Of course it's justified if it's for the good of your health!

    Dusting. It just seems so pointless!

    I love hoovering and washing up and most other things though, so it's not all bad.

    Ironing is the pits!!!!

    Cleaning the windows are a close second,along with defrosting and cleaning the fridge/freezer as it's so finicky.I 'only' clean the windows once every 3 months,in fact going to do them this week.The upside being that I really appreciate once they're clean and feel quite smug.
