Most hated housework

[bluemoon]

Cleaning the oven But I've got a new cooker with self cleaning ovens - so I'm sorted

This is my pet hate too, and the self cleaning oven is top of my wish list, trouble is this one of ours seems to be going on for ever.

I don't know if it's usual thing but my OH and the next door neighbour(him) are the same sort-keep all the rubbish because"it might be useful later".I had to get used to that but my neighbour(her)said to me"everytime he goes away(he works month offshore and is month off), I get rid of some stuff,and if he asks me about it,I say it is where you put it the last time".
It doesn't have to be so drastic but sometimes I ask myself"why the earth he needs 10 plugs cut off from faulty electric devices??????"

My OH does that as well and he cuts all the buttons off clothes ( shirts ) why cos he never uses them !!!

I hate ALL housework! I do it if I'm expecting visitors though and it takes me a couple of days - that's without cleaning the oven and dusting the skirting boards and cleaning the windows and hiding the ironing - and there's only me and the cat here

You see Andi & my problem is that we're both hideous hoarders!!!At least if one of us was ruthless & tidy things mightn't be quite so bad!....I'm off to box up 5 years worth of hardly touched colouring in books to donate to the Docs surgery!

tidying my room......... grrrrrrrr

I have been a bit ruthless lately and have got rid without her knowing.

Best way - pickle is good about getting rid now, but when she was tiny she wouldn't let me get rid of anything, so I got in habit of just before birthday or Christmas I clear out while she is at school, but she is distracted by presents so doesn't really notice. I had to be really sneaky about it at first, but now its just accepted as a given that I will do it. All the rooms get done, lazy stepsons room got emptied at weekend, and even at 18 he wasn't permitted an opinion on what, where, or whatever. When I want the boy's opinion, I'll tell him what it is.

We're a family of 5 hoarders, in a too small house So tidying is the worst/hardest job in our house. I don't mind cleaning, but I hate the full day of sorting required just to be able to thoroughly clean one room. Then within half a day, it looks a mess again, which is totally infuriating!
I don't do ironing - the tumble dryer sorts that one out! We have a dishwasher, but if it's full I don't mind hand-washing the overspill.
I do loathe clothes washing, mainly, I think, because you can never stand back and get the satisfaction of saying "That's done" - with 5 of us it's a constant never-ending job
Anyway, whatever housework needs doing, if there's a gardening job to be done, it takes priority

I don't actually like putting the dishes away once they have been washed, but i don't mind washing them.
We have recently got a dishwasher and i don't mind filling it up but i don't like emptying that either.

I hate clothes washing too...my other half has 2 grown up sons and they only seem to wear something for an hour and then it's in the wash.

I don't like cleaning the windows cos if your like me no matter how hard you try to get them smudge free they are always more smudges.

When i lived at home with my parents i used to love to do the ironing but i hate it here and only do it if we are going out, otherwise we use the dryer.

i hate cooking i always find this a chore, it's a good job my other half is a really good cook.

I love hoovering it relaxes me....and i don't mind dusting and i don't mind cleaning the bathroom

[SlugLobber]

My iron has sat in a bag for 4 years, now, poor little thing! No-one has EVER commented on my crease status and I'm the queen of shaping things whilst wet!

Hoovering - necessary evil, what with two furry critters loose in the hoose! I have a friend who is allergic to cats visiting next weekend. I'm not sure whether to hoover my week away or spray everything with water to dampen the dust down!

i don't own an iron, well i do but i packed it off with sons stuff when he went off to uni ... when he joined the army cadets he was told he had to iron his own uniform, which meant he could iron his own school uniform too, me i just buy stuff that doesn't need ironing .... and chuck it in the dryer, even if it's been on the line 10 mins gets rid of most creases

hoovering annoys me cos i always have to empty the hoover from last time i did it and i got a bagless one, and you can't empty the damned thing without all the dust flying up, and i got it cos i'm asthmatic ....... doesn't help lol

Just go on strike until someone else does it lol.....i hate emptying the hoover too......dampen a carrier bag and empty into it, it stops dust flying about too much and helps the chest

I take the whole thing outside to do it so you don't get the dust inside.

[yoanbob]

i usually do it into the compost heap, but the wind always catches it, i usually get son to do the stairs when he's home, so he empties it, cos it's always full of shavings and straw lol
