I hate washing dishes. I don't have a dishwasher so I am doing them all by hand. It seems like they are never ending. I get one load done and I am on to the next load. Ugh.

What is your least favorite chore?
Can we switch?

My least favourite chore is vacuuming...I despise it!

One of my favourite chores is dishes, actually...so I'd definitely trade you.

I'll trade you as long as you have a good vacuum. My vacuum sucks so it is a somewhat tedious job. But one I like.

Hi Googley,

Folding laundry and putting it away. Ugh. I don't really have enough closet space so I just leave things on the dresser. I sometimes wish things would put themselves away, like in Mary Poppins.
Thanks for this!

Cleaning bathrooms is my never-do. The downstairs half bath for "guests" gets cleaned before we have guests but the upstairs, our bathroom, only gets cleaned when it's so gross I can't stand it (and that's pretty gross :-)

I love washing dishes! I'll do yours if you'll do the ironing for me.

I quite like washing dishes once I convince myself I need to do them!!
I HATE HATE HATE hoovering (Googly - vacuum cleaners are meant to 'suck' otherwise they don't pick anything up ) I can't stand the noise of the hoover.
Cleaning bathrooms etc is something I quite enjoy once I manage to convince myself to start (gotta love depression and apathy)
I never iron anything, occasionally if I'm going out somewhere I'll iron whatever I'm going to wear otherwise I don't iron (I used to be obsessive about it lol).
Anyone want my chores? Come on over!!!

Thanks for this!

I hate every bit of house work. Hate, hate, hate it.

Right now my house is in need of repairs that make it even harder for me to clean. The kitchen sink drain onto the floor, the washer and dryer don't work, no electric in the bathroom (which is where I have to wash dishes), clothes line is broken,...

I often eat out of the pot I've cooked in...cuts out the middleman...and saves on dishes....or I eat from sealed containers so if theres left overs I just put the lid on and leave it for the next meal...I used to love to cook but now I only eat because I'm diabetic...I don't have a relationship with food ...

I wash dishes several times a day even though we have a severe water shortage. I wish I had a dishwasher!! But I can't stand seeing dirty dishes so I wash AND dry all the time.

I clean my bathrooms once a day as well. I am very fussy with them.

I hate ironing! So boring!

I also despise ironing. I also hate cleaning the kitty litter but I don't let it pile up because it would be even more disgusting.
