Cleaning the toilet! Everything else is fine.

Emptying the dishwasher

moomoogalicious · 15/11/2018 22:44

Getting ready in the morning. Wish there was a machine that would make me showered, dressed and did my hair and makeup.

LittleBirdBlues · 15/11/2018 22:45

Tidying. I bloody hate it! And with
3 kids under 5 there's SO much junk everywhere.

I don't mind cleaning and doing laundry, and I like cooking a lot. Hoovering and dusting I just never really do (we have a cleaner). I don't iron anything ever.

Ragwort · 15/11/2018 22:46

Vacuuming, not that I do it every day, more like every fortnight (not joking) but I hate it with a passion. And have tried every vacuum cleaner going (currently have four including a Shark) & still hate it.
Will happily iron every day though Smile.

Tigger001 · 15/11/2018 22:48

Ironing , I hate hate hate , so I don't

craftymum01 · 15/11/2018 22:49

I hate the dishwasher too. For some reason it's the smell that bothers me rather than the actual act.

Changing the bin liner. Vile.

Seniorschoolmum · 15/11/2018 22:49

Unloading the dishwasher. And ironing duvet covers

Mummy2one2016 · 15/11/2018 22:55

I hate peeling potatoes, totally detest doing it and my DH would eat potatoes with every meal.

Also agree with the dish washer it a a never ending task

villainousbroodmare · 15/11/2018 22:59

I love peeling potatoes as long as they are clean. I loathe folding laundry and putting it away.

AuraBora · 15/11/2018 22:59

Washing up. It seems to be never ending now I am at home with a baby (baby bottles in particular!). Been considering a dishwasher for a while but think I hate loading/unloading even more! Oh and agree with pp, the whole getting ready in the morning thing is so tiresome. I used to enjoy it but now I can't really have a shower in peace so seems like a bit of a chore. Wish I was one of those people who aren't bothered about a shower in the morning...

Sunnysidegold · 15/11/2018 22:59

Cleaning the sink drain after washing up. Hair out of shower plug hole. Both grim. Changing bin bag and emptying dish washer are just a pain in the arse.

AuraBora · 15/11/2018 23:00

On the other hand, I quite enjoy putting out washing to dry then folding it up and putting it away (yes I do skip the ironing stage!)

Sunhill4 · 15/11/2018 23:02

All of it! Love walking my dogs & my job but hate all household chores. My poor hubby has lost his business after 30 years so am gradually passing over the boring stuff to him as I work long hours. Every cloud . . .

mawbroon · 15/11/2018 23:04

All of them 😥

Ooplesandbanoonoos · 15/11/2018 23:04

Emptying the dishwasher (i unsuccessfully delegate this to DH-i enjoy most other housework)

TheFirstOHN · 15/11/2018 23:05

Planning the week's meals, checking the cupboards & fridge for which ingredients we already have and then sorting out the grocery shop. I've been doing this weekly since the beginning of this century. I have no idea why I find it such a chore; I just do.

Sparrowlegs248 · 15/11/2018 23:05

Emptying the kitchen waste bin.

Milliepatch · 15/11/2018 23:06

Drying my rather long hair

RedCabbageHowMuch · 15/11/2018 23:06

Anything clothes related! Washing, pegging out, putting away and especially ironing, loathe it Angry

RedCabbageHowMuch · 15/11/2018 23:06

Oh and making the school pack up

SelinaMyers · 15/11/2018 23:07

Vacuuming. I avoid it at all costs. The noise puts me on edge
