Cleaning out lunchboxes

Putting away laundry

KezzabellaB · 24/01/2019 18:11

Washing floors
Putting the bins out
Cleaning the shower

Everything else I'm OK with! Smile

Cleaning the bathrooms!
Always gets left until last and then it is even worse!
Not as bad as mil though. Her bathroom is truly disgusting.

DavetheCat2001 · 24/01/2019 18:18

Cleaning windows sucks too

I hate hanging up washing to dry... I have no idea why this seems to infuriate me so much.

Jackshouse · 24/01/2019 18:21

Emptying the filter of the tumble drier. Not the one you do every wash but the big one at the bottom.

icannotremember · 24/01/2019 18:24

Peeling potatoes, I will do a lot to get out of that
Emptying the food waste bin
Ironing (so I don't, basically, unless I have to. My DM thinks I am a negligent mother who needs referring to social services for not ironing school uniforms).

BillywigSting · 24/01/2019 18:24

Anything to do with laundry (except folding since I started doing marie kondo)

Cleaning dishes

Picking up lego (ds does try to tidy it up but he always misses bits. He is only five though)

Cleaning skirting boards

Anything to do with cleaning the bathroom. I'm really short so I struggle to reach about 90% of it and always end up with an achey back.

Changing bedding.

Ironing (I know it's laundry but it gets a special mention. There is a deep dark place in hell for the inventor of the iron)

Really I'm not a fan of housework in general.

DavetheCat2001 · 24/01/2019 18:33

Tidying up kids toys.. yes!

Particularly Pokemon cards which are current favourites with my DS and I keep finding bloody everywhere 🙄

I hate washing up, I get so cross if I get splashed or if any tap water bounces off onto me. It really offends me for some reason.

MrsRobot71 · 24/01/2019 18:52

Emptying the grounds from the cafetière.

Greenteandchives · 24/01/2019 20:05

Cleaning Venetian blinds. No contest.

formerbabe · 25/01/2019 10:30

Cleaning Venetian blinds

It's a dreadful job but I discovered a much easier way is just not to bother Grin

BluthsFrozenBananas · 25/01/2019 10:39

Hoovering the stairs
Washing chair and sofa covers
Cleaning the oven
Cleaning the windows
Ironing (although I’m lucky because DH likes ironing so I hardly ever do it, he even irons bedclothes)

Dowser · 25/01/2019 10:48

Putting dirty dishes into a dishwasher...I just hate putting my hand in there, which is why I don’t have one. It makes me feel sick
People who do have them seem to have stacks of dirty plates etc lying around because the dishwasher is full and hasn’t been switched on or the stuff has been cleaned but not put away

We wash ours after meals .so no dirty dishes lying around.

Enko · 25/01/2019 10:49

working out what to have for dinner each day

BillywigSting · 25/01/2019 12:29

I flat out refuse to clean the oven. I have asthma and the oven cleaner makes my chest hurt for days.

Either dp cleans it or it doesn't get cleaned. I have to stay out of the kitchen when he does it too.

Hoovering the stairs isn't that bad it's just a pain in the arse

xWallToWallBastardsx · 25/01/2019 12:52

Making packed lunches. Also I found its cheaper to pay for school dinners as it means I don't need to shop as often.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 25/01/2019 12:55

Cleaning the oven. Hideous.
Cleaning the shower cubicle because it takes ages.
Drying up washed dishes if you need more space on the drainer.
Emptying the tumble dryer water catcher. I have no idea why but it irrationally annoys me even though it's a really quick task.

zolaaa · 25/01/2019 13:01

Cleaning dirt off mushrooms! 🤣
