I love washing my back yard with Jeyes fluid every other weekend . My DP absolutely hates it but I actually really look forward to it Blush

I also quite enjoy hoovering. I wouldn't say I love it or look forward to it but it's quite soothing.

Most of all though, I completely love love love wrapping Christmas presents. People have joked that they'd pay me to do their wrapping for them. I would fucking love to.

Oh and deadheading roses. Other people’s non-deadheaded gardens make me itch to do it

I absolutely love dusting and hoovering.

I dont like having to move all of the stuff off the floor to Hoover though

@buddinggrower how do you make the taps etc all shiny and lovely? Mine are shiny after they've just bee cleaned but then get covered in crud quickly.

Jeyes fluid in the garden? Just why? That'll be good for the bugs and birds.

I'm with you on wrapping Christmas presents, though.

I like ironing tea towels, I find it very relaxing and satisfying.

@CassianAndor "Garden" is a stretch. It's a concrete Victorian back yard. There's currently one speck of greenery which is a stinger growing out of the wall. No bugs (well, minimal numbers of bugs) are harmed in my Jeyes fluid rampages Grin

Food shopping

Wrapping presents with a large glass of red wine on the go

Oooh that's made me all excited for Christmas!

I squirt them with clear vinegar first, then I clean the bathroom, and as part of cleaning and rinsing sink and bath, I just wipe around the tap and it should have any calcium deposits all fizzed away and be shiney. It takes two secs, to just wipe it over and then a quick wipe with a clean towel to instant shiney!

The best thing ever for a final polish is just a square of basic loo paper, it makes taps positively gleam!
