Mine is brushing my teeth. It just feels like such a chore because I'm clearly very lazy.

Brushing teeth is just so boring. I do some stretches at the same time which helps a teeny tiny bit.

Speak to people at various insurance companies/utilities/phone/bank etc.

I hate brushing my teeth too. I think it's a bit of a feeling thing. As I don't like the feeling of ithe foamed up tooth paste coming out of my mouth. So I now do mine in the shower on a morning. Which feels less awful. But then there's still evening to deal with!

Shayisgreat · 25/09/2020 21:05

Sorting the various insurances/water/broadband etc and getting a good deal. Why do I have to have a 45 min call to get you to give me the deal I know you’ve given others, so frustrating. Also trying to get a standard blood test currently with no sodding online appts so spending 20 min on hold. Can book a smear test online or a b12 injection but nothing else ffs.

Yes to brushing teeth. Can't bloody stand it. And now also having to do toddler's too, although mostly husband does it and he does a much better job!
Also hair removal - hate being hairy but so tired of endless hair removal tasks...
