Which one would you choose?

I would have to say I’m torn between personal chef or someone who cleans all the dishes after cooking

Groceries, going to the supermarket, buying, packing and putting away.

Don't mind laundry, and I often enjoy cooking. I always forget something when I go to the supermarket and I hate putting it all away.

HelloKittySkittles · 14/11/2021 15:53

Changing the bed.

TheMissingMango · 14/11/2021 15:54

Cleaner for the bathrooms. But just never having to wash the kids' lunchboxes would improve my life greatly. I hate doing it.

HereLiesBetelgeuse · 14/11/2021 15:55

Laundry it's the bane of my life!
I quite like cooking and I like cleaning my kitchen but the task of deciding what to make every night would be a close second to the laundry

Blueberry40 · 14/11/2021 15:55

Definitely cleaning the bathroom! The thing I dread doing most.

CommanderBurnham · 14/11/2021 15:56

Alllllll the cooking.

longtompot · 14/11/2021 16:06

I was going to say just to have the bathrooms cleaned, but I see others have said a cleaner for the whole house so I would have that instead.

StrawberryFizz26 · 14/11/2021 16:08

Such a good question.

Either someone to cook or my bathroom cleaned.

sunnyhoneybumblebee · 14/11/2021 16:09

Laundry including putting away

DBI78 · 14/11/2021 16:11

Laundry 100% or hoovering 😂😂

Cornettoninja · 14/11/2021 16:15

Keeping the windows and blinds clean including any stupid ones in internal doors. My most hated job and consequently often the filthiest things in the house.

@longtompot

I was going to say just to have the bathrooms cleaned, but I see others have said a cleaner for the whole house so I would have that instead.
I think they're being a little greedy 🤣but maybe @Soubriquet needs to define 'chore' 🤣🤣

I think I'd say dishes. I don't have a DW & it seems bloody relentless & makes me feel crap (not been very well & I feel hot/sick standing over the warm/hot water).

No one to palm it off to either.

Chef would be nice too, but one that is only here when I click my fingers!! Makes a meal snd buggers off again (preferably after doing the dishes!!)

Cofifeefee · 14/11/2021 16:16

Definitely bathrooms. It is my most hated chore.

SamosaSammy · 14/11/2021 16:16

Laundry without a doubt.

Cleaning the bathroom. I HATE cleaning the bathroom.

Dozer · 14/11/2021 16:18

Cooking, including the meal planning. By far the most time consuming chore.

DueyCheatemAndHow · 14/11/2021 16:20

Laundry. It's never ending. It seems either the basket is full or my bedroom looks like the Next sale with everything to put away.

Skysblue · 14/11/2021 16:24

Cooking!

lobsteroll · 14/11/2021 16:28

Laundry!! Including putting it all away (the worst bit!)

Mabelface · 14/11/2021 16:37

decorating! I hate it.

FlipFlops4Me · 14/11/2021 16:48

I don't mind doing the laundry (although I never iron anything) and I'm lucky enough to have a dishwasher. SInce my DH had his stroke in June I've employed a cleaner who does the polishing, vacuuming, bathroom etc.

I vacuum most days of the week but tbh I'd be so grateful if someone would cook our main meal. Lazy I know, but Oh, I'd love it. Please?

supremelybaffled · 14/11/2021 16:53

Laundry. No matter what you do, it is never finished, ugh.

icelolly12 · 14/11/2021 17:22

Washing dishes or cleaning the floors.

BearSoFair · 14/11/2021 17:24

Changing bedding. Or even just the duvet covers, I don't mind the sheets too much!
