I would rather streak down the high street than clean my kitchen blinds.

Laundry. So many steps to complete it for my ADHD brain and it Never Fucken Ende.

Sherrystrull · 12/01/2022 18:01

I hate emptying the dishwasher and putting dry washing away.

hopeishere · 12/01/2022 18:02

Putting laundry away. Cannot be arsed.

Bluebluemoon39 · 12/01/2022 18:04

Cleaning the insides of the windows. Never looks any better afterwards.

And the shower. Hate, hate, hate!

DerektheGoose · 12/01/2022 18:04

Cleaning the bathroom. It doesn't take long and I love the result but I fucking hate doing it!

OliviaBond · 12/01/2022 18:05

Cooking tea

Intothelight123 · 12/01/2022 18:06

Washing up - I got a dishwasher
Laundry, hate it

jupitermars1345 · 12/01/2022 18:06

All of it

modgepodge · 12/01/2022 18:09

Putting washing away.

Also hate cleaning the bathroom and changing bedsheets. I’ve employed a cleaner to do that though so that’s no longer an issue. Can’t really employ someone just to put clothes away though

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 12/01/2022 18:12

Washing.

I don't mind doing the individual tasks but I HATE how much of it there is and how it never ends

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/01/2022 18:14

Changing my bed

Inastatus · 12/01/2022 18:15

Definitely changing the beds. My superking duvet cover is an arsehole!

skyblueone · 12/01/2022 18:17

Putting the food shopping away. Gives me the rage.

JorisBonson · 12/01/2022 18:18

Oh I hate putting washing away too. Absolute ballache.

Cleaning the shutters.
Hanging up laundry to dry.

NinaProudman2022 · 12/01/2022 18:19

Cleaning the toilet and cleaning the skirting boards.

DerektheGoose · 12/01/2022 18:22

I love love love doing laundry cos my brand new Samsung eco bubble machine is such a happy little soul when I program him and when he finishes the load he's so fucking pleased with himself!

childbenefitq · 12/01/2022 18:23

Mopping...urgh 🤮

TooMuchSugar22 · 12/01/2022 18:23

Packing away the ironing.
Love washing, hanging to dry and even ironing it. HATE packing away

See also pack lunches detest making those.

AndStand · 12/01/2022 18:23

Cleaning the oven, and defrosting the freezer.
I like doing laundry though 😊

Amberheartkitty · 12/01/2022 18:24

Ironing.

Bluebluemoon39 · 12/01/2022 18:25

Cleaning the shutters.

This too, however it's a doddle compared to when I had those horrible slatted blinds with strings!

HighlandCowbag · 12/01/2022 18:28

Fucking all of it. But in order of hate

  1. Cleaning the oven. I cheat and get someone in.
  2. Skirting boards
  3. Cleaning the carpets
  4. Cleaning the grout in the bathroom
Champagneforeveryone · 12/01/2022 18:36

Emptying the dishwasher Hmm

I loathe it with a passion, though we're buying a house with no dishwasher or space for one (in the immediate future) I suspect I will shortly realise what a princess I actually am Grin

AugustRose · 12/01/2022 18:38

Cleaning the oven, I hate it. It's not as bad since we stopped eating meat but still gets dirty.
