Sitting on the sofa watching my child hoover

DD is 9, it's the summer holidays, I'm tired from working all week and rushing back and forth to holiday clubs, and sick to the back teeth of the words "I'm booooorrrred'.

Today every time she says 'I'm bored' she gets given a housework task. So far she has wiped down the kitchen cupboard doors, swept the kitchen floor and is now hoovering the living room.

What else can I add to the list?

Clean the skirting boards. I hate doing that 🤣

Does the chimney need sweeping? Wink

Has she tried on old school uniform yet?

School uniform is actually on her to do list. I'm pretty sure I've bought everything but she needs to check and also confirm if shoes still fit and don't have any holes/flapping soles/scuffs that have reached the nearly holes stage.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone!

Dusting is now added, as is skirting boards.

Can she come and weed my garden? My teens are too busy gaming to do it for me.
