Hanging washing on the line, especially when it's lots of the same things

Aquamarine1029 · 22/07/2024 14:39

...doing housework/cleaning. It's my way of meditating.

I don't like gardening. I love nature, love plants, I just don't like having to deal with them. I've tried to enjoy it and I just can't get there.

I like gardening but can’t keep up with the maintenance. Good thing the little DCs like watering, although they get more water on themselves than the plants.

I quite enjoy cooking but really don’t like meal planning. I prefer to be spontaneous!

Hoovering. It’s satisfying.

Washing up. The hot water is soothing.

Mowing the lawn. Instant gratification.

Thevelvelletes · 22/07/2024 15:33

Eating.😋

pinkchristmaspudding · 22/07/2024 15:34

Peeling and chopping veg. Love it.

Putting the clean dishes away. HATE it. Also cleaning the bathroom.

MeinKraft · 22/07/2024 15:38

The smell of sweaty socks Blush

Gladtobeout · 22/07/2024 15:56

I love folding the clean clothes into neat little piles.

I hate putting said piles away into wardrobes/drawers. More often that I care to admit, the piles get left and returned to the basket for me to fold again the following day.

ClickClack300 · 22/07/2024 15:58

I like putting the nice fresh smelling clean washing away……

without ironing it…..

because I hate ironing and don’t do it

moggerhanger · 22/07/2024 15:59

I love washing and drying laundry but hate ironing.

I also hate, with a passion, grating cheese.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 22/07/2024 16:00

I like jet-washing the dog's outside space

I do not like weeding

Matching socks. I almost sobbed with pleasure yesterday when a match was found for a long timer, its said farewell to the singles in the bag and is back into the system!

Normallynumb · 22/07/2024 16:04

I love doing washing too. and the gentle scent of my fabric conditioner
I even fold my pants in rectangles to store them
I don't iron anything
Most hated chore is stripping my bed also putting my rubbish out

GameOfJones · 22/07/2024 16:05

I like doing the food shopping.

I also like doing laundry (washing, tumble drying or hanging out on the line up until I have to put the clean clothes away.... I hate that bit.)

I also like cleaning mirrors.

I like hanging up the washing outside when it's warm enough to do so - I actually feel a bit sad if someone else gets there first

I hate putting laundry away

Moontoboon · 22/07/2024 16:06

Doing the washing up in the sink.

Hanging laundry outside.

Sorting through cupboards and tidying them.

Moontoboon · 22/07/2024 16:09

Running up hills.

OvO · 22/07/2024 16:09

I like cooking.

I don’t like choosing what’s for dinner day after day, eon after eon.

Moontoboon · 22/07/2024 16:12

I also like running in the rain.

Running up hills in the rain is genuinely awesome as far as I am concerned.

NoWayItWas · 22/07/2024 16:13

...dogs in cafes and restaurants.

Mirror cleaning tips please - mine are all smeary and nothing i do makes any difference😊

OptimismvsRealism · 22/07/2024 16:22

Not having to do any household chores because I'm an adult and the decider.

Haven't hoovered in about two months

I clean a lot of glass partitions, doors, mirrors at work ( I am a cleaner in a pharmaceutical/ sterile premises).
We use Isopropyl Alcohol Spray ( available on Amazon, but quite possibly elsewhere too) and a clean dry microfibre cloth. Perfect results every time with minimum effort as the spray just evaporates and leaves sparkling glass.

We've met on threads like this before, haven't we? I also love matching up odd socks.
