Things I absolutely won't do at home.

[Gettingbysomehow]

Cleaning the oven.
Cleaning the car.

I get professional cleaners to do these for me because just no....life is too short.

Im so jealous of this! I live in a converted flat and basically all rooms require steps. I wish so badly I could have a robit hover

I don't understand the robo vac love. I bought one, but it takes me ages to put all the dining chairs up on the table and the bar stools up on the island worktop, move the veg trolley out of the room, etc. And that's only the kitchen. If I let him into the hall, I have to move a million shoes coz he chokes on shoelaces, put the shoe rack outside coz he gets jammed under it. Ditto the hall table with the lamp on with the trailing wire. On and on and on. Hopeless.

I don’t move any of that stuff! Mine just negotiates itself around dining chairs etc.

Any housework.

Mine has sensors and doesn’t get caught on stuff, I do occasionally pick everything up and let it do its thing, but that’s the same when vacuuming anyway.

It fits perfectly under my sofas which is great, but if it doesn’t go under stuff, it goes round it.

And it mops!

Dye my own hair

I don’t clean my own car or oven buts it’s outsourced to dh so free (chemicals and water aside). I’ve outsourced nearly all household tasks to him as he’s retired and I’m not!

We do have a window cleaner because it’s a 3 storey townhouse.

You’re lucky you can afford to hire people to do these tasks. Not everyone can.

Yep! Mine’s the same! I love her so much. Yes, I’ve anthropomorphised her.

@YoQuieroVino I had a robot vacuum and it got stuck within minutes and needed to be emptied every 20-30 minutes, pretty useless - whereas retired husbands can whip around the house whilst your at work, I do recommend them

Our one allows you to give it a name…

I’m with you!

Did yours not go back and empty itself? Mine does and washes the mop pads.

Rarely gets stuck.

My retired husband has plenty of other things he does!

I don’t clean the oven regularly but feel I have to step in and say if you had a clean oven cleaning it once a week wouldn’t take up any time!

I’d love a cleaner but ironically mn have put me off cleaners because your house is supposed to be quite clean for a cleaner to clean!!!

I hate washing frying pans. Totally irrational but it drives me crazy!!! Also washing windows!!

I have just left the oven alone. I don't even look at the walls of it anymore. When we bought the salesman said it was self-cleaning (I don't know the technology, but it wasn't, I presume some sort of non-stick) and now after several battles, I just don't care anymore. Life is too short, it can do what the fuck it wants. I do hoover it every now and then.

I have a window cleaner
I'll take my car to to the local car wash 🤨

But I'll always hoover my car yself and will iron my clothes - I like to look nice

I highly recommend outsourcing the cleaning of your BBQ. Make it an annual thing, like service the boiler, deep clean the dishwasher, deep clean the oven....

Well I do!
like I said it doesn’t actually take that long to clean it fully if wiped down after every use, my oven gets used every day and some days it’s used for most of the day

Why pay someone when you can do it in half a hour yourself??
🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Do you go to the same car wash as me?

It takes half a hour to clean my oven once a week!
wipe it down after every use to keep it clean!

It takes me half a hour to clean it once a week!!!

No I just like a clean over

That’s half an hour I spend doing something more fun than cleaning my oven!

Calm down love.
