to ask you what life is too short for?

[Rhinosaurus]

Absolutely fed up with the usual Saturday routine of housework, weekly shop, sorting out crap in the house....

After recently reading Shirley Conran, and in the spirit of her phrase "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom" I would like to say......

Life is too short to bloody well dust skirting boards!

Life is too short to iron.

To iron

ironing
sorting your paperwork anally

But...having had a huge sort out and tidy while DH is away, I also think life is too short not to get this done and then try to keep things tidy - something I am very bad at but trying to improve

Oops cross post but at least I'm not alone!

life is too short to spend hours every day doing any sort of housework

Go out and do something fun instead then do some housework tomorrow. I think life's too short for ironing every piece of clothing - I iron the essentials like school uniform.

yeah everlong - I find it so amusing that the sort of people (me included) who would never dream of dropping litter outside have cars that are like litter bins on wheels :o

Life is too short to clean the oven-pay someone to do it for you.

Life is too short to worry about the state of teenage ds1 bedroom-just close the door and walk past

X posted with 3 others complaining about ironing, haha at least I'm not the only one! :o

although DH doesn'tdrop litter and his car is tidy too
Not sure how he manages that

Life is too short to spend time picking out matching towels for the upstairs bathroom which no one sees and will only end up wet.

can't do housework tomorrow, am planning to have a hangover!

I don't mind ironing in general, but ironing bed linen. Life is really too short for that!

Slightly off topic. Life is too short for energy vampire people. I don't want to be surrounded by negativity
And ironing of course

anither cvote for ironing - the only time the iron has ben used in this house is for name tags on the DC clothes ( that s worth doing because life is too short to spend rooting thru the lost property box)
Life is also too short for what our blithering old fool of a neighbour does, sitting by his front window so he can come out and harangue anyone who park outside his house

Iron!

Ironing goes without saying.
Car cleaning in general. My car has moss growing on it. Inside it is just ugh, filthy. I never notice until I give someone a lift. It's just that I forget about it when I come in the house.

Housework in general.

To clean under or behind furniture.

I only do it on three occasions:-

• when I move house
• when I get new furniture
• if I have lost a small child

Ironing again

worry about the small things and to iron unless really needed

Ironing, housework, telling the kids to tidy their rooms
