to think dusting should be

[2shoes]

banned
omg it is a shit job, and so bloody pointless

Hear hear!

I like doing it...nice to see all the dust go and surfaces all shiny

2 year old dd likes to do ours

Dusting, ironing, washing windows, all pointless and thankless IMO.

Quite agree.

Dust makes me sickly and cough a lot. But yes I hate it. You dust and then two days later everything is covered in dust again... it is both unfair and evil and clearly a malicious substance.

I must admit I am curious, I can't stand having dusty surfaces (I may be in the minority with Puss)

So I take it that those of you who have responded have ....... (pause for breath for effect) dirty houses

I dust so infrequently i get cross if anyone moves any of my ornaments.

Mumtocharlieandlola - my house is minging.

I hardly ever dust

I have a very dirty house MUmtoCharlieand Lola. But If I have people coming round I do make an effort to clean the bits they might see

As Quentin Crisp once famously said, "After four years you don't notice the dust."

Don't bother - tedious and pointless job! Never do it except when I can't see the tv screen!!

Get a toddler to do it. Mine's very good, I could send him round for a fee (and a packet of white chocolate buttons).

roll on quentin crisp .....

Honestly, I couldn't sleep at night, I don't know how you can just leave it !!!

Actually, its only the TV that gets on my wick and thats only because its black and shiny and you can see the dust.

my dear sil once pointed out to me, that I was supposed to lift the ornamenets and dust not just dust round them

isn't that what hoover attachments are for?!

lift the ornaments 2shoes?!

I might get RSI

I will only agree to banning dusting if we can included ironing as well. Another mind numbing job.

crackfox, what's ironing?

I don't have ornaments, solves that problem.

The only time the dirty tv screen bothers me is when the sun shines on it and I see all the ds's finger marks. Easily solved by pulling the curtains

@ pelly!

I find the dust gives a flattering soft focus look myself!

Was trying to guess the next line before I opened the thread, thought it might be "to think dusting should be...done daily?"

So glad it isn't

my toddler is an ace duster too. If only he could be trusted with a stepladder...

I find abolishing overhead lighting helps. Lamp light gives life (including DH) a softened look I find most soothing.
