If for one week somebody came in and did a chore for you what would it be?

Mine would be somebody to put ALL the clean laundry away. It's neverending.

waikikamookau · 22/06/2013 09:38

EagleRiderDirk · 22/06/2013 09:39

Dusting, I hate dusting with a vengeance!

mrspaddy · 22/06/2013 09:40

I love dusting though

Wash the kitchen floor My cat does nt eat he smears meat everywhere it's beyond gross scraping up hard cat meat

BabyStone · 22/06/2013 09:43

Either the washing up or sweep, hoover and mop all floors. Even though its a small 2 bedroom flat, with open plan kitchen and front room, just seems to be a never ending amount of hair, fluff etc on the floor

didireallysaythat · 22/06/2013 09:44

Tidy up

JollyShortGiant · 22/06/2013 09:45

I hate cleaning the bathroom. With a passion. Anything else is not so bad.

CaptainJamesTKirk · 22/06/2013 09:47

Ironing

bulletwithbutterflywings · 22/06/2013 09:49

The washing. Bit they would have to do all of it - sorting to washing to hanging out and tumbling to putting away. This feels like my whole life!

bootsycollins · 22/06/2013 09:51

Deep clean of the bathroom please

Graceparkhill · 22/06/2013 09:52

Agree- the bathroom is my least fave chore.

I like doing the bathroom Jolly. I'll swap you for the hoovering Smile

Moomoomie · 22/06/2013 10:06

I'm with butterflywings on this one...... But can I have longer than a week?

Iheartcustardcreams · 22/06/2013 10:08

Sorting out the washing! I hate it!

4leafclover · 22/06/2013 10:15

Sorting the washing out..Definitely the worst job in the world!

TheCrackFox · 22/06/2013 10:16

The whole laundry process - sorting, washing, drying and putting it away.

VerySmallSqueak · 22/06/2013 10:20

To go through and sort out all the paperwork.
If there's time left over to sort the loft out.
Then the sheds.
And weed the main flowerbed.....

How many hours a day can I have them for???

xigris · 22/06/2013 10:28

Laundry. All of it. Washing, drying, sorting, ironing and putting away. Would be wonderful

Frontdoorstep · 22/06/2013 11:16

Probably the hovering. However, I love doing all aspects of the washing. If there's no washing, I go and look for something to wash.

amigababy · 22/06/2013 11:28

??? at laundry, we hardly seem to have any, at least not enough to cause anguish , there are 3 of us.

My choice is gardening, a full week might just sort it out

expatinscotland · 22/06/2013 11:28

Mopping. I fucking hate it.

SirChenjin · 22/06/2013 11:30

Declutter the house and garage and take everything to the tip/recycling point

greenhill · 22/06/2013 11:40

Hoovering: but you'd spend at least an hour or so picking up a tidal wave of toys and plastic clutter off the floor first.

I'd happily do someone else's laundry, pegging it outside, ironing it and folding / putting away though
