Chores you don’t want to do today

I really should sort out the study but I'm going to make a and shut the door on it because my new yarn has just arrived (courtesy of Hermes!) and I want to finish a project.

ps I've already been to the surgery, polished and vacuumed and done three loads of washing. May I relax now, please?

Oldnproud Annoying, isn't it - I slide a broad bladed knife in there to get the fluff out.

Where does all the fluff come from?

I hate housework but must vacuum today as I can shamefully see cobwebs in the corners and I expect a visitor tomorrow.

... if you've got cobwebs - you've already got visitors...

I've been out all day, the recycling absolutely needs to go out. So, here goes! I'll put on my jacket, boots and gloves and actually do it. But oh, I don't want to go back out into the cold. Right - go!!!!

Job done!!! Not half as bad as thinking about it!!!

I live in london and would be afraid a Hermes parcel might be stolen. I did everything on my list, Mr Grumpy helped a lot in the garden. I want to get some spring bulbs and then let my three year old grandaughter ‘help’ to plant them. This was why all my pots needed emptying. Mr Grumpy now has to take several bags of garden rubbish to the dump, which he claims to hate doing.

Didn’t feel a bit like doing it but today my bloke & I wrapped up warm & finished painting the garden fence! Dead proud of the finished look. I also went to B&Q & bought six fan shaped plant supports for the fence & painted 2 of those too. It was very windy & the wind chill wasn’t much fun but we’ll soon be all ready for spring.
A good nights sleep & mind over matter. Character building stuff!

I emptied the top of the wardrobe in the spare room today. I can't face putting it all back!

I never want to do any chores - but today I cleaned the (large) living room window (the frame too, as it was covered in mildew/mould) by standing on a chair, then cleaned all the mirrors in the house, then did some washing, vacuumed through downstairs rooms, wiped all the skirting (they hadn't been done in ages), made a dinner by actually following a recipe. That's enough for today.

I need to send out some invoices. I know they are an important part of my business but they are also the most boring part. I have a couple of lovely clients who sometimes just work it out for themselves and pay me, rather than waiting for a bill, bless them.

There was also a pile of ironing but MrHB did that while I was working.

Cutting back the hedges and pruning the roses. It's so cold out there.

I'm going to stay in and recover my ironing board and do some sewing.

Sorting and cleaning cupboards and drawers. All of them. It will be a long job as the house is full of “ stuff” and I’m determined this year it is going one way or another Just need OH out of the way or he mooches through then puts everything back ?

I need to do some washing but as we have had no water for the last 3 hours or so I have gone back to reading my book, rather than do other odd jobs like cleaning the oven !

Can I be in your club please Shysal?
Chores = visited on us by the devil.

Need to do my vat. I have to go digital next quarter so this one is a trial run. Watched loads of videos which are mind numbingly boring and still not confident. HMRC are a pain making small businesses do this, I have much better things to do with my time - like reading Gransnet!

I have a large mountain or ironing to do but I'm sitting in the hairdressers reading gransnet and thinking of excuses not to tackle the mountain when i get home.

Ones you really, really don want.

I don’t want to take two parcels to the local Hermes drop off. Rude staff there
Need to clear the garden a bit. It’s cold and I don’t like gardening which is why I have pots
Doing dinner for later
General vac round but don’t mind that so much!

All trivial I know,
Any one else?

You can arrange a pick up from Hermes.. that might solve the issue of having to deal with rude staff. Just avoid them altogether

I don't feel like doing anything today, least of all taking kitchen cupboard doors back to Ikea. It's been an awful couple of weeks where I have lost my dog and the stepfather I adored as a child. Today, I'd like to crawl back to bed and pretend the world isn't happening but I can't.

I need to defrost my freezer - actually both of them - but one more urgent than the other. I hate that job, especially in winter. I was hoping it would last until the warmer weather but sadly no. The light is on showing it is no-longer cold enough despite being on continuously. Everything is frsty and the door barely shuts. Oh dear!!

The oven door is on the kitchen table (took it off, then took it apart) - all clean and shiny - just have to clean the oven now (ongoing) - maybe tomorrow?

I never want to do any chores any day!

How I sympathise! I was brought up in “the colonies” and we had servants to do everything…
Dusting and tidying up give me palpitations and remind me of my mother. My father used to blowup for nothing, shout at my mum who was forbidden to cry. As for shouting back, hmmm. So she’d vent her frustration by tidying up. Not a nice memory at all.

Cleaning the shower is my least favourite job. Going to tackle it today as I now have a karcher water vac so no wiping down.
Also hate dusting that will wait until tomorrow

Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow

I really need to start tidying the garden. There’s a lot of moss littered about from where the birds have pecked it off the roof and a lot of weeding to do. I’m not cutting back last years dead growth as it’s still shelter for the insects ? and besides I’d much rather finish a watercolour I’m working on.
