Chores you don’t want to do today

Is it tomorrow yet?!!

Not a chore but the day started with a dental appointment
nice and shiny now

An engineer has just reconnected broadband which has cut out 25 times since Sunday!

Whoop whoop! Sod the decorating. I’m going to spend the afternoon finishing binge watching Hidden Assets. ?

Got to go shopping, that is bad enough. Then teach- and then - basta!

Domani for heaven’s sake! ?

Domain indeed Greyduster
I simply don’t have any oomph today ☹️ DDog has been walked, I’ve cleaned through and put on some washing but now ....zilch, nada. I have ground to a halt!

Well the ironing has not caught up with the laundry yet, and there’s a large pile of dead leaves that the wind has kindly left piled up by the front door, but I feel under the weather today so I can’t be bothered with any of it. Domani!

I quite miss my cobwebs . My new home is pristine and stays that way!

Not sure what I’ve done to deserve it because I hate housework.

I really don’t want to be stuck indoors painting the legs of the coffee table but I’m on the home run with the decorating so I must stop putting off the last fiddly diddly jobs.

Don't talk to me about cobwebs, our old cottage is the spiders' headquarters, and this is cobweb world!

Having won the battle of the duvet, I proceeded to clear and clean the cupboards under the sink! And not before time!

In the absence of a bannister, I just lay the duvet cover inside out on the bed, put the duvet on top of it and grab its top corners through the inside out cover underneath. Then shrug the cover the right way out over it. Seems to work

Clean around the base and the back of the toilets, 3 of them, no problem cleaning the bowls, but the other parts are fiddly and it’s probably only me that notices.

PS our enterprising local Hermes lady has a Facebook page, very helpful.

I really need to clean the kitchen cupboards, inside and out but I can't be bothered. Kneeling is out of the question too so it's going to involve a lot of hunching over. Maybe I'll wait til spring.

This chore has been hanging over me like a carrion crow for months - since moving house we haven’t been able to fully unpack, there are stacks of boxes and bin liners in various rooms, which get moved as we do the decorating, so now I have no idea what is where. I now have duplicates of so many things I don’t know what to do with them, so they’re shoved into a cupboard until another day. This morning I found 4 bottles of white vinegar (used to make my own cleaning fluid), I don’t do that much cleaning. I can understand those folk who end up totally surrounded by junk, there comes a point when you don’t know where to start.

I live on a narrow boat and once a week I have to empty the toilet cassette (it is a box under the toilet pan). Tuesday is usually when I do it. I have to put it on my wagon and pull the ten minute walk to my car to take to disposal point. Contents are then poured into disposal point. I then rinse well and disinfect. I have to do it...can't be left...hahaha

Why don’t you use the Hermes collect service? Not a lot extra and saves you driving/parking/rude staff etc. I just leave my things tucked in by the side of my door and the courier always takes them on the day I have booked.

they don't offer the service everywhere or for certain things, I'm not sure why. We have had quite a few returns we have had to go to a collection point for

Cleaning the wooden venetian blinds in 5 rooms.

There is a knack for putting on duvet covers. It involves laundering the cover inside out and then reaching inside to the distant corners and grabbing the relevant corners of the duvet and pulling it thru. Doing this over a banister helps too. Former chambermaid here!

I used to use the 'over the banisters' trick for this too - but now we have moved to a bungalow!

I never want to do cleaning anytime. Sometimes I make the effort but certainly not every day. I would rather bake cook walk the dogs or knit. Housework is the most soul destroying thing I can think off. I hate routine .

I wish I could do my chores and especially the gardening. I hate having to sit and watch other people do it.

Hate cleaning the shower,don’t mind other jobs

There are lots of chores I need to do today ... but we're in the middle of having a new kitchen installed, and I can't go in there!

Our living room, hall and front room are stuffed with food, plates, clutter from the kitchen, and everything is covered in dust. And yesterday we had no electric.

I'm sat in the middle of it all, and our dog has enjoyed two walks today already. He might be getting a third!

DH and I were delighted to get a small German pension each, from when we worked there nearly 50 years ago.

Not so delighted now, when I’m looking at various virtually incomprehensible forms to complete from HMRC and the German authorities. It was bad enough ploughing through the 30 page letter in German that accompanied the good news. My brain hurts.

Actually, I think the bathroom could do with a good clean.

The high winds have kindly (?!) piled the leaves up in one area of my garden. However, it is so cold and windy that I can't find what it takes to go out and do the needful. YET.........
