Most of what Luckygirl said. Also:
Peel a potato.
Peel or wash a mushroom.
Shave the parts of my legs that don't show.

Life's too short to bear grudges.

I so agree about finishing reading a book that you are not enjoying. Why did I used to do that?

- ironing
- cleaning
- making beds for them to sit there all day with no-one in them or even seeing them.
- cleaning the car - it goes along very happily whilst dirty.
- tidying - I like to see books, crosswords and all the other parephanalia (?sp) of life strewn about.
- dusting - until there is a nice layer that can be banished with a satisfying sweep of the duster!
- drying crocks - I am a great believer in leaving things to drain and dry themselves.
- spending hours cooking only to see it all eaten in a flash.

Continue reading a book I'm not enjoying.No matter how many prizes it's won or rave reviews it's had.

Worry. I'm a serial worrier.

Ironing. I'm annoyed with myself that I spent so much time in the past doing it.

PS Some Grans may be too young to remember the original saying ‘ to stuff a mushroom’

make bramble jelly! What a faff! Ruined a top , used loads of hard won blackberries and ended up with less than 2 pots of jam. What’s your life’s too short comment?
