GrannyGravy13. If you really must iron duvet covers try putting it on the bed and ironing it in situ. You may need an extension cord. ?

Ironing anything at all. So I stopped doing that completely.
Cleaning the oven. So when I had a new kitchen installed, I chose a self cleaning oven.
I'm just left with vacuuming the stairs; a job I loathe because I hate balancing the wretched thing on a step whilst trying to vacuum the step above it. A handheld, cordless vacuum is my next "big buy".

Cleaning windows!

Dusting skirting boards. In Every . Single . Flipping . Room.

Ironing sheets and duvet covers ?.? What kind of madness is that!

Cleaning the oven, ironing sheets, hoovering, dusting, most housework if I am truthful. Don't mind cleaning bathrooms and kitchen!

Putting away clean clothes.
They seem to spend 5 minutes hanging around, then they appear back in the wash basket again.

My most hated is washing up.
The dishwasher has just packed up, and I can’t get to John Lewis quickly enough!
Yet I have read about people who have a dishwasher and don’t use it! Madness!
The thought of all that yucky washing up after cooking the evening meal really makes my heart sink.
First World problems and all that, but none of us is perfect.
