Housework

The hamster wheel called housework!

I don't mind tidying up but actual hard core cleaning I loathe and need to psych myself up to get started.

I prefer to walk around the house with my glasses off and then I don't notice all the dirt and grime.

I hate housework. I find it soul destroying in its repitiveness. Do it today and you need to do the same tomorrow. I will cook or bake anyday but there is more to life than hoovering and dusting

Like Freddie Mercury, 'I want to break free' from the mundane of hoovering and cleaning house, so I only do it a few hours each week whilst listening to music. I cook most days because I enjoy cooking.

Someone at my former office told me this story. A friend of hers had a male housemate. One day, she came home unexpectedly and found him hoovering wearing only her bra and knickers!

I don't like housework and can think of hundreds of excuses to put off doing it, but enjoy a clean and tidy home. bathrooms are the worst for me.

My bathroom and ensuite are immaculate.
All toiletries dried and put away in the cupboard after use.
Taps polished, basins and bath/shower tray dried every day.
Clean hand towels and flannels hung up neatly.
(During the day we use the downstairs toilet).

Apparently as a child I went home one day from playing at our neighbour's house and asked my Mum why we didn't have shiny taps in the bathroom like they had!
Mum nearly had a fit along the lines of "If you think I've got time to polish taps..." 🤣

But I've realised it's what makes me feel comfortable in my own home, which surely is what it's all about 😊

I have a framed print in my kitchen "It is said that housework never killed anybody but I'm not taking any chances" end of story.
