Retired folk - how long do you spend on household chores?

That long? I have never added it up, I do things as they need doing (if even then)
I have a cleaner every two weeks who does the whole house in 3 hours and I may do a quick zoom round if anybody is coming , as for shopping (online) - maybe 30 minutes at a time!

Well, I love cooking so I don't count that and we have a cleaner!

Your retired enjoy and do as little as possible.

Wondering how much time people who are retired generally spend on cleaning, cooking, laundry, food shopping and other household chores.
For me I think it’s about 12 hours a week as DH (who is still working) does some of the cooking, I guess another 3 hours or so.

How about you?
