My number one is getting the vacuum out and hoovering, I find it very therapeutic ?. I can honestly say I’m no Freddie Mercury wanting to break free,

Don’t like doing any of it but needs must.
I do like cooking and particularly baking.

LadyGracie Fri 17-Sept-21 16:35:36

None, but I like a clean and tidy house so I'm always pottering doing something. If I don't noone else will.

As the saying goes - "We can't both look good, its either me or the house".

Which are your fav household chores? (

Isn’t that an oxymoron ?
(Like Military Intelligence, minor crisis, deafening silence · deceptive honesty · definite maybe · definite possibility · deliberate mistake · )

I just put my earbuds in and get on with it, listening to podcasts and audio books. I don't really thing about whether I enjoy it or not.

Same here tanith I do like to know the house is clean, with pets it's a daily chore. I look on it as daily exercise as well. With that and dog walking it's enough for me.
I do find I need to rest a bit more between jobs now, good excuse for another chapter or two of my book.

Using the tumbler drier on a wet washing day.

I only like the results of cleaning.

Oh - vacuuming up dead flies in the conservatory is quite enjoyable (why do they come in and litter the place with their little bodies?)

Washing, including hanging it out or getting it dry in the house in wet weather. These days I even quite like ironing if there is something to listen to on the radio, as I don't have the mountain of shirts that I used to have when DH was working and the DC were at school.

Everything else, including cooking, is not my idea of fun.

tanith Fri 17-Sept-21 13:27:18

I do it because I like a clean house but the only thing I do enjoy is hanging out washing.

So hate the frase means well
But not as much as I hate predictive text

I have a small framed print in the kitchen…….My Idea of Housework is to Sweep the Room with a Glance!
We are on the same wavelength Grandmabatty ?

kittylester Fri 17-Sept-21 12:40:45

Hate it all, that's why we have always had a cleaner.

muse Fri 17-Sept-21 12:12:10

Hate everything to do with cleaning but I love clearing out and having orderly cupboards?

mrswoo Fri 17-Sept-21 11:51:14

I'm not a fan of housework but I do enjoy unloading the week's shopping and putting it away. I'm a Virgo and enjoy routine and being methodical (sad I know!) I cannot bear it if DH offers to help - although he means wellsmile

As Helen says

Helen657 Fri 17-Sept-21 11:36:01

Absolutely none!!! I really need to sort myself a cleaner before the spiders throw me out!

BlueBelle Fri 17-Sept-21 11:33:07

Housework and favourite do NOT go together in the same sentence
None, I too hate them all

Galaxy Fri 17-Sept-21 11:32:28

I quite like organising cupboards, I hate hoovering, I quite like doing the internet food shop.

timetogo2016 Fri 17-Sept-21 11:31:31

Cooking,then watching Dh do the housework,i find that very therapeutic.

Bea65 Fri 17-Sept-21 11:25:07

JaneJudge me too..my only real exercise!! Also sweeping the kitchen floor ..not very big kitchen...
Worst chore for me is hoovering as mobility impaired and have the worst 2-3 days of back ache...so only hoover once a month or, my lovely daughter does it when she visits?

annsixty Fri 17-Sept-21 11:25:06

None for me either, that’s why I have a cleaner.

Violettham Fri 17-Sept-21 11:19:13

None

Grandmabatty Fri 17-Sept-21 11:16:20

None. I prefer to sweep the floor with a glance.

Claretjan Fri 17-Sept-21 11:14:05

Me too Shysal!

shysal Fri 17-Sept-21 11:07:03

Absolutely none! I hate the lot!
