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,

I enjoy doing the laundry. I think in a previous life I must have been a laundry maid. I love the smell of laundry freshly dried outdoors. I like ironing, and putting clean sheets on the beds. What's not to love? smile

I don’t have any favourites.
Least loathed would be more like it, but I can’t think offhand of one I really loathe less than the others.

Although now I come to think of it, I do quite like polishing the oak dining table with Wood Silk (fantastic stuff!) but then it takes hardly any time at all for a superb result.

Arthritis hates housework. But I didn't like it even before the arthritis set in.

I love a really good 'bottoming' and a good throw out. Neat Freak here.

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

I like your style!

My favourite chore is paying the cleaner grin

I have a passion for housework and yard work! Love to clean! I know. Very strange... not many like me. LOL

Definitely no fave ones, just some I loathe less than others. That's why they are called 'chores' ?

I don't mind cleaning windows as I can see the difference when the sun shines.

I love clean washing and a clean kitchen and bathroom. I'm particular about bed changing too, the rest is done on an 'when I can be bothered' basis.
I also have a robot vacuum cleaner so don't even do that.

grannyrebel7 Sun 17-Oct-21 19:09:10

Absolutely none of them!

Callistemon Sun 17-Oct-21 18:24:48

I'm a bit like Aunt Flo, I have to be in a baking mood.

TeresaLambert Sun 17-Oct-21 18:22:39

I enjoy cooking and baking for the family.

garnet25 Sun 17-Oct-21 17:10:36

None, but I love gardening and looking after my indoor plants.
Hanging washing on the line is fine as that's outside. I have even been known to iron outside!!

Daisend1 Sun 17-Oct-21 14:40:35

Absolutely and always have loathed housework.Washing and to see it blowing in the wind don't you just love it? I do. Then the ironing all clean and folded or shirts etc on coat hangers Bliss.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 17-Oct-21 14:27:50

We have a cleaner but between their visits I quite enjoy polishing. That’s it.

grandtanteJE65 Sun 17-Oct-21 14:22:02

Anything and everything that doesn't including gardening in any form or shape.

Ironing, cooking and washing floors probably head the list.

PaperMonster Sun 17-Oct-21 09:57:28

I love ironing.

Newquay Sun 17-Oct-21 09:28:10

Absolutely none!! It’s all a chore-my dear Mum used to say I was born to be a lady ?

PollyTickle Sun 17-Oct-21 09:09:00

I occasionally help DH with a few chores.
He’s just asked ‘What chores’?
‘Cup of tea please’ said I
He falls for it every time

I hate all housework and all cooking. I have to do it though as I also hate a dirty and untidy house. DH helps.

I also 'hate' the assumption that Housework is Women's work and you are very lucky if DH helps you to do 'your' work.

Me? with no DH to 'help' I do it all myself, with the exception of hoovering. That task is undertaken by a wee robot, who takes his time but makes a lovely job of it smile

I like hanging out the washing. My little dog comes out too and we have throw and fetch .

maddyone Sat 16-Oct-21 19:38:39

None of them. I do any housework because I can’t stand a dirty or untidy house.

annodomini Sat 16-Oct-21 19:37:21

I have lots of favourite household chores as long as I can watch someone else doing them. grin

None. Hate the lot, do as little as possible then if i know a visitor is coming I rush around madly to catch up

That's me to a tee Ethelwashere1

It was lovely in lockdown. No visitors and could do housework when I felt like doing it. smile
I like to be working in the garden these days.
