What's the most awkward household chore for you?

All if it I hate housework such a waste of time as it all needs doing again the next day ☹️

Changing the bed. I am worried too about cleaning behind the bed as it has not been done since my DH went in the care home and I cannot manage it.

Me too!

I hate changing the bed too, I have athritis in my hands, and I find the fitted sheets very awkward at the corners, and pulling furniture out,never know what's behind it

Going up into the loft. I need to wait for visiting sons, then I send them up!

Count me in BlueBelle too, or rather out!

Ironing, I have stopped ironing bedding, can’t stand for long periods.

Getting up after getting down to floor level to spot clean an area.

Cleaning skirting boards.

Many of the things already mentioned and cleaning the window over the kitchen sink.

Moving the beds to clean the skirting boards and cleaning the oven and fridge.

Definitely skirting boards, and cleaning the rain heads on the two showers. I have to get my son to do it when he comes to see me.

I hate cleaning windows

Hear, hear, except that “under the bed” is stuffed with stuff. I can’t remember what it is, and I don’t want to look…

Agree with you.

All of the above!

I remember being surprised at the dust behind my mother's bed when clearing her house. Now I understand that it was probably impossible for her to move it. The castors on mine are seized and I can't budge the bed.

Cleaning up after our two little cats. They spread their food around their plates and throw catlitter around the edge of their trays. The other day I looked under our big settee and spent 40 mins cleaning the floor. It was disgusting, I had no idea. I guess under the fridge would be an absolute nightmare,too.

Totally agree, would rather be gardening anyday, or reading in the winter..

All of it. I do as little as possible. As for cleaning skirting boards....erm... I don't really do that.

Ditto, especially since I've shrunk!

I use one of these, no bending required
Unless you mean washing .....

Thanks Allira but I'm not really a cleaning skirting boards type of gal.

Errrrm....tries to think whether I ever have in current house - and I've had it over 10 years. Zero chance of me ever doing so - given I don't feel as strong as I did and the NHS here is way way worse than where I came from (ie if anything went wrong).

In the end - to make sure I can open a window in the kitchen = I swopped the back door largely for that reason (though I hated it for being "old woman style" imo). So it's now plain modern style and the panel of glass that forms the top half of it can be opened as a window - so I do have an opening window I can get at in the room.

When I had my new bed delivered not long back = I realised I couldnt get at the floor behind my bed (as it is a lot heavier than my old bed) and waited until the next time I had a man here doing something for me and had him move it forward a few inches. At least that way I can put one of those longhandled thingies used instead of feather dusters these days or lean over to remove any tissues that have fallen down the back.
