    I hate cleaning the shower and mopping the floors. Oh and hate doing windows too.

    But I do love

    Cleaning the toilet. Washing and hanging it out although it takes longer to put away lol. And now we have a Dyson I love to vax.

    Dusting is not my things but not too far down on my list. I also have to be in the right mood to make lunches! Not a fan of that

    I like hanging washing out, but I hate bringing it in and putting it all away.

    I don't mind doing the dishes, but hate the never ending amount of them. I do them then find another lot to do, or another lot is created within the hour. Our own faults for not rinsing cups and using the same cup again etc.

    I also don't mind doing the bathroom inc the shower. It is just getting in there to do it, but once I'm doing it I am fine.

    I hate dusting and was put off dusting when I was younger by being allergic to all aerosol dusting polishes like Mr Sheen etc. Couldn't even walk into a room that had been dusted with them an hour later. *looks at top of entertainment unit and looks away*

    I hate doing the toilet, and I hate mopping. We don't have carpets so I can't complain about vacuuming LOL

    I do like washing the car, but it is a summer job so I can play with water LOL. In winter it is through the auto wash which doesn't wash it properly anyway so I have given up LOL.

    I also hate washing the dog as she has to have special medicated shampoo for skin allergies and it has to stay on her for 10 mins. She is to long in the tooth now to get Hydro washed, but it will be something I will look into if we ever get another dog after Kayla is gone.

    I like laundry. Put clothes in machine, press 'on' button, sit down for an hour and watch Dr Phil
    Get my daily vitamin D dose hanging it out, sit down again for two hours, bring it in and fold it while watching more Dr Phil

    I don't mind cleaning the toilet, either. Put Toilet Duck stuff in, go sit down for half an hour, scrub, flush. Spray rest of toilet (seat etc) with disinfectant, forget about it. Wipe down. Doneskies



    I HATE (hatehatehate!) mopping, it takes forever. Tidy up, sweep up, vacuum up. Mop. Gah!

    I actually don't mind washing windows and sweeping floors..

    I despise so much laundry. I can't stand it. It is such a drawn out job, sort the washing, take to machine. put in machine add powder turn machine on, wait goodness knows how long.. hang it up.. wait another ridiculous amount of time and get it off the line.. oh but it doesn't finish there.. fold the ruddy stuff and put it away.. omg I feel irritated even thinking about laundry

    I hate ironing (with a passion), cleaning windows and keeping my wooden blinds clean.

    I love doing the dishes, vacuuming and mopping.

    "like" is a pretty strong word Rach.... I am pretty sure I don't actually like any housework

    I like vacuuming, as long as someone has gone ahead of me to pick up the bigger bits of rubbish, and hanging out washing. You can keep everything else.

    Pixie, I think you'll find that the word "love" has been used in this thread a few times now!

    Yeah I find that really scary..... I think I'd better leave this thread now.... unless someone would 'love' to come and clean my house for me!

    I like doing the washing, hanging it up and taking it in, hmmmm maybe that's why using cloth nappies doesn't seem like it'll be too much of a chore, hadn't thought about that before. I now 'kinda' like the ironing too due to buying a decent iron a month or so ago, I can imagine it will start building up again when the novelty wears off! I hate doing anything with cleaning products where I need to wear gloves as I get allergies on my hands, so that would be cleaning the bathrooms, toilets etc. I am also hopeless with my office draws... mine is a mess, luckily dh looks after all that sort of stuff cause I just throw everything in the draw for a rainy day to sort out lol
