    Cleaning the high chair. I despise it, how one child can hide enough weetbix to feed a small army amazes me. Just when I think I'm finished, I discover another section of wedged in food (sadly, usually from at least 2 days ago). I spray the crap out of it and wipe it down just before his next meal. And feed him on the floor/outside whenever I can. And chuck a huge tanty so DH takes it outside and hoses it down. I'm going to have the only child that goes ''noooooo, not another picnic!"

    Definately the shower! I'll clean everything else, do the ironing, mow the lawn, wash the outside bins all to avoid doing the shower!

    Mopping the flooors. We have huge amounts of tiled floors and combined with two kids, a cat and a dog they are constantly covered in muddy foot/paw prints, sticks/leaves the dog brings in, fluff, fur and who knows what sticky stuff. I wouldn't mind doing it so much if it actually stayed looking clean for longer than, oh, I don't know, 3.5 minutes!!! Most of the time it gets done cos I'm worried we're going to catch bubonic plague if I don't

    CK - I'm MUCH closer to you than OP. I'll happily fold your washing if you wash my floors ;-) Love folding the washing. Find it a bit therapeutic.

    Doing the housework.
    I use the reward of a clean house to sit in as a motivation.
