What are your least favourite household jobs?

Mine are dusting, emptying the cat's litter tray and hoovering up (or rather Dysoning up) the dead bodies of wandering woodlice that find their way onto the carpets from places unknown especially when I've just done it then another one appears from nowhere.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I have to be very strict with myself and set up the iron and board first thing  and the Just Get On With It.  The thing is, once I've started I enjoy it.  If I sit and dither it doesn't get done.

Out of all the household chores, the one I hate the most is cleaning the bathroom/shower!

Ironing, so I do not use a very fast spin speed and I'm careful how I dry things, so rarely have to.
I wait until eventually, there's a pile of things that must be ironed, so I have to force myself to make the effort  ::)

At the moment absolutely everything, I’m sick & tired of it!

All of it!  The only way I cope is to do 30 minutes a day.  The worst is cleaning the kitchen and bathroom floors.

I do not recognise these four-letter words of which you speak ... dust? iron?

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

My worst household job was completing a tax return.
Keep digging

I hate all housework - it seems to be so pointless, although I'd dislike living in a dirty, unkempt house. I have noticed, however, that as long as nobody touches a surface thereby leaving fingermarks or a trail on it, dust doesn't look any worse after two weeks than it does after two days. Spray the shower cubicle when you exit with a certain Mr M shower spray and it only needs a thorough clean now and then. I'm not really lazy, I can just think of more important and interesting things to do.

I have one of those magic washing baskets.

Put me washing in and few days later they are all hung up.
Great bit of kit.
