    House Chores

    and do you have a favourite?

    I am not a house chore fanatic but I like a reasonably tidy house. I dislike ironing and my favourite would propably be....actually none I do not have one

    Gosh, tidy house, that was in the days I didn't do any translation. Work distracts you from the stuff that really matters (apart from money ).

    It's weird, but I can't work and later concentrate on chores. It's just impossible. In this case, if I do have some free time, I'll spend on being free, not on chores, but I think we'll have to make a commitment soon, because otherwise things will become very unacceptable.
    One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.

    A pig would recoil upon entering my abode. So loathe, definitely.

    Most of the time I don't really do much tidying (when I say tidy, I refer only to my bedroom), but it doesn't ever get tremendously messy. Occasionally I have an urge to tidy, and then my room becomes more or less spotless again.

    I quite enjoy housework - I'm not overly house-proud, but I like my place to be clean and reasonably tidy. I tend to use Sunday as my housekeeping day - though by Friday things can be getting quite chaotic.

    Favorite would probably be outdoor stuff--mowing the lawn, etc. Least favorite: the bathroom, easily.

    I would never let anyone else do laundry in my home, not because I enjoy it a lot but because I think everyone else will do it wrong ( I mean I would think it's wrong even though they don't and it probably isn't). I have to vacuum almost daily because of my very hairy dogs and I can't say I enjoy that. I never iron, no way I'll do that!.

    I do little everyday to keep things tidy and to make sure it doesn't get too much. That way it only takes about 20 minuets a day. I also make my son do a bit... so I say 50/50

    Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'–and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire
