If it doesn't look like it needs it, then it can wait. Company or not. I hate cleaning in general. However I do what has to be done. If it doesn’t look like it needs it, then it can wait.

Priceless. I used to hate vacuuming most, so we bought a house with hardwood floors (love them). Used to hate ironing, but bought one of those QVC hangaway things. Now, I just put hangers on it, pop it up next to the dryer five minutes before it goes off and hang everything up as it comes out of the dryer. The clothes hang there for five minutes and every single wrinkler comes right out (all cotton clothes). I do NOT iron, ever. So, since I have hardwood floors and the hangaway for laundry, I hate bathrooms. Our old house had molded showers (one piece and VERY easy to clean)--that was in California. In Florida, everyone has tile. I even regrouted our master bath shower (huge) twice to have very clean white tile. Six months later, it's back to being easily dirtied again. So, since I have allergies, my hubby cleans it. :) I think I'll keep him (the hubby, not the bathroom tile). :winking: You guys are hilarious and I love your medal woes, Julie. Priceless.

I don't mind doing ours, but I refuse to do the one downstairs that my daughter, 3 cats and anyone visiting uses. We did make it easier on ourselves by buying a self-cleaning litter box, which is great! I hate putting laundry away. I hate cleaning. Vaccuuming especially. I have no idea why. I am really, really good at piling things up and leaving them. DON'T look at my side of the bed!! I think I am finally done cooking for tomorrow. Now I have to clean the kitchen. Ok, that's another job I hate. And popper-scoopering. ick. have a :happythanks: everyone!!! It depends on which bathroom.

Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:29:25 +0000 http://www.plotmonkeys.com/638/and-the-medal-goes-to/#comment-43789 I think all household chores deserve recognition (medals are good). My least favorites are dusting and ironing. My hubby (bless his soul) cleans the bathrooms. He deserves a gold medal. Housecleaning is a necessary evil - I couldn't live in a messy house so therefore I clean. I want to wish everyone a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving! :turkey: :feast: :gobble: :vibrating: I think all household chores deserve recognition (medals are good).

Honestly! I have all the books on CD and I listen while I work. I love being in the kitchen! (Well, I don't love mopping, but I get through it.) I guess the answer to my troubles is CD players in every room! What keeps me happy cleaning in the kitchen is Harry Potter. Honestly! I have all the books on CD and I listen while I work.

I don't mind the sorting, washing, folding,ect... but I depise putting it away. I usually ait until we are about to start a nudist colony of three and then with much sighing I put it away. But what chore do I truly dislike- cleaning out the fridge. Yuck!!! My husband and my son just jam and ram stuff in the fridge,things leak, and, breakdown( I know the feeling) and it gets NASTY! also it takes so long to really clean it well. I have a friend who hums and sinhs when he washes the dishes and cleans his kitchen. How sick is that? I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. :gobble: Julie, I am with you about the laundry. I don’t mind the sorting, washing, folding,ect… but I depise putting it away.

Not only do I iron all of hubbies shirts, I have to use heavy startch!!! When we first started dating and we were both dirt poor, we ate lunch together every day. It was the only way we got to see each other. And he usually always paid so I started ironing his shirts for him. A trade off, he bought my lunch, I ironed so he didn't have to take them to the cleaners. 15 years later and I'm still ironing those damn shirts. But I've gotten it down to under 4 minutes each. :thumbsup: Leslie - guess what I spent about 35 minutes doing this morning? Not only do I iron all of hubbies shirts, I have to use heavy startch!!!
