Welcome to the weekend peevers.

I've wandered downstairs to the sight of some ironing that I need to get out of the way. It's not my favourite chore!

So, for today's POTD let us know what your pet hate in the way of chores is.

Your least favourite household chore.

(I hope the word chore translates okay!)

Using the bathroom. Well, it is a household chore, isn't it?

It never comes out quick enough for me. Sometimes, it seems, you can be in their for an eternity! Waiting for that last drop! Waiting to do a dump, knowing your bowels are on a different sleep schedule! Or they're screaming at you: Orange juice! Prune juice! A slice of watermelon!

My all-time dreaded chore is cleaning the stove when it gets dirty!

TMI, TMI, TMI......

I iron all my clothes daily and have for years.

Just goes back to the old saying, "If you want something done right, do it yourself".

In general I dislike having to allocate time to do chores but it's one of those evil necessities

Laundry..I don't mind the sorting, washing, drying <I don't do it the washer and dryer does>it is the folding and putting away that I put off until last for some reason I have a mental block when it comes to the folding and such.

So many to choose from, cleaning the bathrooms, the refrigerator, laundry,
but the most annoying is the one that's there every day..several times...the dishes.
My husband doesn't mind and will hand wash them, I usually wait until I can fill
up the dishwasher so I leave them in the sink...just typing this makes me realize I
have to work on that, okay, I promise...
