I really hate dusting and particularly clearing cobwebs...

As for ironing, I just gave it up...

Re: What is your least favourite household chore?

I hate cleaning my walk-in shower! Too many nooks and crannies and not enough room to bend over, can't reach the top and the bloomin' shower head leaks on me every time, usually right down the back of my neck! It would be good if you could do it whilst showering, but don't fancy getting cleaning products on my delicate bits!

Re: What is your least favourite household chore?

My wife hates ironing. I tried once, but could never work out how to iron a bra. I tried filling it with a basketball, but that was too big. An orange was too small. I didn't have any melons around, so my missus wore a crinkly bra for a while.

Twiz darlin' after you've had your shower and before you step out, unscrew the shower head, empty the water from the head and let the water in the hose drain out too before screwing the shower head back in place. That way, there's no water to drip on you.

Re: What is your least favourite household chore?

Another vote for the oven .This latest one like many modern ones is poorly designed with a gap between the glass in the double doors Drips get between the glass panels which are very heavy and hard to get out and put back.

The cooker is not a patch on my old AEG for practicality and build quality....I guess that's progress
