I HATE HATE HATE the cooking part. I would employ a housekeeper who

cooks, shops and works out the menus. Oh the relief! I actually like

washing, sorting into the piles and love hanging washing out on the

line (has to be neatly missing out the in-between rows on my twirly

line, all the socks have to be next to their proper partner) - guess

we all have our " sad " areas

It also bugs me that no matter how often and how long I clean for, it

never stays like that for long and there is always something else that

needs doing - never ending, never ending. So, why bother, guess I'll

just read emails instead.

That's because they fit *exactly* on the ironing board and you can quickly

run the iron over it in one quick movement - none of this moving down the

t-shirt which takes longer.

I love ironing by the way and doing the laundry.

Hate anything else housework wise - especially cooking, I just do not get

enthusiastic about it I'd rather do the washing up!
