    Ironing. So much so that I haven't done it in six years.

    I fu*king hate changing bed clothes.

    Putting the duvet inside the cover is impossible.

    Duvet inside the sheet is torture for me, it always ends up arse ways.

    It's easy enough once you get the hang of it, just turn it inside out and grab the corners of the duvet through the cover and the slip it on like a giant rubber

    inside-out method makes it easy enough
    turn the duvet cover inside out, stick your arms inside it to grab the corners (so the rest of the cover is going up your arms), then grab 2 corners of the duvet with your hands, shake and the cover falls nicely over the duvet

    simple :D

    i don't like vacuuming, though it's nice to have a clean carpet after

    Turn the cover inside out, go inside it and grab the corners from the inside, then grab your duvet at the corners with the cover corners and shake them like a lunatic.. easy peasy :)

    Window cleaning. And trying to dust the place on those days when the sun is shining right in highlighting every single speck.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Hoovering the stairs! Such a pain in the arse!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 99 ✭✭maryjane007

    Hanging washing to dry,mundane mind numbing, hate it:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Cleaning those odd, sticky, smelly stains of the work-top.

    Wiping my arse :mad:

    Pulling hair out of the shower drain (I know it's mainly mine but other people's gunk is collected with it and it's all white and gooey)

    I never iron, it's just gonna get creased as soon as you sit down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭Voltex


    the duvet is the easy part...whats hard is trying to fit a fitted sheet thats too small to one of those memory foam matresses that must be made of lead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    bringing back the empty beer bottles

    hate changing bed linen also ... ugh

    don't mind mopping now that I have a steam mop (well worth investing in)

    not keen on going to bottle bank, cleaning windows, washing the food processor ... I really don't like housework!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 515 ✭✭✭sharky86


    Sex with the wife.

    does she feel the same


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    changing bed linen doesnt bother me, plus i loooooooove getting into bed when teh sheets ect are freshly changed.

    i hate ironing, really hate it. i avoid buying stuff that needs to be ironed, and at times i have thrown away clothes after one wash when i realised they would need to be ironed.

    i really hate it.
    i would clean toilets all day rather than iron.

    You forgot to add, 'after you've worn the cover like a ghost costume and annoyed yer OH by going "wooooooooooooo" at her'.

    Of course it helps to be naked underneath. That just me?
