Which household chore do you put off until you can't
stand it anymore? For me it's vacuuming. It gives me a
backache and I just hate to do it anyway.

Just about everything. Let's say the one's I do most
frequently: clean the counters and the bathrooms. Oh, and
laundry, if that counts.

By the time I've finished looking after eleven house in a week, (I've
cut down, I used to do fourteen) my own housework gets short shrift!
In my 'oldies' houses (that's six of them) I wash the floors on my
knees, so that they are left as dry as possible, to cut down the
possibility of accidents....and I iron for six of the households....
the job I like least is cleaning windows (especially in this cold
weather....and I clean the windows in all eleven houses.

Just thinking of all you do makes me tired!

I like to think it keeps me fit! Who needs exercise.... ;-)

I don't see how you find the time to post. Or chat. I know- you just
don't sleep!

That sounds like hard work--esp. the getting down on your
knees part! I can see that you might not be most enthusiastic
about doing the same at home!

I call on my granddaughters to vacuum. LOL
I don't like to mop floors. It's a childhood thing. My aunt (who
raised me) insisted on the kitchen floor being done every Saturday
morning, on my hands and knees, one week with hot water and paste wax,
next week with just cold water, following week with hot water and
....and so on. In all fairness, she did the hardwood floors the same
way. It was just her way of life. I won't get down to scrub a floor
now, even if I could get back up without help. LOL
