Good morning peevers.

It's catch up at home today, so on with boring chores.

Ah! Boring chores! What's your least favourite chore?

Mine used to be ironing, but if I put the soccer or something else on the TV it's not so bad.

So my dear peevers, spill the beans because the POTD is;

Chores you hate.

I don't really hate anything that I have to do in my home. But I'm not fond of ironing either, Jezer. These days I iron a piece or two only as needed. The thing I did hate about ironing was the ironing board. I haven't had one of those big bulky ridiculous things in my home for decades. First I replaced it with a little table top board. Now I use a towel on the counter.

Yuck ironing. My mother used to make me iron all the clothes when I was growing up. Now I don't have clothes that need to be ironed


I have to take the area rugs outside this weekend and wash them. I also have to scrub down all the interior walls in the house from being closed up all winter. I am not looking forward to either chore.

Least favorite...doing the dishes, it used to be cleaning out the horse's stall when a youngster.

I don't mind things that are satisfying when you see the results, like ironing...a wrinkled shirt turns into a pristine shirt, but I hate any kind of repetitive task with no real payoff, like dishwashing or folding and putting away laundry.

I don't mind ironing,,,, I learned to do it while in grade school with my sisters. Mom was busy working and we kids all took care of our own washing & ironing. It wasn't a problem, however I don't think I'd like to do it these days,,,,,,,,, I've gotten lazzzy
