Reply to: Getting through a Chore

Question of the day, how do you get through doing a dull mundane chore?

Think of England?

In a few months time you will realise it was a marriage saver.

The thing in Oz, way too much information

I do the washing up though, well most of it !

A bit more info ! We smoke bombed the house and then hoovered them up, got a great pic of a huge hoover bag of dead cockroaches. The fitter ones took a few days to die and would fall on your head while you were watching Neighbours.

Are dishwashers any good at chore avoidance ? Just fitted one this week, haven't used it yet, a bit sceptical myself but the Mrs eventually broke me down.

Always a bit anti after the broken one in a house I rented in Oz became the home for 10,000 cockroaches.

You are more likely to get killed in the Kitchen than in any other room in the house.

I worked with a woman who washed the loo seat in the dishwasher. She claimed it has the only way to get it really clean.

I never did accept the invite to pop around for a meal.

It is important here to distinguish between chore avoidance and chore evasion. Example of chore avoidance is to delegate to someone else, or for example buy a dishwasher, chore evasion in contrast to chore avoidance is punishable, examples of chore evasion inlcude disappearing out the house just after the meal.

Or pissing off out of the country for a week working leaving the wife with a house that looks like a bomb has gone off in it.

NB: I'd better not complain this week if there's been a strike

are you a contractor or a permie??

get some staff!

[SandyDown]

OK, I am going to pretend someone will come in tomorrow while I'm at work and fold all the laundry for me.

Oh wait, may be he/sh will clean my oven too

You would win the lottery and then spend time thinking about Oxfam? What a saint SA! When I imagine winning the lottery I go through the list of all the people I would have killed.

Hope you're not confusing Sandy with Sally mate !!

Back on the subject, now you spoilt my fantasy when doing the laundry and folding all kids clothes ..sheeesh , need to think of another fantasy

Sometimes when I'm folding laundry, I pretend that I've just won the lottery and I'm packing all the clothes up to take to Oxfam
