DH has always cooked.

We had a lino many years ago which was pebbled pattern, like being on the beach: if a bag of peppercorns was dropped they disappeared for ever - unless I got on my hands and knees and went over the flooring with my hands  >:(  ::)

I hate kitchen floors in general. They always seem to need washing. Ours is marble tiles, cold, unforgiving if you drop something and not easy to keep clean..Actually can't see if it's dirty or not  ::)

Hate it, hate it, hate it  ;D. Love gardening  8)  :-*

We have a scum mark around the bath ........ I've tried "CIF", bleach, other cleaners - used bicarb earlier, left it on then rinsed.  I think that it may have worked a bit.  Any hints?!?!

Elbow grease! :D I love cleaning, when I have the strength to do it which is not so much these days. Gives me great satisfaction. I was a housekeeper in my younger days.

Would you like to visit  :). I need someone like you, I'd much rather muck out stables/sheep pens than do housework.

I'm with sheila on this - put me into a garden, stable or hen house and I'm whistling while I work  ;D

Bath looks shinier this morning  8)

Haven't any of us done chores for a whole 12 months  ;D

Some I HATE!  OK with the washing up, keeping laundry up2date, filling dishwasher - bathroom gets blizted regularly, house plants watered when they begin to wilt.  Anything else keeps me away from stuff that I enjoy more.

I’m always doing house work.
I like a clean tidy house.
My old mom used to say, “ Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today! “
She was always doing housework, think it was ingrained in me from an early age, infact, it gives me satisfaction. So I suppose she was the same. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It depends 4 us as to whether we are having visitors and we don't entertain now.  When we did, then I was away with the duster at the very least  ;D

I’m with you Jillydoll, love a clean tidy house. Our vacuum cleaner is the most used thing in the house.

I never use a duster now since Kim and Aggie's tip was to use a damp cloth instead.

(are those tulips or crocuses/ii in your pic Littleminnie ? love the colours)
