So basically, I don't.

Yeah. I'm gross.

Dusting I don't get - the dust just settles back where it was, what's the point?!

Vacuuming MY BF does in the parts of the house we use most, the rest gets left.

I do laundry 'cause I have to but I never EVER iron. Just don't. Most of my clothes are stretchy things anyway so who cares.

My garden is entirely potted plants (concrete yard) so All I do is pot them then leave them be. *shrug*

I actually don't mind ding the bathroom. I literally pour an entire bottle of toilet bleach over the walls/bath/sink/loo then come back 30 mins later and wipe it all off wearing tough gloves. Looks amazing and no effort at all.

BF washes the pots but I will do it if he's not home - don't mind that either.

I clean up after the animals 'cause it's my duty to care for them, just as I care for my daughter.

Basically I do what I HAVE to do, and leave the rest. More time for fun!  ;)

I prefer cleaing the bathroom without glows over vacuuming and dusting. I also rather empty the litterbox than have anything to do with the dishwasher.

General decluttering is what I hate the most! Not all our things even have a certain place they go to, and figuring out where to put this or that always requires more time and effort than I'm willing to spend. :D  I don't really like vacuuming either, but part of it is probably because vacuuming means you have to declutter first... Dusting is boring and I don't do it often enough, but it can be rather relaxing, too. Most of the time I just quickly vacuum the table tops, open shelves and TV + other devices that attract dust. Once or twice a year I may get inspired to dust the pony and book shelves. :D 

I usually like cooking or cleaning the kitchen (I just wish I wasn't the only one doing that >_< ), and actually dishwashing is one of my favourite chores. I wouldn't mind having a dishwasher though... But I choose doing the dishes any time over laundry!

I dislike cleaning the bathroom, but it's decluttering that really gets me. Which is crazy since I also hate clutter... so I have one terrrible terrible room in the house that no one can see. Every so often I go in there and tackle my secret shame. I really want to use that room for something useful, but its' so hard to keep on top of the clutter!

I chose cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. I don't mind cleaning up after myself, but I live in a flatshare, and I dislike cleaning up after other people because they're too lazy to do it themselves. Hopefully, I can move out of there soon, and then I can clean only my own mess. :)

I also chose taking out the garbage because it's a bit of a challenge where I live. Take it out too early (i.e. the night before), and the foxes will tear the bags apart. Take it out too late, and the garbage truck will have left.

Wow, that's amazing! So clean and not cluttered :O
I hope that I'll be able to keep my home in that shape, but I have problems with keeping even my room tidy all the time :lol: I guess that I just have too much stuff  :wonder:

avene1984 So lovely... I wish my floors would look like that! Ours are old and stained and I wanted to replace them... but I currently have two messy toddlers so we're going to wait a year or two. It's frustrating to clean them and there still be so many stains. I wish I had purchased a wet-vac years ago as there might be a few less!

Garbage also sucks, like SnorkMaiden said it has to be right on time (we get fined if you put it out early as it was attracting bears and raccoons in our area) and I just want to sleep in! Luckily hubby does it when he's in town. When he's not I have to set an extra alarm, but then end up waiting at 5am and doing it then anyway since I'll just lay in bed waiting for the alarm otherwise. I think I may get a bit too stressed for something so silly, but now they have so many extra conditions on what can go it what bin and threats of fines if you do it wrong. I take it all too seriously I guess!

I love reading what you all have to say what you like and don't like. Thank you June and zabe77 for the kind words. It does take work and I don't mind it. But then I also don't let it get out of hand. Yes there are times when it is messy in my eyes that is. 

The floors can drive me crazy at times, like when people come in and don't take off there shoes! Oh well I guess that is what I am here for.......LOL

I love to cook :) I have fond memories of cooking with my grandparents when I was growing up and it always puts me in a good mood.

However, cleaning my studio is my most-hated job. I have a mild-case of OCD and if something is moved or missing from my desk, I can't work as it throws off my groove.

Dusting! I loathe dusting! I would rather clean 18 toilets then dust my place.
I have a general bad habit of not putting things back into their right spots, but I do wash floors, do the dishes, etc. etc....
I have a "messy" home, not a "dirty" home. I can live with that.  :satisfied:

Most of the chores listed I really don't mind too much (I actually enjoy de-cluttering and reorganizing things), but it was pretty easy for me to pick out the three that I really don't like.   :lol:

I absolutely HATE scrubbing the floor.  Since my dear cat insists on eating his canned food outside his bowl in various locations, I have to do this chore more often than I used to. 

I enjoy cooking, but I disklike washing the dishes afterwards.  I am the dishwasher, we do not have the appliance version.  Utensils (knives, spoons, forks), plastic containers, and very large pots/pans are the most annoying things to wash.

I am not a fan of cleaning the bathroom.  No part of cleaning the bathtub or toilet is fun.  I usually try to give that job to my boyfriend while I clean the kitchen.   ^.^
