What are the top five chores you secretly enjoy doing?

You're kidding, right? :lol:

1) Making the bed/clean sheet day
2) Laundry
3) Ironing
4) Scrubbing the bathroom
5) Any type of real deep cleaning: scrubbing baseboards/cabinets/windows

I just like the clean sparkle.

I hate vacuuming though.

What are the top five chores you secretly enjoy doing?


I am seriously sitting here thinking and I can't really come up with anything...

Well other than sex.. but don't tell my husband that!!

[Trish]

This is going to take some thought :scratch: :lol:

1. Vacuuming
2. Mopping the floor - on my hands and knees
3. Organizing anything
4. Hand washing dishes - by myself
5. Cleaning out my car

AND, the only reason I secretly like doing these is that I like the end result and seeing how much nicer things look when they are done :supergrin

[Dawnie]

1. Scrubbing the bathroom!! I love to see it sparkle and shine when I'm done.
2. Vacuuming
3. Cleaning the kitchen
4. Washing the sheets then making the bed. Love the smell & feel of the clean sheets.
5. Cooking. Would that count as a chore?

[Nichole]

It really is all about the new bins, Nichole :lol:

2. Folding/putting laundry away (except for whites...those damn socks!!)
3. Organizing the closets at the start of a new season

[Stacey]

Cleaning my craft area
Purging/organizing
Ironing
Doing laundry (but not putting it away)

[bunybomb]

I'm having a really hard time coming up with 5. :lol:

1. I got a Dyson so I like vacuuming at the moment. I'm sure the novelty will wear off. :scan:
2. Yardwork, mowing, edging, pulling weeds, planting flowers.
3. Putting the wash into the washer and moving it to the dryer. (No folding or putting away, I hate that part).
4. Washing the sliding glass door and front storm door.
5. Cleaning out my car.....althought by the looks of it right now it doesn't look like I care. :locolaugh

[BonnieG]

BonnieG, I'm with you! I NEVER, EVER clean bathrooms. I can't. It just makes me sick. Thankfully, this is the one chore that my DH doesn't mind at all! So he always does it! :woo:

kelbelle, I usually try to get my DH to clean them too...especially the bathroom that he and Dugan usually use. You would think that boys/men could have better aim with those things!!!:pullhair:

[Nichole]

You'd think so, huh Bonnie? :rolleyes: I'm doomed on that front with two boys and a husband. :dead:

[Stacey]

Gross. Yeah, I don't do bathrooms. :dead:

[BonnieG]

You'd think so, huh Bonnie? :rolleyes: I'm doomed on that front with two boys and a husband. :dead:

4) Planting flowers (but hate weeding, mowing, etc)
5) Folding towels

I really had to think on this one :lol:

[Melissa]

:doh: I forgot to say grocery shopping! I don't mind doing that....

[Clare]

You are all seriously loopy. What's enjoyable about housework? :dead: If I had to say something, I guess I'd say ironing cause I can do that while watching tv and often choose that over something less desirable.

[Karri]

grocery shopping
cooking
purging/organizing things...especially when new bins & whatnot are involved
laundry
changing the sheets

[Michele]

I don't think I can come up with 5....

1. cooking (most of the time)
2. grocery shopping
3. putting the clothes in the washer (but not the folding or putting away)
4. paying bills (not that I like throwing all my money at bills, but I feel accomplished when I am done - plus I make spread sheets, and I like doing that :lol: )

[Mary DK]

You are all seriously loopy. What's enjoyable about housework? :dead: If I had to say something, I guess I'd say ironing cause I can do that while watching tv and often choose that over something less desirable.
Clare, that's exactly the reason folding laundry is on the first spot :nod: I can fold it while watching Oprah :lol:

[pam]

You are all seriously loopy. What's enjoyable about housework? :dead:

Oh, I wake up every morning so excited about all of the housework I get to do! Doesn't everybody? You don't? :scratch:

My DH would laugh so hard if he saw me post this! I will admit that my list is more of a "secretly don't mind doing" than "secretly like."

[Girlo]

1. laundry - I love getting rid of piles of dirty clothes and putting them away clean. :)
2. wiping the countertops
3. cooking
4. organizing/purging crap
5. grocery shopping

I also am discovering a new one that's not in the house - weeding! :) I love getting rid of all the mess/clutter outside and leaving the pretty plants I want to keep for everyone to enjoy.

[Mary DK]

Oh, I wake up every morning so excited about all of the housework I get to do! Doesn't everybody? You don't? :scratch:
Weirdo :crazy: :lol:

[Lyoshka]

I have to agree with Clare. You people are all seriously loopy, making lists of stuff you like doing around the house..... I love sitting on the couch doing nothing, could that be a chore? ...but if *I* must, here it goes:

....cooking...I love cooking, though not for myself-it's fun for friends and family
....organizing things only when new bins are involved (then the newness wears off)
....planting flowers and taking care of my yard
....cleaning bathrooms-well, I hate cleaning, but love the result
....paying bills-in a geeky kind of way, it gives me a great sense of accomplishment
