    Personally, I find vacuuming very theraputic for some reason!  Dusting, too - there is something kind of powerful in banishing dirt / dust in a single swipe -- mwah ha ha!

     

    Are there any chores that you look forward to or at least enjoy a bit?

    I am cleaning house right now! Taking a break :)

    Believe it or not, I like the bathroom best. It's quick, easy, and I see instant results. I love knowing I'm getting all of that icky stuff outta there!

    I do agree that vacuuming is a bit theraputic, too

    chores?  who likes chores??!

    haha j/k

    I can easily tell you what chores I hate.  Got plenty of them!  Hand washing dishes, vacuuming,

    I guess I do like organizing.  Going to stores and finding new ways to organize my laundry room.  or any room.

    Oh I am a compulsive cleaner!  I love to clean my house.  I *love* to make my bed, clean mirrors, clean out the fridge and dust.

    But my all time favorite chore is running around the house with Lysol and a papertowl.  I love to find the most obscure things to disinfect!  The toilet flush, the sinks, the door knobs, cabinet hardware, light switches, remote control, our phones, the washer and dryer buttons, stair railing...ahh the list goes on, and on

    I HATE DUSTING AND VACUUMING! LOL That's FI's job! I LOVE cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. They look so beautiful when they are all clean. And I have to have clean spaces where I wash myself and cook my food!

    I need motivation - I am supposed to be cleaning right now! FI already did the vacuuming and dusting... he will be upset if I am not done the rest (the majority I might add) by the time he gets home. Because I bugged him to do his part when I was at work!!!!!

    What did I do to myself!

    I like putting dishes away and cleaning the kitchen EXCEPT doing dirty dishes.  Dirty dishes gross me out.

    None? Ugh, seriously, I hate doing housework. Though I guess if I have to pick one, I could say doing the dishes is my least unfavorite because the dishwasher takes care of everything and all I have to do is load it and unload it.

    Oh man I wouldn't say there is anything I actually *like* or *look forward to* :)

    I guess the thing I really don't mind doing is cleaning the kitchen. I have no problem sweeping, mopping, wiping down counters, or even cleaning the fridge. And I really need it to be clean all the time. I also don't really mind dusting, vacuuming, general straightening up, etc (although I don't like them per se). The only thing I hate. HATE. hate with the firey fire of a thousand suns is cleaning the bathrooms. Tubs, showers, and toilets gross me out to no end. The only way I can clean them is if i IMMEDIATELY shower right after cleaning them (bc cleaning them makes me feel gross) but then I feel like I just defeated the purpose by showering in a shower i just cleaned. ARGH.

    I get a really sick satisfaction out of vacuuming, cleaning the bathtub, and cleaning the kitty litter boxes.  It actually makes me happy to see them done!!  And sometimes once I get into a cleaning mode, I just keep going.  Some sadistic part of me totally loves the "after" effect!

    I'm a big fan of vacuuming and dusting too. In my humble, obsessive compulsive cleaner opion, there is no job so unpleasant that makes it any worse than a dirty house. Scrubbing windows? No problem. Sticking my hands in the toilet? Awesome. Leaving the floors dirty? DIE DIE DIE!

    OttawaBride2011, I'm with you! I love doing laundry, but I hate folding it!

    But I HATE HATE HATE hand washing dishes! Good thing I have a dishwasher, but there are just some things that need to be hand washed. Good thing I also have a very considerate FI, who almost always takes care of them for me!

    My favorite is folding laundry!!!  Yes I'm a freak.

    I just got done cleaning our apartment and I'm glad it's done! The future in-laws are coming tomorrow and I wanted to make sure it was clean and pretty :)

    I don't like vaccuming too much....but I have a crappy one that doesn't work too well so I will  hopefully get one as a wedding gift ;)

    I love to do laundry, clean the dishes, dust, polish the hard wood, swiffer, windex, etc

    I don't like making the bed...but I always do it! I am one of those people who DOESN'T like a full laundry basket and cannot sleep with dirty dishes left in the sink :X

    I hate all chores equally. I can't wait for the day to come where we can afford a housekeeper!
