Now where have I heard that word before? The Friday Five is in a housewifey mood:
1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?
I don’t do ironing. If clothes need to be ironed, I just don’t wear them (so I try to avoid buying them).
2. Are there any that you like or don’t mind doing?
I don’t mind doing the dishes. I actually like getting up and doing the dishes in the morning, especially after a night out. Normally I don’t have time to do it, though, so I’d still rather like a dishwasher in order to get the dirty dishes off the work surface.
3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it’s needed?
Throughout the week? How often am I supposed to clean? I do the dishes when it’s needed – actually, I do them when I have the time, as it’s pretty much always needed. I do the vacuuming whenever it gets so bad that I really have to or when guests are coming. Other cleaning? Hm.
4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
I have a definite order for what gets cleaned first when I do the dishes – most importantly the glasses get done first (there is actually a rational explanation for that – it’s very difficult to get clean glasses if the dishwater is already greasy, so greasy things need to be done once all the glasses are out) – and I get annoyed if I watch someone and they do it ‘the wrong way round’.
5. What was the last thing you cleaned?
I vacuumed around the bed on Tuesday. Since then I’ve hardly been at home.
