"I LOVE HOUSEWORK" ... said No-one, ever!

I don’t think there’s a cleaning job
That I could say I enjoy at all,
Cleaning in general isn’t fun,
Doing it I don’t have a ball.
Scrubbing the bathroom and shower
Is awful hard on my knees,
And lifting the lid of the loo
Makes me shudder and say “Oh please!”
Dusting all my bits and pieces,
Sees dust bunnies dance in the air,
I sneeze and my eyes water,
And fluff gets in my hair.
Mopping and vacuuming make me ache,
And the laundry is really a chore,
And don’t get me started on ironing,
I hate it with passion you can’t score.
You ask why I so loathe the ironing?
It’s boring and takes too much time,
Who cares if clothes have a crease?
If they’re clean, then I sure don’t mind.
I’d rather have teeth pulled without anaesthetic,
Than do ironing, coz it’s more than I can bear,
I dream of a man who’ll cook and clean for me,
Oh Fairy Godmother please answer my prayer!!

I so need a fairy godmother cleaner. I don’t actually mind the cleaning, it’s the fact it gets dirty so quickly and needs doing again again that gets me :/

We’ve decided to get some quotes on how much it would cost to get someone in to do the housework and ironing on a fortnightly basis. Then it would be so much easier to keep the ironing and housework at a manageable level. If anyone can recommend a reputable agency that supplies cleaners in Adelaide, I’d appreciate details.

I seriously think that anyone who really enjoys housework is in dire need of medical help. I can think of hundreds of things I’d rather do than housework. Still, I do love the end result of a sparkling clean house, but I just don’t enjoy the hard slog involved in getting there.

Ha ha ha, love it. It would be good if we could blink our eyes and all the jobs are done. A cleaning lady would be another option.
