New research has revealed that we’re a nation tired of tedious tasks. In fact, the average Brit is currently putting off six household jobs that they can’t face and most would rather pay around £87 to a professional to take over gardening or DIY duties they really don't want to do.
Cleaning the oven came in at our number one least enjoyed job. Other tasks we really dislike include, emptying the cat litter tray, defrosting the freezer and changing the bed.
Not all household jobs were hated. In contrast, Brits enjoy hanging out the washing on the line, jet washing the patio and pairing up socks.
A spokesman for the survey of 1,000, conducted by Anglian Home Improvements says:
“We are a house proud nation, but it seems we may never learn to love certain jobs around the home. Thankfully, help is on hand, whether this means calling in parents or the professionals. And there will always be a list of chores we find therapeutic to give us the feeling of satisfaction that our homes are in order.”
