Is there a household chore you secretly quite enjoy, and one you'll do anything to avoid?

B Natural answer

I secretly quite enjoy folding laundry. It’s not exciting, but it’s calm, and I like the neat feeling at the end when everything is in piles and drawers are organised. I usually do it with a podcast on, so it doesn’t feel like wasted time. The chore I avoid at all costs is taking out the bins when they’re full and smelly. I know it only takes a minute, but I always seem to leave it for later. It’s probably the one task I complain about most at home.
