Is there a household job you always seem to put off, and why?

A natural way to answer

For me it's ironing. I tend to delay it because it feels tedious, so the basket just gets fuller and fuller. Eventually I have no choice but to spend a whole evening on it.

Key phrases to use

• putting it off — delaying something you don't want to do“Stop putting it off and just call the dentist.”
• piles up — to accumulate and increase, usually in an unwanted way“The washing piles up if I skip a day.”
