Do you enjoy running errands like the post office and the bank, or do you dread them?

A natural way to answer

It depends on the errand. I don't mind a quick trip to the shop, but anything involving queuing or paperwork I find tedious. I prefer to deal with them all on the same day so they don't drag on.

Key phrases to use

• get them out of the way — to finish unpleasant or boring tasks so you no longer have to worry about them“Let's get the chores out of the way first.”
• ticking things off — marking tasks as completed on a list, one by one“I love ticking things off my to-do list.”
