What’s the one household task you put off for as long as possible?

From defrosting the fridge to cleaning the windows; we all have that one task that we avoid at all costs.

Household chores are never fun, but they are a part of life.

Washing clothing, vacuuming carpets, dealing with dishes and mowing are all things that take up countless hours of our week but are important for keeping our houses looking spick and span.

Luckily, when you are in a partnership you have someone to, theoretically, share your workload. Are there any jobs you avoid because you find them too annoying or just a drag?
