Dusting, which is about the only houseworkI do these days and not very often at that.
Picking up dog poo.
Dealing with phlegm, which fortunately I don't have to do much of either.
But most of all, I hate sitting around watching other people doing the jobs that I used to be able to do.   :(

Bassetts certainly make you smile (they also make you roll your eyes a lot and shout!)

Thanks, Jaykay and Happy-go-Lucky.  Unfortunately, this has been long term and in ongoing.  Still waiting for meds to have an effect. Ah well, I enjoy getting it all secondhand without having to go out in the cold (except for the milking).

I just detest having to rely on anyone, I have had a few poorly times but now fine, I so remember trying to put shopping away after my hip op...that's another job I hate...putting stuff into their proper homes,,,,(why do some people ,often men, ask where something is, then never put it back, so you end up putting it away again so the cycle continues) I find the key to housework is having homes for everything!!!  Oh, and I found my phone today, it was under the sofa cushions when I lifted them to get a blanket as I was cold, also found a lot of loose change and my clicker!!!

Being certain just means you haven't got all the facts

Me too, HGL but I'm having to learn to grin and bear it.  Can't even put my own socks on or take them off.

The reason men can't find anything is because they never look behind whatever is at the front.   ;D

Just to lower the tone, my least favourite job ever is sorting the dogs anal glands.  In fact I hate it so much that I take him to the vet and fork out a fortune for them to do it  :relief:

I tend to put my head down and just do all the yuck jobs - as if it is my duty.
The jobs I dislike are those when I have to get changed to go into town and deal with officals in the council tax office or bank. Hate it. I think that my bain switched off from financial affairs and "paperwork" when we started our smallholding. :innocent:

Yep paperwork for me too!
Trying to sort out hubby's accounts when he seems to have a vendetta to hide all reciepts from me and leaves me to open his bank statments all at once when i'm doing the accounts. One envelope is fine 12 is not! coupled with unopened insurance statments i am at screaming point.

I have been having this conversation on my facebook as I have many many dog keeping friends...in fact, I would bet most on here have at least one dog!!!
 We had a Lab that kept getting blocked glands, the vet showed me how to save money buy doing it myself, that was one money saving tip I did not appreciate either!!!! Not had that issue since then!!!!
