I pruned my wardrobe on Monday and found several brand new pairs of trousers or jeans that I bought in the Sales during the last year. They are all “longer fit” which, I presume, is why they were reduced by so much. All fit perfectly but all need shortening by a few inches. Had I shortened them as I bought them it wouldn’t look like such a daunting task but I HATE shortening trousers. It is a job I always put off and in the past have thrown out trousers that are too long because I can’t face getting a needle out. Today I am determined to shorten all 5 pairs before I go to work at 5pm. What jobs do others keep putting off? Gwynne

Cleaning windows - I loathe and detest it, and they always look smeary, no matter how hard I try! If I could get a window cleaner I'd pay him the earth just to do the outside. We've got tons of windows and the upstairs ones are really dirty at the moment.

Polishing the floors, they are due (only do it once a year), and I'm not looking forward to getting my knees bruised. Heather x

Of all the house jobs taking the venetian blinds down and cleaning them is the pits!

I like ironing........am I a strange woman!! Mau :0)
