Soooo many to mention really, but my mother had a fixation with Brass hangings, every two weeks me and my brother would have to sit around the dining table with a bottle of BRASSO and one of us would rub it on and the other would then wipe it off, took FOOOOOOOOOKIN hours it did, God sundays were boring in those days, no shops open, P*ss all on telly, always raining, She’d give us a clip around the ear as well if it wasn’t up to scratch, I have a deep hatred now of all things brass, it fact cant be doing with nik-naks of any sort, you know the sort little tiny mantlepiece figurines that your nan probaly has hundreds of.
looking back, can’t think of anything i was asked to do by my mum or dad, every sunday, me and my brother has to do the washing up, does that count?
Used to and always will hate washing up. But my husband does it as i cook every meal he cleans up after so im happy to not do it. I dont mind ashing up a few cups plates but after meals i hate it :evil:

my mam and dad worked alot when we were little and being the oldest with 2 little brothers i had to do loads. i hated it at the time but fully understand now.
the 3 of us were left lists every morning, mine was always stuff like wash the dishes, hoover, iron a certain number of things, maybe go to the shop, etc etc.
my 2 brothers would have things like put your pj’s in the washing basket or hang up the towels in bathroom :?
i was always livid but having a boy myself i realise you cant ask them to do anything coz they dont do it properly :lol:@robyn wrote:
