Do You Do Every Other Job, To Put Off Doing A Job You Hate Doing?

This morning, l had great intentions to go to the petrol station to fill up my petrol cans, so that l can mow my lawns. It is a job l hate doing as you have to be so careful otherwise the petrol gushes out of the hose and spills everywhere. Plus bending over and looking up at the pump whilst filling up, is near impossible!
Instead, l have done two lots of washing. I have trimmed my hedging, shaped my bushes, weeded and posted on here just to avoid going out to get the petrol!!
Are there any jobs you hate doing and do everything else but, until you have to?!!

All the time Art
I have decided to start making bread for the first time before now...in an attempt to avoid cleaning the bathroom
It's the room that needs most attention and I can only face doing it about once a week

There are defiantly some jobs I enjoy more than other and I try not to postpone those I don't like in favour of those I do.

That said I am trying to ignore the fact that the bathroom could do with painting I would rather pretend I am gardening and potter about with a hoe in the sunshine ...

Hi

Ironing.

I cannot abide it.

Sabrina hates the Airport run, so we do swapsies, 1 airport run gives me six weeks ironing, great.

Well, l eventually got the two cans of petrol!! That is... two half filled cans!
It was great how the wind blew my hair across my eyes as l bent over to fill the green plastic cans and I had no idea how much was going in them!
Worse was when l got home and noticed, l had a split in the back of my trousers exposing my underwear, l hope no one noticed!!
I think, l need a parent!
