So Who Else Hates Housework?

[doddsj]

G'day Dig,

16 Acres would keep you extremely busy, never mind the Housework!! This time of the year you would start mowing at one end and by the time you reached the other end it would have grown 6 inches!
Housework is something i try to avoid as much as possible. I wait till my wife gently reminds me to move my arse. Same goes ouside i detest gardening as well. They just interfere with valuable fishing time.

Cheers, Steve.

What is this housework thing you all speak of.

Yes Steve,

It's a bit like the Sydney Harbour Bridge scenario but I actually only mow about 5 acres and soon the cows will be looking after the rest.

I refuse to mow more than fortnightly and am spraying the dockweed at the moment as the day after I mow up pop the daisies and it looks messy again. So if I can get rid of that I might be able to mow less frequently???? Saving for one of those huge John Deere front deck, zero turn mowers as that should halve the time I spend mowing and leave more time for fishing. They're about $7.5k though and I don't want to take that out of the "tin tank".

Actually I still need to cut firewood as some of the nights are cool enough for a fire so I have plenty of excuses not to do (much) housework!

That's life on the farm.

Love to cook, hate cleaning. Luckily I have an other half that seems to enjoy my efforts at keeping starvation at bay. Fair swap I think.

It's good if you compliment each other like that but I wanna know how it is that us blokes get to do the BBQ's ALL the time....think we've been had fellas!

(I'm not married, but...) I don't mind having to do the BBQ. I wouldn't trust my ribeye to anyone else anyway.

Doing housework is awesome! It has 2 outcomes, due to the accumulated brownie points:

1) More fishing days "I'll do housework if you let me have saturday morning......"
2) More "other" activities

Open flame is mens business...
Try that one on, sure to get a rise

[Digger]

Rib Eye....sheesh! I saw one this week, one only, $30!! Thirty bloody dollars for one steak! Bullshit!

Between that and the price of lamb, those bunnies in the paddock are looking better every day! Even the neighbours horse....hmmmm. Wombat stew?

You reckon that "open flame for real men" might be a kind of reverse psychology strategy? Could work.
