1. Anything that involves actual scrubbing.
2. Inwardly? If I'm cheering, I'm cheering out loud!
3. There's a punctuation mistake. Anywhere. Church songs are especial pet peeves, though Facebook status updates also really get to me.
4. I'd love, love, love a cat. However, considering I don't know what continent I'll be living on I'm going to have to stick with a pet rock for now.
5. Intelligent! That blonde look is just a ruse, honest!
1. Separating the meat to put in the freezer after grocery shopping. Especially the chicken breasts.
2. There's no one in the work kitchen when I go to make a cuppa
3. I tell people I work in animation and they say 'so I guess that's all done by a computer now'
4. A lil' ginger kitty
5. Not very interested in animation. Shhh don't tell the boss.
1. Mopping the floor. I'd rather hang out 20 loads of washing than mop our 4 sq metres of Lino. Dunno why!
2. I get to say somethin positive about Christians in a lecture.
3. I hear statements from the Australian Christian Lobby or the right wing Christian lobby in the US.

3. I am without electronic things to play with.
4. Puppy. Please? Can I?
5. so brilliantly, amazingly organised that I don't need a GTD system.

2. Plans fall through and I get to stay home.
3. I get some sort of a social life.
4. Another dog! A little dashund perhaps...
5. Thinking, thinking, thinking, all the time.
Pedro- Becoming a parent is like taking off on a raft down some rapids.. you just gotta go with the flow. And wear a helmet.
Crazyjed- I empathise. I hope you find work soon.
Wendy- I've been looking into getting hermit crabs for the kids. They seem like cool little fellas.
Kim- I knew it was a ruse
Joanna- I find mopping more enjoyable than hanging out clothes. My clothes are ok, but my wifes clothes and the kids clothes take about ten times as long. Evrything is a silly impractical shape.
Simone- Heh, I like that you like the kids to play with ol' timey toys but don't wish the same on yourself. I am a staunch advocate of double standards.
Amy- I very much empathise with 2 and 3. Going out is so overrated.
1. Chopping the celery to put it in a container in the fridge. Go figure - I'd rather wash up, sweep, mop and do the laundry before this one.
2. I pass someone, who previously overtook me at high speed, as they are being booked by the police.
3. When someone says that I should be ok with eating a product because it's gluten free...especially when the same people, every week, see me eating bread that they've bought.
4. Dog - bitzer from the pound. But I can't - I rent.
5. a person with problems with dairy, not gluten.
1. Ironing! Never do it, if I can at all avoid. I hate it more than cleaning out the ferret litter tray.
2. I cheer inwardly when... someone gets booked speeding when they've overtaken me. I'm with Laetitia on this one.
3. I groan inwardly when the alarm goes off.
4. I'm not going to answer this on the grounds it will incriminate me!
5. People don't seem to realise that I'm actually very tall (6'1') and that makes clothes shopping excruciatingly painful.
Ben - Hermit Crabs are terrific fun. And not too much work. Unfortunately we had to leave our in Australia when we came back to Japan. We get occasional updates from their new owners.
Laetitia- That's a funny one. I find celery chopping quite theraputic. I'll cut your celery if you do my washing up.
Georgina- I know, ironing sucks. I avoid it too. The best way is to fold it roughly right off the clothes line. Especially if you take them off in the heat of the day, where the inner heat and folding work as sort of bush iron.
Wendy-Yeah thay sound cool. We'll have to give them a try. Though I'm a little frightened of the commitment..
