I do ironing not only for myself but for everyone at home, everyone in the studio if they want it, and if I run out of ironing to do, I put everything back in the washing machine and get it out again clean so I have some ironing to do.
I'm pretty handy! I do a lot of things around the house, and I actually enjoy it.
I simply love doing household chores and cooking.
My house is really clean. It's a really big house so I have three ladies who come in and clean it twice a week, but let's just say that, in between times, maybe it's not quite so clean.
The day I worry about cleaning my house is the day Sears comes out with a riding vacuum cleaner.
I've never been a guy who was anal about housework. A typical Wellington flat when I was flatting was a warehouse with, basically, sheets hung up for walls.
If you rent, that's it. You don't have to pay any interest to anybody. You don't have to pay any maintenance costs to anybody. You don't have to worry about whether the boiler is going to break down. While if you own your own home, you have a hundred aggravations.
I take pride in taking care of all the housework so that my wife, who works as a designer for Martha Stewart, won't need to sacrifice any of her leisure time when she gets home.
I have a nice apartment now that's all taken care of. I make my bed every day.
We take immense care of our homes, maintain them, and try to make them more beautiful and comfortable for ourselves. Do we not consider our planet to be our home?
I will happily sit at home and take care of the house.
Oh, I've never gone off into that 'the room's not the right temperature, take this tea back' stuff. I still scrub my own toilet and vacuum the carpet, and I have to be able to push my trolley around Morrisons and do my shopping.
It's hard to keep the romance going sometimes. Because you have a job. And you have children. And you have a house and a dog. And something leaks in the basement, and somebody has to take the dog to the vet... you're exhausted.
I am a hard house freak and I don't care who knows.
I am not exactly Mrs. Good Housekeeping, although I love to cook, bake, even iron, but only because it's not mandatory.
My mother, Carmen, cleaned houses and took care of elderly people.
I'm a real Suzy Homemaker.
Before I was married, I had never washed one dish or seen how you fried an egg or baking a potato.
I do most of the cooking. I'm kind of domestic, untidily so.
I'm getting all domesticated. I feel like Susie the homemaker.
When it comes to housework the one thing no book of household management can ever tell you is how to begin. Or maybe I mean why.
People may think I'm crazy, but one of the ways I like to wind down my Friday is to get some of our household chores done, whether it's cleaning or doing a big food shop, so the house is all nice for the weekend.
I have to look after my life, my kids, their school, their doctor, my house, my phone and electric bills.
Suppose you had a small electrical fire and... a structural engineer [looked] at your home's wiring [and] reports that the wiring is "shot" and there is a 50% chance that your house would burn down in the next few years unless you replace all the wiring. The job will cost $20,000... so you get an independent assessment. The next engineer agrees with the first warning. You can either continue to shop for additional evaluations until you find the one engineer in 1,000 that is willing to give you the answer you want, "Your family is not in danger" or you can change the wiring.
I started by hacking around the back yard in Richmond.
