Making washing up enjoyable

2:48

So, I sometimes do them, but my husband does them quite a lot.

2:48

Is there any way that you make washing up a more enjoyable activity?

2:53

There is. I put music on, I put a song on,

2:57

and I make sure I've finished by the end of the song,

3:00

and it just makes me happy because I can just sing along

3:04

and not focus on hating washing up.

3:07

And it's not even that bad.

3:09

I quite like tidying my room because I find it quite satisfying,

3:14

because you... you end up with a good result at the end.

3:18

You have a tidy space to relax in and spend time in.

3:23

That's actually on my to-do list at the moment.

3:26

Later I'm going to go home and tidy my room.

3:30

Beth, do you have anything on your to-do list?

3:34

I do need to hoover, so hoovering is on my to-do list.

3:39

A 'to-do list' is a list of jobs that you need to do.

3:44

So, I do need to hoover,

3:47

but I'm not sure if I'll do it today.

3:49

I might do it tomorrow.

3:57

OK. Let's recap the vocabulary we heard during the conversation,

4:03

starting with 'mess'.

4:05

A mess is when something is untidy or dirty.

For example, this morning I left my kitchen in a bit of a mess.
