Absolutely bloody anything....
which could include those jobs never before contemplated:
cleaning off the scale in the kettle
cleaning your hair brush/comb (not just the hair but the build up of scalp as well!
getting the trapped gunck out of the shower plug hole/trap
cleaning the drains
cleaning the gutters
hey I might even do a pre-emptive rodding of my sewer which usually only backs up in the winter for some unexplained reason (actually usually just before or during Christmas.) and that s one job I absolutely dread/hate!

It's not easy being Cheezy

If you're as clumsy as I am, you could make three cakes (having only intended to make two, but I knocked one off the worktop).
find your rooms under laundry piles (I'm sure we had three bedrooms...)
try to link steam to stream (kids activities)
sort out the pile of newspapers that you need to recycle, but there might, just might be the best ever recipe in, so they mustn't go out JUST yet...
fold nappies and sort them into piles and PUT AWAY!!!
that's five.

Perform a DIY lobotomy.
Please, please, tell me it isn't true: some saddo actually complained to the Police because he felt "ripped off" by the programme.

What is Big Brother? Something to do with George Orwell?
I have to confess that while it occasionally pops into the periphery of my consciousessness - usually through some inane reference on the so-called news or on a website - I've never watched it, read anything about the programme or even talked about it.
So what would I do instead of Big Brother? I don't know because I don't even know when it's on!
