Well, i'm like Neil. I don't like these tasks, they are really boring.especially when there is a queue and you have to wait some time in order to make it done and sometimes wile your are waiting, somebody cuts in and take your position then you will have a pain in the neck.

I love all the members of BBC learning english. They all have the sweetest and kindest personality.
But to Neil and Rob, kindly make video lessons more to audio lessons. It is way more fun to learn by listening as well as watching you both together.
Thankyou!

In our family everybody should carry out their household chores. But my husband always delays his tasks until later. Sometimes we fall out because of it. I agree, that life admin can be repetitive and only super-doer can cope with it)

It is said that besides the importance of making a to-do list; writing what you have done or putting a tick by the tasks you have successfully completed is a good step as it makes you happier and much more satisfied.

chore: a boring, a ordinary task you do regularly
admin: tasks you have to do to make a business, organisation or just your life, run smoothly
