There were three of us in our house and it only takes two to do the washing up so we used to play cards or draw straws or throw dice after tea every night and the two losers had to do the washing up.

Had to help out with jobs but didn't have a specific one and my spending money wasn't based on helping out - just wasn't allowed to be sat around reading whilst my mum was cleaning. A duster would always be aimed in my direction.

I didn't have a swimming pool to clean as I grew up but I had fun watching the people next door cleaning theirs.
