How to love laundry

You may never truly love the chore, but this fun idea may make it more palatable!  What if you paid yourself to do laundry? Here's how...

First decide what the payday is. What do you want in exchange for doing the laundry all the time? A night out at the movies every month? A manicure? A concert ticket?  A new washing machine?

Next step is to get yourself a big jar, or an old tin or a piggy bank. Place it discreetly somewhere in your laundry room. I say discreetly, because you don't want anyone raiding the piggy bank if they stumble upon it looking for their favourite shirt of something.

Then, each time you throw a load of clothes in to the washer, throw a toonie into the jar for yourself. Think of it as your very own, in-house coin-operated laundromat.  Any additional money you find in pockets is bonus money and should find itself in the jar as well. Before you know it, you'll have a nice stash of mad money for the movies or whatever you choose. Before long, laundry day won't seem like as much of a chore.  You might even start to look forward to it. At the very least, you'll start to feel rewarded for your efforts.
