I have just diagnosed myself with a phobia.

Apparently my fear of appliances and anything and everything to do with the house is a real phobia.  It exists.

It is called ecophobia from the Greek words, eco meaning house, and of course phobia – fear.

No wonder if I can’t help myself, I won’t lift a finger to do the dishes, cooking, dusting, cleaning, tidying up, mopping, washing, cooking and anything to do with household chores if I can help it.  Very minimal household chores with me. LOL
