People who hate home admin jobs take up three hours each week for tasks such as paying credit card bills, switching utility companies and filing tax returns, a new study has revealed.
The survey found that MOTing the car was the most disliked chore, followed by renewing passports and sorting out home insurance and as many as 39 percent admitted that they missed important deadlines, the Daily Express reported.
