Some 51 per cent admitted that Sunday was a day for "getting things done", with householders spending an average of three hours and 36 minutes ironing, washing, grocery shopping and cleaning. And 35 per cent confessed they either nagging or being nagged by their other half to help out with the chores.
Two thirds still take time to see extended family on at least one Sunday a month, often spending two hours preparing and cooking a traditional Sunday lunch for the occasion. But unfortunately that led to at least one argument each time. For one in five, just three hours in the company of their relatives was enough to see tensions mounting.
