Not completely like the prompt, but I figure Sylvia had the Doctor (no matter how much he swears to the contrary) completely wrapped around her little finger!
The Doctor glared at the list in his hand before helplessly facing Donna. His face fell dramatically when he was met with a look of resignation.
1. restock/reorder kitchen
2. do laundry (properly do it, none of that halfway nonsense)
3. wash windows
4. rake
5. clean bathrooms
6. apologize to Mrs. Suthers (I don't care if you had proper reason to think she blew up the street, it turned out she didn't)
7. make the guest bedroom (Steve and Mary are coming to visit after you leave)
8. make dinner for when we return
9. fix the TV (no, it's not going to kill us all)
10. get rid of things you don't need (there's a limit to sentimental value)
11. feed the cat
12. mop
13. dust
14. stay the weekend
15. don't
"She's sadistic!"
"She just wants us to make up for being a significant part of exploding the road the last time we came," Donna defended her mother. "And she and granddad are taking a break in the country. They'll be back in five days."
"Still," the Doctor whined, then huffed. "Besides, it's not the chores I'm against, or that we have to do them, it's the principle of the thing! They're easy, we'll be done in no time, but. . ."
Donna rolled her eyes and made another leaf pile.
