What would be a fair charge for doing roommates woman's work for a week?

I live/share with an individual who is rather slack at cleaning and cooking eg vac dishes woman's work in general. Doing shopping with my car wearing it out, my car etc. (hey Im going to get hits for woman's work).

But is in the order of $90.00 AUD per week not to much to ask for cooking and cleaning from him seeing he wont readily do it eg when he cooks he just uses more plates till I have to clean them all anyway?

Should I post a sign in the kitchen "don't clean up after yourself ...go buy TAKE-AWAY"

Any advise taken.

eg Ship up or shift out...

Update:

To Bill Z Hey Thanks

I really mean share cooking and cleaning and general house duties.

I have to drive my car over 100 km each fortnight to save money on shopping or should I say buy local and pay more or pay me 57 cents a km to cover running costs.

Update 2:

To Steve Its my rented house LOL

    I hate slackers...

    Good idea the dish pan on the pillow.

    If they leave their things everywhere in the house I suggest picking them all up and throwing them outside. I do that with my kids...

    I would not do it for them I would move out. Don't be taken for granted.
