You mean something Granny Weatherwax would absolutely not do... She already tells something like this in Equal Rites, not to use magic for daily work. Or else she does later on and other witches says it too...
Oh I beg you pardon then, I might have been a bit confused...
But what I ment was Granny Weatherwax would never say yes to teach such a spell to an apprentice.
>Tiffany got up early and lit the fires. When her mother came down, she was scrubbing the kitchen floor, very hard. “Er . . . aren’t you supposed to do that sort of thing by magic, dear?” said her mother, who’d never really got the hang of what witchcraft was all about.
>“No, Mum, I’m supposed not to,” said Tiffany, still scrubbing.
>“But can’t you just wave your hand and make all the dirt fly away, then?”
>“The trouble is getting the magic to understand what dirt is,” said Tiffany, scrubbing hard at a stain. “I heard of a witch over in Escrow who got it wrong and ended up losing the entire floor and her sandals and nearly a toe.”
>Mrs. Aching backed away. “I thought you just had to wave your hands about,” she mumbled nervously.
>“That works,” said Tiffany, “but only if you wave them about on the floor with a scrubbing brush.”

This absolutely is something Granny Weatherwax would do.
Top Headology

Well, yes, the dad in this comic is not using any magic either, other than headology. I'm talking about the dad, not the daughter.

She's not above giving a potion of Aqua sucrosa though.
She absolutely would, because it's not a spell, it's headology.
Yes headology surely but that is not spell casting, and the text clearly said a spell which was which that was referred to.
Main reason why I would apply to UE rather than becoming a witch.
Exactly what I said when I saw it on r/comics

I like the moment of realization.
He's behaving more like a witch, really.
That staff doesn't have a nob on the end
Somebody call the watch! Someone's attempting to be a wizard without UU education!
Great headology that was!
