"cu" is unnecessary, but not incorrect. I'd use "lo" instead of "le" both 
times, unless there are particular dishes you hate washing. "i" separates 
sentences; it's sometimes used at the beginning of a sentence not preceded by 
another sentence, but almost never at the end of text (although the parser 
doesn't complain). So "mi xebni lonu lumci lo palta".
