For those who don't know me (yet), I'm Alexandra, I'm a fundamentalist Christian, and I enjoy watching emperor penguins and their chicks on YouTube. I also have a problem with clutter. Not full-blown squalor, but clutter...for me, clutter is to squalor like a tropical storm is to a hurricane. Still a pain! My biggest problem is dishes. I get them all clean, get the kitchen cleaned up...and within two days it looks like a tornado has gone through it!

Hi alexandra, and welcome to the group! I can relate to what you wrote about dishes and keeping up on maintenance! This is a supportive place, and I get my best help on maintenance by doing the working in threes thread (WITs). If I post it, I do it. I haven't done a lot of letting go of my hoard yet, but some. the main thing is to try not to keep acquiring. I think you will love it with this great family of supportive people!

Hey, Alexandra! I am new here, too. I love it that you love watching penguins on YouTube. My thing is octopuses.

dishes are a pain for a lot of us- one of the best hints I found is to keep only enough for one day- then you need to wash them if you want dishes for the next day- as kids- we only had dishes to go through the day - no cupboards of spare cups etc - and now I know why mother was so smart- I have cut back on the amount of dishes I had- less to dirty and it is not hard to do a sink full of dishes compared to counters of dirty dishes - sometimes we just have to many things to use and clutter our lives- sigh- welcome
