This is the Working in Threes (W.I.T.) Thread
EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before!
The guidelines are simple:
-  Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous.
- Do one more little thing.
- Do another little thing.
- Once you have 3 things done, post them here!
- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing.
-  Go forth and conquer, return and post again.
- You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on --
just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or
depressed or overwhelmed,
    
or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable,
you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of:
- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying
- Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash
. . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta-Da's
- Took pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To-Do's:
- Bring plates and glasses to kitchen
- Put dirty socks in hamper
- Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those 3 to-do's,
or something completely different,
once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
  
Remember to take breaks  and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da! 
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
 
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das.
YOU DESERVE THEM!

Good morning Babz and Womble, it's 6:40 a.m. here.
My niece is coming to see the chicks she hatched and named a month ago. My goal is to have them in their outdoor home by the time she gets here.
I have to complete a few finishing touches on the chicken coop, and it should be ready to go. (It will need more work further down the road... but I need to get it ready enough for them to move in.
Not many ta-da's yet
To-do:
Temporary floor in coop
Attach door hinges
Eat some breakfast, take vitamins
(get dressed and go to church)
Spread bedding in coop.
Add food and water
Add chickens
Clean out my car. I'll be swapping cars with my dad this afternoon.

Good afternoon to all from across the miles... Looks like a busy day again for womble, ally and babz...as far as i can remember... ontheway: while you shivver, we sweat: 30C here today, very windy and imagine, fine sahara sand covering everything. as for me, woke up and was feeling blue ( probably a hormone thing) was more difficult to get moving than other days. poked DH to get a big box from under his desk sorted. Promised he could stop after an hour. He got it done and 3/4ths papers go to recycling now. Wow.. I should try that method more often.  I started on 3 lower shelves of bookcase in study. That'll take a while. |

Wow, I'm just making coffee and already you motivated WITers have posted 13 times with all those Ta-Das> WTG!
I ended up taking my laundry yesterday to one of the commercial places with the huge machines so I could do my comforters. So I never got back to WITs to cheer you all on. So WTG for yesterday afternoon and evening, too.
Ta-Das:
1. Up, meds
2. breakfast, coffee
3. came here
To-Dos:
not much on the home front today -- church and memorial service and dinner. But I hope to
1. take folded underwear from laundry cart and put in drawer
2. sort and fold and put away socks during Game of Thrones.
A note about the socks: Most of them are sem-sorted. I got so tired of loosing socks that I started pinning them together before tossing them in the laundry basket. That way both could go missing or both could decide to stay. I don't always do this, or sometimes run out of safety pins, but it really has helped my sanity.
3. Make bed
I'll be cheering you all on today, and look forward to reading all your Ta-Das at the end of the day.
