This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.)
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.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or
depressed or overwhelmed, 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 three 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!

It's 12.41pm, and I've only been up for an hour! Mind you, in my defence, I did get up at 7.30 for an hour. TADAs: Got up with OH and made him coffee before he went to work. Tumble dried a load of washing and put next load on. Made DD's breakfast. TODOs: Fill a bag of rubbish in the kitchen. Do more tumble drying. Phone mother! (Trust me, I'd rather be clearing rubbish!!  ) Good luck everyone else on your tasks for today!! Have a great weekend! |

Tadas: 1)woke up 5:40am !!! 2)6:15am took DS to meet with Engineering/Robotics Club for breakfast as they have there big contest today, "Game".

Hi everyone. A big woot woot for all of you! I got up at 9:30, and did all usual morning stuff. Then I got started on my TODOS: 1. Breakfast.  2. Put some summer clothes away. 3. Put out more fall/winter clothes. 4. Went to a church bazzar and took many chances on raffles. The big raffle has a first prize of $500.00! Wish me luck.  Other raffles had gift certificate prizes to local stores and restraunts that we go to. I also bought some home cooked food to take home. There are some GOOD cooks there!  AND, I bought a back massager with heat for $5.00!  This aftternoon I go to work till 9.  3g |

Hi Squalor kin, this morning I woke up at 9:30, (weird considering I'd been up till at least 2) then I: went to the store and bought cat litter, soy milk changed the catbox and her little newspaper that she needs gave the cat all her new medicine I still am disappointed that there is a slight cat pee smell in here, I think it's the newspapers. But I've had to close my window since we've NO HEAT in the building. I have to:  go pick up her other medicine at the pharmacy buy paper towels (I forget each time I'm at the store) do some modified form of bathing that I'm willing to do in a cold apt. fill out claim form for pet food poisoning case I'm really mad about the heat. In NYC heat needs to be on Oct 1, not meaning you need to have heat on, but if the temp drops the thermostat should kick it on. It's not cold, but it's 62degrees out, and same in the apt, which is too cold to run around with wet hair. My super's phone never takes messages, neither does the building manager. I hate this place!!! |
