I've done about 75% of the dishes. I think I need to post each day even if I don't get them all done.
well done everyone, it's helping to read about your progress. I'd love to get a one week streak up, very impressed with arid and papermoons long streaks!

I think , I forgot to post last night . Dishes were done before bed.
Good for you Louie , some is better then none
New saying I found
Better productive then perfect. which sounds like what you are doing.
I was having the same problem so I stared doing them at each meal or baking session, so they did not become more then I could handle.

count the day if you have made an effort Louie - even if / especially if , you have a way to go to catch up. Someone else had a strategy of washing one thing every time they went by the sink - which was often. Others wash just what they need, plus 1.

Missed Tuesday but caught up Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Tired ...one hour drive each way to work.
Slept in till 9:30 starting turkey and then back to bed!
Turkey going in convection oven so should take 5 hours or so.
Neck going for gravy.
Will start Mac and cheese and cornbread later at around 2. Green bean casserole at 2:30 and daughter making dessert.

I almost caught up on dishes today, but ran out of detergent. Unless there's one around the house somewhere … may be one in the basement, where I've been using detergent and bleach to clean floors. Going to look ….

I keep a bottle of dish wash liquid in my bathroom cupboard - great for rubbing straight onto oil / grease stains on clothing (when it goes white you can wash it off, then wash normally) or for a bucket of clean up solution. yay larataylor lostchild cleanbee jendela Dit hollyhock. Glad you can stop by. A work in progress - thats great. Hope you enjoyed thanksgiving - whatever you did today.

I did find a bottle of detergent downstairs, and did more dishes before I left for dinner. Got three counters clear and clean. Not much left!

Hiya cleanbee lostchild, wynken hollyhock, larataylor, well done for all the dishes done. Lostchild, it is hard learning a new job and with a long commute, so well done keeping up with the dishes. We have had yet another friend to stay and I have been working on keeping abreast of the dishes. It was interesting today when my friend, who has messy tendencies like me, said 'wow, you have been washing dishes, cleaning up and putting things away, and everything is lovely. Is that how it's done?' Hmm, maybe that is how it is done. DH has been helping a lot with the dishes without being asked. I am feeling good that we are at the end of the house guests for now, until Christmas time. So, I can relax a little and consider tackling the doom room aka dining room. Also I need to prioritise Christmas shopping/planning. Happy Thanksgiving to all of those of you who are celebrating this event. BTW, I have just finished another load of hand washing
