Welcome lyrael, well done for starting on the backlog. My dish backlog ebbs and flows, but the kitchen is slowly getting better. I have washed most of the dishes. Some pans soaking.

I can't wait until I can say those three magical words "all dishes done." I am really just going to work on dishes, laundry, and the cat box for a while to see if that helps. Dishes and laundry are honestly most of my mess.

I have finally returned home (Saturday night) and I've just finished catching up on reading this thread (12+ pages). I quit reporting from my mother's because the internet connection was so frustrating but for the 5 weeks I was there, we (Mom and I) only missed 3-5 nights of washing dishes completely!!! This is a minor miracle which I can directly trace back to this thread.
My own kitchen was somewhat "cluttery" upon my return (my husband hasn't caught the vision yet) but I shipped it into shape today.
Today's dishes - DONE
GRyPiT - DONE
You ladies are doing GREAT!!!

welcome lyrael gracious cleanbee lost jendela imamess @lyreal dishes washed hre tonight. helped at dm's - when see let me. I am powerless over people places and things, and esp powerless over controlling dm. WTG wynken - and everyone! Wynken, I can certainly appreciate your last statement there. I worked all told a couple or three hours on the kitchen yesterday. I got much of the nasty hand-wash done. But have not touched cleaning out the fridge. It should not be too bad. Didn't I just do it a month ago? I hope to finish the kitchen today! But if I dont, it will be there tomorrow!

lyrael yes those are magic words, and to quote wynken "The magic is within. Use it." I look forward to the day you (and I) can say "dishes all done". cleanbee, wynken, well done for offering to help your DM, as you say, it is her decision if to accept your kind offer thedreadedknock, I am going to start on my backlog today -yes, a new backlog I have made a start by loading DW. dayeanu, well done for tackling your own backlog. Good luck with finishing what you started yesterday.

When I left this morning I just had pans in the sink to do. When I arrived home I seem to have had an invasion of flies. So now I will get the pans done and try to encourage the flies to go find somewhere else to live or I will spray them with something deadly.

Accomplished: Another half-month of daily dish-washing. Thank you, thread folks, for keeping me accountable.
