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!

Hey I started the thread! Thanks Skatters for doing it yesterday. TaDa's from last night:  De-squalored under my bed, every thing fine under there now, no encrusted dirt, cat pee, stuff etc. space bagged my beach towels threw out a destroyed old quilt of my great grandmothers, been holding on to the shreds of it for years really checked for signs of bedbugs, and I think I'm wrong about maybe having them. I think I've been bitten by mosquitos this week as I had the windows open without screens TaDa's from today: Let my super in so he could entirely replace my bathroom sink and cabinet pulled everything out of the bathroom sink cabinet and discovered I've been hoarding stuck together paintbrushes, potting soil which I never use, a pitcher for mixing plant food and water which I never use, nearly empty paint cans etc. light colored laundry ToDo's for today:  black laundry finish cleaning the whole of the bedroom floor vacuum in middle room    |

Hi Green Fuzz.
You have accomplished some very substantial and practical things. The sorts of things that really make a difference in a short time.
I am hoping to declutter some forgotten spots today too.
I am home from work. Our school was closed because they found out that the continuous renovations have stirred up asbestos in the air and on all surfaces. Big panic. But I can't think about this.
We are on "home duty" as my boss puts it, so officially supposed to stay at home and work. And since our work system shows up who is logged on and not, it truly is a Big Brother thing. I will leave it running all day, whether I am at the screen or not. Frankly, this day is a much needed Godsent for other things.
Done:
1. Read all the mail/work from my boss online. Phew. I have a lot to do in the next few weeks.
2. Sent a message to a coworker regarding a meeting. I need the schedule for it, and her file won't open.
3. Made plans with my mum to meet for a quick pizza slice at 1pm.
To Do:
1. Pick up all clothing off bedroom floor and put in laundry bags or hang if clean.
2. Fluff and make bed.
3. Brush teeth, get dressed.

Hey everyone,
I've not done ANYthing on my list yet! Nada! I have made a grocery list and will do my laundry. Ate lunch. But my super came in and took several hours to give me an entirely new CLEAN sink and sink cabinet which had more space. I threw out most of the stuff I had in there, and was able to restock it including a little wash tub that had never had a place to live before, I bought new TP and put it in there!
But I've done nothing else. I'm tired from yesterday, but I do have to shop for food and do laundry. mandatory.
