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![/size][/b]
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.[/size][/b]
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das.
YOU DESERVE THEM!

Thanks wantinmore! You're not kidding. I usually put it off for ages, and they end up being really late in going back! These items were already 3 weeks outside the 14 day approval period.  Well done you for getting the dishwasher sorted! Hope your DN feels better soon! Even if it is just Hateschoolitis!!!  Tadas: Went for blood test. Went to the supermarket. Emptied bin in living room. More tumble drying done. TODOs: Put on another load of tumble drying! *yaaawwwn* Put all these clean, freshly tumble dried clothes away! Make dinner. |
