This is the Working in Threes (W.I.T.) Thread
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. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed,
or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, 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 3 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!

Thanks Ally. My turn to baptise. a new thread! TA DA Swept yard and put out green waste bin for collection Put out recycling bin, full Washed and wiped two toddler-sized garden chairs that I am giving to my neighbour's little DD. She's also getting the outgrown swimming gear and the big interlocking rubber mats. So glad that these items will soon be used and appreciated in my neighbour's home instead of going to waste and taking up space in mine!

Got up this morning. Wasted some time on social media. I am trying to stay out of the controversy, but keep getting sucked back in. Made and ate a healthy breakfast
Spent a few hours studying for class. Ancient Roman history this week. Went out for a jog Rinsed out the chicken waterer and refilled it. Collected the eggs and the mail
Ate some lunch Loaded and started the dishwasher Cleaned out my car, DH will be leaving shortly to get my oil changed.
to-do: Continue with my studies I would like to take my quiz this evening... We will see I need to study at least 2 more hours first. Shower and pack my meals for work tomorrow. When I wait until morning to pack meals, I often end up getting to work late. Check to see if plants need water, and water them Refill the chicken feeder. I checked it and it is nearly empty.
