Hmm, well I have done quite a bit of stuff today, but not really cracked on with the cleaning I planned to do. Going to try and have a little flurry of activity now.
Done: Walked into town and collected tickets for the theatre next week Went grocery shopping Booked an exam revision course, plus coach trip there and back, plus accommodation Emailed my mother and a friend
Found out yesterday that I passed the exam I sat last month. Now I have to hit hardcore revision mode for the next one, while continuing to be better about maintaining my home. Also, my mother is coming to stay with me overnight next week and things could do with looking a little cleaner and tidier.
To Do: Clear all floors so that I can vacuum tomorrow Clear settees (I really struggle to maintain clear settees, I just dump stuff on them and forget about it) Put away last weekend's mammoth washing up pile Do a load of washing up

Done: Stripped bed in spare-room Put a laundry load on Cleared away most of last week's mammoth washing up pile Did a load of washing up Did some pantry organising Put some food away in fridge
Going to sit and warm my frosty toes for a bit (seriously kitchen, why so cold?), and then may and try to tackle the first two jobs on my previous list.

Righty-ho, it's Sunday morning and I must get back to it.
To Do: Empty all room bins and replace liners Put away yesterday's washing up Wipe kitchen surfaces Put away food from the dining room - anything that won't go off (tins, etc.) can just get piled in a box for now, as I just need to get on top of the mess in that room (currently far and away the worst in the house)

Done: Emptied two room bins into black rubbish bag. Put away most food from dining room Started going through (huge) boxes of random stuff in dining room - moving some stuff into bags to be sorted properly at a later date, some into bin, some into recycling. Took one emptied box upstairs, in preparation for it to go up to attic room. Gathered some clothing and put into washing machine.
Dining room now looks like a bomb hit it, but should start looking under (some) control again in an hour or two. If I can get this done and vacuum round, house won't be a complete disaster zone when I have a visitor later this week.
To Do: Continue sorting stuff from boxes then take boxes to attic room (where I have a bit more built in storage) Take bags of random stuff for later sorting to attic room Clear dining room floor in preparation for vacuuming Put away yesterday's washing up
Need to be ready for vacuuming by 6 or 7pm at the latest, so I don't disturb my neighbours as it's getting towards bedtime.

Done: More sorting of boxes and stuff in dining room - now more like a grenade has gone off in there than a bomb... Sorted through all my (huge assortment of) plastic bags - anything but (un-holey) bags-for-life have been put together to go in the recycling bin (didn't know I could before this week) Put away some tools in an organised fashion Threw away some stuff that has moved with me for years Took boxes upstairs
To Do: Push on with the dining room - if I lose impetus now it will be very hard to get going again Take things to attic room for storage

Done: More dining room sorting and organising - now more like someone tripped up while carrying a load of stuff Washed my nut milk strainer in boiling water and hung up to dry Took stuff out to recycling bin Put a load of laundry on
To Do: Get dining room organised to the point that floor is fully clear Clear all other downstairs floors Vacuum downstairs

Done: Cleared my dining room Cleared other downstairs floors Took some stuff up to store in attic room Hung up laundry Vacuumed downstairs rooms Gutted my settee (see my other thread) Put rubbish out
After the settee experience, I am so beyond done for the day. Going to have a shower and then something to eat. With work, I may not manage much more cleaning before my mother comes to stay on Thursday, but if I can move the stuff on the stairs, vacuum them, and make her bed up, then she should survive the visit unscathed!

Feeling a bit lonely here - have people moved elsewhere? I dropped out for awhile. Got back on SOS yesterday, trying out Working in Threes again. I may start posting my short lists here again...
